F/X (also known as, or subtitled Murder by Illusion) is a 1986 action film about Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown), an expert in the art of Special Effects (F/X) with a reputation built on many low-budget hack and slash films (Including such titles as I Dismember Momma). The Department of Justice hires him to stage the murder of a gangster about to enter the Witness Protection Program. He agrees, but then things get complicated. Meanwhile, a New York City police detective, Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy), is investigating the faked murder and cannot understand why the Department of Justice is even less helpful than usual.
A sequel, F/X2, (aka F/X2: The Deadly Art of Illusion) appeared in 1991. A spin-off TV-series entitled F/X: The Series was produced from 1996 to 1998.
