National Lampoon’s Hollywood Hustle<\/p>\n

Mickey Rourke<\/a> is proving he can still play a badass on screen … this time unloading a gun in a heated action scene from the new film, \u201cNational Lampoon\u2019s Hollywood Hustle.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a new clip — obtained by TMZ — Rourke is seen saving the day during a shootout, blasting a rifle at a masked man and sending him tumbling off a drive-in movie screen.<\/p>\n

Rourke also flexes his acting chops with an expletive-filled rant, railing against Hollywood and saying he doesn\u2019t trust people in the industry because they only want to \u201cblow smoke up your ass and steal your money.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film stars Rourke alongside Alec Baldwin, Danny Trejo, Tara Reid, Carrot Top, and others — all playing exaggerated, fictionalized versions of themselves. The plot centers on a movie\u2019s bank account suddenly vanishing, putting everyone\u2019s careers on the line.<\/p>\n

“National Lampoon” leans hard into the real-life chaos many of the stars have experienced –and the timing couldn\u2019t be more fitting for Rourke, who\u2019s currently facing eviction<\/a> from his L.A. rental home and has been staying in a West Hollywood hotel.<\/p>\n

TMZ broke the story … Rourke\u2019s manager has been urging him to take job offers<\/a> that have been presented after fans raised nearly $100K for him through GoFundMe. So far, Rourke has shown little interest, holding out for opportunities that pay closer to $200K per day.<\/p>\n

Rourke filmed \u201cNational Lampoon\u201d in 2024, and plenty has happened since … but the movie could be pivotal in putting him back on the map as the leading man he wants to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mickey Rourke Pops Off in New ‘National Lampoon’ Flick Published January 10, 2026 4:00 AM PST | Updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":{"0":"post-399682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
