Controversial and often offensive stand-up comedian Andrew Dice Clay made his debut as a feature film star in this crude comedy. Fairlane is a "rock and roll detective" who works in the music business, has an office on Sunset Boulevard, and drives a 1957 Ford, with clothing to match. He floats through the rock clubs of Hollywood, picking up women and clients, and soon stumbles into a case involving the death of a heavy metal singer, a corrupt music executive (Wayne Newton), the murder of a radio shock-jock (Gilbert Gottfried), and the kidnapping of the jock's daughter (Maddie Corman). Music stars like Sheila E. and Motley Crue singer Vince Neil also have cameos in the film, which attempts to transplant Clay's aggressively obnoxious stage persona into a movie environment.

TITLE: The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane
GENRE: Big Cast Comedy
CAST: Dice Clay, Lauren Holly, Priscilla Presley, Wayne Newton, Robert Englund, Gilbert Gottfried, Morris Day, Shiela E., Ton Loc, Vince Neil, Ed O'Neill and hundreds of beautiful Rock'n'Roll Fanettes
PLOT: The detective to the music industry, Ford Fairlane, is on what seems an endless chase. He finds one person only to discover it's a clue to a bigger case. Finds another clue and the case grows more. In the end he finds what he was looking for: Love.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT: 9 of 10; If you can see past the crudeness of the diceman's stage persona, this is a riotous comedy (I mean, who could value a guitar above all else?) The costumes are beautiful, especially Clay's leathers. The props are to drool for (especially the Ford convertible/hardtop). The dialogue is, well, crude Clay throughout. The music is first rate.
DVD BONUS: Commentary dubbing of the Director Renny Harlin, A making of... fearurette, a Billy Idol Video, "Rock The Cradle Of Love", and a theatrical trailer.
ADDED NOTES: I think this movie would have been more kindly recieved if not for the occurrence of other incidents in Clay's career due to the type of comedy he persued. A shame because he is a remarkably good actor! And, Lauren Holly got her big movie star launched here.
