Jerry Maguire 1996

Jerry Maguire used to be a typical sports agent: willing to do just about anything he could to get the biggest possible contracts for his clients, plus a nice commission for himself. Then, one day, he suddenly has second thoughts about what he's really doing. When he voices these doubts, he ends up losing his job and all of his clients, save Rod Tidwell, an egomaniacal football player.

An ode to ‘Jerry Maguire,’ the odes to ‘Jerry Maguire,’ and all the jerry maguire-ing (including the building of a pyramid made of ‘Jerry Maguire’ VHS tapes) that followed in the wake of ‘Jerry Maguire.’

Five years before the hit "Jerry Maguire" hit theaters, there was this obscure porn feature starring Buck Adams in an even more flamboyant role as an egotistical, hard-nosed agent. Buck brings to the assignment the combined energy of a Gooding Junior plus a Cruise. He manages a rock band called The Hormones (by a weird coincidence, an Irish band by that name came along in 1996, the year of "Jerry Maguire"). His chief antagonist is a domineering manager of girl bands named Sir (as in the bondage connotation) played by porn's leading or only dwarf star Napoleon.
