Parting Shots is a 1999 British film starring Chris Rea, Felicity Kendal, John Cleese, Bob Hoskins, Diana Rigg, Oliver Reed, Ben Kingsley, Joanna Lumley, and Peter Davison.
Harry Sterndale (award-winning recording artist Chris Rea in his acting debut) is not a well man. Given just six weeks to live, his doctors advise him to get his affairs in order. Not one to rest on his laurels, or wallow in self-pity Harry sets out to leave a lasting impression and go out with a bang! With nothing to lose he embarks on a madcap rampage of bad behaviour from taking revenge on the friend who stole his ideas to his cheating wife – Harry is about to give everyone who did him wrong something to really remember him by.
Parting Shots is a ferocious black comedy in the dark vein of A Fish Called Wanda, featuring Bob Hoskins (Mona Lisa), John Cleese (A Fish Called Wanda), Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous), Diana Rigg (The Avengers), Felicity Kendall (Rosemary Thyme), Oliver Reed (Gladiator) and Ben Kingsley (Sexy Beast).
