The Dead Pool (1988) and an early Jim Carrey

A maniacal serial killer has a list of several celebrities that he wants to kill, for unclear reasons. 

A horror movie director (Lian Neeson) and a drug addicted rock star (Jim Carrey) are also involved. Dirty Harry ends up on the list too.

As the movie progresses, we get more clues as to who the killer is and his motives.

My favorite part is the chase scene with the remote-controlled toy car strapped with a bomb. Patricia Clarkson plays a reporter.

This was Clint's first movie after he served as the mayor of Carmel, California.
