Plot Summary

In this funny in-joke short also known as "5 Guys in a Limo", Don LaFontaine, the king of movie trailer narration for Hollywood blockbusters in the 1990's, is traveling in his real life limo to the 26th Annual Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards. Along the way, he enthusiastically asks his real life driver and associate, Clinton Hendricks, to pick up four of his greatest colleagues - John Leader, famous for narrating trailers for 90's family movies such as Beethoven (1992), Nick Tate, famous for narrating trailers for several Hollywood hits such as Jurassic Park (1993), Mark Elliot, famous for narrating trailers for Disney animation such as the trailer for Aladdin (1992) and Al Chalk, the only African American trailer narrator in the group. Thanks to their professional deformation, the gang spends the rest of the ride talking only in trailer narration and making quips and in-joke references to their work. Also, Hal Douglas, the most prolific Hollywood trailer narrator next to LaFontaine himself, phones the limo at one point to say hi, but Don cheekily pretends not to remember who Hal is and ignores him. The short was specifically filmed as a tongue in cheek intro for the 26th Annual Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards.

Trivia The short is full of in-jokes, some more obscure than others. For instance, when Hal Douglas phones Don's limo, the theme from Martin Scorsese's New York, New York (1977) starts playing as an in-joke to indicate that unlike the other trailer narrators in the short, Hal works on the West Coast.
