The revival screening of the R-rated 'Dirty Work,' starring Norm Macdonald, showcased its cult status despite its initial box office failure. Organized by Hollywood Entertainment, the event featured remarks from co-writer Frank Sebastiano, who humorously noted the audience's gender diversity. Although the original 1998 release struggled with a $10 million return on a $13 million budget, the newly restored 'Dirtier Cut' differs from the filmmakers' intended vision. Sebastiano expressed surprise at the restoration, given the original film's lack of commercial success.
"The Dirtier Cut is not a director's cut or 'the exact cut that the writers wanted.' What happened was that the filmmakers submitted the original cut to the MPAA in the hopes of getting a PG-13."
"The original Dirty Work was released as a PG-13 movie, only earning $10 million at the box office off a $13 million budget - the kind of performance that makes you a cult favorite."
