City Slickers is a 1991 American comedy film directed by Ron Underwood and starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby, Helen Slater and Jack Palance. Palance won an Academy Award for his performance. It was shot in New York City, New Mexico, Durango, Colorado, and Spain.
The film is #73 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies" and number 86 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs; it is notable for frequently interrupting its story with humorous musings on various contemporary topics. The film's plot — inexperienced cowboys battling villains as they press on with their cattle drive after the death of their leader — is similar to John Wayne's The Cowboys.
City Slickers was followed by a sequel, City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold, in 1994.
