Christopher Guest (
Waiting for Guffman) directed this comedy about two hapless explorers -- hard-drinking trapper Bartholomew Hunt (the late
Chris Farley in his last major role) and foppish Leslie Edwards (
Matthew Perry) -- who lead an ill-fated 1804 expedition through the Pacific Northwest in a hopeless, doomed effort to reach the Pacific Ocean before
Lewis and Clark. Others joining their trek are French linguist Guy Fontenot (
Eugene Levy), who is unable to decipher dialects of any Native American tribes; Spanish conquistador Hidalgo (
Kevin Dunn), who seeks the Fountain of Youth; Fontenot's Indian mistress Shaquinna (
Lisa Barbuscia); Bidwell (
David Packer), who keeps losing parts of his body; oddball Pratt (
Hamilton Camp); and Edwards' manservant Jonah (
Bokeem Woodbine). Filmed on location in Northern California and the Big Bear region.
