What happens

Big Bully is a 1996 American black comedy film directed by Steve Miner, written by Mark Steven Johnson and starring Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold as two men, a childhood bully and his victim, as they reconnect as adults. Big Bully was released by Warner Bros. on January 26, 1996. It was panned by critics and was a box-office bomb, earning only $2 million from a $15 million budget. It was Rick Moranis' last on-screen role in a theatrical release, prior to his long hiatus from acting. Although the film is set in Minnesota, it was actually filmed in Vancouver and Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. The school scenes were filmed at the Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver.
