The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990)

Definitely compatible to those who enjoy the humor of Andrew Dice Clay, this film managed to combine his stand-up routine with an over-the-top plot line with him as the local "rock and roll detective", many hilarious lines and perfect cartoony feel.

Now I KNOW that most people thought this film sucked but I thought it was hilarious pretty much the whole way through. Director Renny Harlin does his best Tony Scott imitation, the cameos and close-to-nekkid girls were fun and it was nice to see that the filmmakers weren't taking themselves too seriously either (self-refential jokes throughout).

For Lauren Holly fans, see one of her earliest roles as Ford's "nerdy" secretary, who of course, goes on to become a sexy babe later on in the film... /ubb/smile.gif

Besdies, any film that has Wayne Newton saying "fuck me!" in it, MUST be a funny movie!

A Fun, frivolous, cartoon-like adventure.

Stars Andrew Dice Clay, Priscilla Presley, Wayne Newton, Lauren Holly and even a cameo by the singer of Motley Crue, Vince Neil

Great movie!! One of my favorites - a timeless classic in the book of SirReel. Clay rocks in this movie - from his cool-ass car, to his bitchin' pad - "PURPLE HAZE" stereo system - to milkshakes & cigarettes. Rock n' roll dick: I love it!!

I loved this movie. It was too funny and one of the few movies that was able to take a comedians routine and turn it into a halfdecent script. Diceman at his best - offensive, rude and an awesome hairdo. /ubb/biggrin.gif /ubb/biggrin.gif
