1. Does Bobbie Bowfi nger have a set of valid selection criteria for fi lling the role of a Kit Ramsey lookalike? Does Bowfi nger apply the criteria uniformly to each applicant? This fi lm, which brought Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy together for the fi rst time, off ers a funny look at Hollywood fi lmmaking. Bobby Bowfi nger (Martin), perhaps the least successful director in fi lms, wants to produce a low-budget fi lm with top star Kit Ramsey (Murphy). Bowfi nger’s problem: recruit a crew and cast with almost no budget and trick Kit into appearing in his fi lm. So he decides to hire a lookalike.

Bowfi nger interviews several candidates for the Kit Ramsey lookalike role. He rejects everyone until Jifferson

(Jiff ) Ramsey (also played by Murphy) auditions. This scene is an edited version of the “The Lookalike”

sequence early in the fi lm. It includes Jiff ’s audition and interview, and a brief look at his fi rst day at work.
