Summary: Rock 'n' roll!
Review: "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" is the greatest movie of all times. It has an all-star cast, awesome soundtrack and enough one-liners to fill a book. The movie is exceptionally well put together by the prodigiously talented Renny Harlin (who also directed Die Hard 2), and performed and written with style. Harlin (who reportedly left most of the editing to his crew so he could move on to DIE HARD 2) has once again proven himself to be one of the finest visual stylists in Hollywood. FORD FAIRLANE is only Harlin's fifth film, but he has already defined a style of his own, and his use of the camera is amazingly assured. Full of rich nighttime images and wonderfully lit interiors (shot by DIE HARD 2's cinematographer Oliver Wood), FORD FAIRLANE is a treat for the eyes. The pacing is quick, and the comic book-like transitions work nicely, but as Harlin proved with DIE HARD 2, his strongest talent is his handling of action sequences. The two best scenes in FORD FAIRLANE are action-oriented. The first is an extended car chase through a graveyard (chock full of necrophilia jokes and rolling corpses), and the second is an outstanding sequence that takes place on the Capitol Records Tower. Of course, there is something in this movie to offend just about anyone. However, the screenplay does play it safe by eventually backing away from every single "taboo" it almost breaks: the corpse Clay jokes about having sex with turns out to be a living woman; a cute Koala bear is found dead, strung up by his neck, only to be brought back later wearing a neck brace. Trying to be both "bad" and "good," the screenplay definitely wants to have its cake and eat it too. THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE is an exceptionally well-made film that is everything you could ever want in an Andrew Dice Clay movie; it's vulgar, tasteless, nasty, cynical, and very funny.

Summary: I'm Ashamed To Say It But I Actually Like This Movie
Review: I'm not a fan of the savage, vulgar comedy that Andrew "Dice" Clay got more into later in his stand-up career. However, I do like this movie more than when I first saw it. The movie is, dare I say it?, kind of funny. The Diceman plays a rock and roll detective hired to find a missing girl and solve the murder of his DJ friend(Gilbert Gottfried). There are many gags in this silly movie and they definitley make me laugh. If only Clay had stayed as appealing in this film in real life. It has a really fun cast: Robert"Freddy Krueger"Englund, Priscilla Presley, Lauren Holly, Wayne Newton, and Ed 'O' Neill from "Married With Children". There are many little sayings that Clay does in the movie and they are quite funny. The script completely falls apart and the mystery of the case doesn't hold anybody's interest for long. Who really cares?. It's a real stupid with enough appeal to be fun and enjoyable.

Summary: COOL AND IRONIC BUT...
Review: Cool music score, great cast, big productionm budget, but the detective story, while laid out clearly and treated seriously is abandoned somewhere along the way. For all it's wildness it could have also proved to be compelling. Very ironic to see INXS'S Michael Hutchence's fictitious koalo bear hanging from it's neck, as Hutchence himself died from strangulation in real life long after this movie premiered.

Summary: An silly good comedy action film.
Review: The Plot:When an successful heavy metal singer dies by strange way. When a rock and roll detective named Ford Fairlane(Andrew Dice Clay in a vulgar comic performance), is hired by his bestfriend(Gilbert Gottfried) to find a missing young girl(Maddie Corman), who is actually his lost daughter. Then when his best friend died the same night, he was hired. Then the next day, he was hired by mystery woman(Priscilla Presley) to find the same girl, but once he finds her. She has something to do with the heavy metal singer death, he will do anything to find the truth. This film feautres a good cast-Wayne Newton, Lauren Holly(Dumb and Dumber), Robert Englund(A nightmare on elm street series) and Ed O`Neill(The star of the hit t.v. show Married with Children). An good guilty pleasure to see, directed by Renny Harlin(Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea). Grade:B+. Panavision.

Summary: UNBELIEVABLE!
Review: What can I say? Every now and then a movie comes along that has the right mix humour, action and gorgeous women. I accidently stumbled across this movie but have seen it with my friends over 30 times. The story: Andrew Dice Clay plays Ford Fairlane a Rock 'n' Roll detective who is hired to track down a groupie. As in all movies, certain elements have been withheld from our hero and so he blindly stumbles into all sorts of trouble. This movie was a lot of fun to watch and my only regret is that I haven't been able to work out how to make the perfect 'Sambuca Milkshake' - but I'm having fun trying!

Summary: Excellent film making
Review: A very well made film. Renny Harlin's directing is the best of his career, and the soundtrack (performed by Yello) as well as the cinematography are superb. Definitely one my favorite films and I am getting impatient for it to come out DVD. Very comical performance by the "Dice Man"...

Summary: Ford is still great after 10 years
Review: I have watched this movie at least 30 times over the past 10 years and it just keeps getting better. Bring Dice out of retirement and make a Farlane 2 movie.

Rating:
Summary: Still a great flick after all these years
Review: I love this movie. My friends and I watch this movie about five times a year. There is not a dull part in this movie. Dice's facial expressions and cocky but cool attitude really make the movie.

Summary: Comedy Of The Decade
Review: This film was absolutely hilarious. Truly the #1 under-rated comedy of the decade. It was wonderfully done, Clay and Holly are at their best. BUY IT, WATCH IT and ENJOY. Remember its really not a family film. So dont bring little Timmy too watch with you.
