Jane Austen's Mafia!

Jane Austen's Mafia! (1998)

Jane Austen's Mafia! is a 1998 spoof comedy directed by Jim Abrahams (the Hot Shots! series) starring Jay Mohr, Billy Burke, Christina Applegate, and in his final film, Lloyd Bridges. As the title suggests, the film took on gangster films, drawing mainly upon the Godfather series and Casino, but also drawing upon other films of the late nineties like Forrest Gump and The English Patient. The title also references the brief surge in Jane Austen adaptations at the time.
