New York Strip Clubs: Big Fan Review (Eagles Fan Version)
The eerie Plaxico Burress angle. After the film ended, Robert Siegel showed up for some Q&A with the crowd, and someone asked him about the Plaxico Burress angle. While Siegel explained that the film was written and shot before Plax’s unfortunate handgun accident, he did admit that the parallels to the film are pretty awkward. The plot of Big Fan involves an incident at a strip club that earns the Giants’ star player a suspension and sends the G-Men’s season into a tailspin, culminating in a big game against the Eagles. Sound familiar? It gets better: the strip club in the film is the club where Antonio Pierce and Plax were hanging out earlier in the night (before the Latin Quarter), and the woman who plays Paul’s sister-in-law was working there when she was cast for the film (and claimed to have been at the club the night that Plax shot himself). Yup. Eerie.
