Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Movie Review: Another Satisfied Customer
Summary: 3 Stars
The film itself is terrible but the Diceman and screenwriter Daniel Waters provide more than enough memorable one liners to make it good. Director Renny Harlin is a master at making dumb movies look great, and he does so here setting this modern film noir in Los Angeles. Ford Fairlane (Clay) is a rock n' roll detective who as he puts it "gets into the hottest clubs and the hottest chicks." He runs a struggling business with his hot assistant Jazz (Lauren Holly). When not nagging Ford about overdue bills Jazz pines for him. Desperate for money, Ford takes on the case of Johnny Crunch (Gilbert Gottfried). Crunch, a radio shock jock, is looking for his daughter Zuzu Petals (Maddie Corman). He thinks a man with Ford's connections is just who he needs to track her down. Unfortunately for Ford within minutes of landing his first paying client he watches as both Crunch and the money go up in flames . Ford lands on his feet when a beautiful woman named Colleen (Priscilla Presley) re hires him to track down Zuzu. As Ford's investigation takes him deeper into the music industry he tangles with a colorful group of characters that includes a scary hitman (Robert Englund), a rival cop (Ed O'Neil), and a corrupt record executive named Grendel (Wayne Newton). The film is funny as hell but slow. It looks good, there are dozens of brilliant cameos, and the Dice exudes macho charisma effortlessly. No matter how dumb things get whenever Dice launches into a bit and ends it with his patented "Ohhh" that's enough for me to laugh out loud and have a good time.
Summary of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
The fast-paced and often seamy world of rock 'n' roll is his beat, but even detective Ford Fairlane (Andrew Dice Clay) is stunned when the king of shock-jocks, Johnny Crunch (Gilbert Gottfried), is electrocuted on the air. After all, Crunch was his only paying client! Crunch had hired Ford to track down a mysterious teenage groupie name Zuzu Petals - a search which quickly finds Ford tangled up, and trading insults, with a ruthless record executive (Wayne Newton) and merciless hit man (Robert Englund).Action & Adventure DVD Video
