''Jury Duty'' is a 1995 courtroom comedy starring Creator/PaulyShore, Creator/TiaCarrere, Creator/StanleyTucci, Creator/BrianDoyleMurray, Creator/ShelleyWinters and Creator/AbeVigoda.

After being rejected at tryouts at a strip club owned by his uncle along with his mother and her boyfriend go to Las Vegas to get married, Tommy Collins (Shore) gets himself enrolled as a jury member in a murder trial and pulls every trick to prolong the proceeding in order to exploit the remuneration paid to jury members.

This film is the last film to star veteran actress Creator/BillieBird, who was in her late eighties at the time.

Not to be confused with ''Series/JuryDuty''.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AxeCrazy: Once it's been revealed he's the serial killer, complete with a PsychoticSmirk, Tucci goes for full-on [[LargeHam ham]].
* ChekhovsGunman: A man Tommy meets before going into jury duty is seen trying to get out of it, before meeting with Tucci's character. Later, that man was the real Frank, and Tucci's character was posing as him for the trial as a member of the jury.
* DisguisedInDrag: Tommy ends up dressing up Bishop's "girlfriend" to visit him in prison. Bishop doesn't take it well.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Tommy is collecting polystyrene cups with his stepfather Jed, he discovers that the killer wasn't a fast food employee, but an environmentalist, which ultimately reveals that the juror known as Frank is the killer.
* GunmanWithThreeNames: The killer on trial is named, Carl Wayne Bishop.
* HehHehYouSaidX: The phrase "penis envy" is uttered in a courtroom scene, and Tommy interrupts the proceedings simply to ask for that to be repeated.
* InNameOnly: The German release of this film advertised it as a sequel to ''Film/SonInLaw'', even though both films are unrelated in any way, aside from starring Pauly Shore.
* KangarooCourt: Before Tommy is able to turn them all around, the jury was dead set on making Bishop fry on the electric chair.
* KillAndReplace: Subverted. Billy, whom the jurors know as Frank, ends up taking the identity of the real Frank, who was trying to get out of jury duty. But, at the movie's end, Billy knocks out Frank and was planning on killing him before Tommy showed up.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: Tommy gets a hold of a microphone on the bus and adopts this persona just to break the ice with his fellow jurors.
* {{Manchild}}: Tommy. He's crude, rude, and an idiot. (Come on, it's a Creator/PaulyShore movie!) Although he gets better following actual CharacterDevelopment after visiting Bishop in prison and studying law.
* MiscarriageOfJustice: The trial against Carl Wayne Bishop ends in a mistrial.
* SerialKiller: Carl Wayne Bishop is being on trial for killing seven fast food managers, and it turns out the real killer is enacting as [[GaiasVengeance Gaia's Avenger]].
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: An attractive woman who is willing to give Tommy a dollar, ultimately turns to be a cross-dressing man, judging by "her" deeper and masculine voice, causing Tommy to flee in disgust.
-->'''Cross-dressing man''': Let's go back to my place and cuddle.\\
'''Tommy''': Eww.
