Plot
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. — Bhob Stewart
