Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: UNBELIEVABLE! MY FAVORITE MOVIE. RIGHT UP THERE WITH 'MIDNIGHT COWBOY' AND 'FORREST GUMP'. SUCH A GREAT INJUSTICE THAT THERE IS NO SEQUEL OR TWO OR THREE. IT'S NOT TOO LATE THOUGH DICE? RENNY? CAN YOU HERE ME? 'ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE 2000'?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clint Eastwood...I....
Review: This has to be one of my favorite films. Mr Ford Fairlane, Rock 'n' roll detective has to come to DVD soon! This movie is a classic, the humor of Dice Clay, coupled with the 80's rock business...you simply can't go wrong. Everyone from the pussy cats to Tone loc are great, and though ford diggs...well you get the picture. He busts a brain vessel everytime booty time walks his Al Bundy butt into the room, and speaks the fine words of todays society - SO MANY *********...SO FEW BULLETS!

This FILM ROCKS and BETTER COME OUT ON DVD SOOOOOONNN!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Rock and Roll, Baby!
Review: Andrew Dice Clay fans are not the only people who can enjoy "The adventures of Ford Fairlane". It should hold an appeal for anyone who admire the conviction of people who travel a path very different from the mainstream of humanity. Ford Fairlane is definitely one of these types of characters.

Wearing a leather jacket with the collar up, tight black jeans, slicked up hair and shiny, black, pointy, leather boots, Ford tears up the screen with his sharp sexist wit. He is so conscious of being cool that he often runs the risk of losing his life.

This film has more quotes than you can shake a stick at and rightly so. The script would have to be one of the best around. Lines like the following:
"Johnny was the only person that could ever out-gross me"
"We used to have gross-out contests"
"I would cough up a wad of phlegm on the table and Johnny would say 'Nice try' and pull out a straw"

Ford Fairlane is a rock and roll detective. By that I mean he specialises in investigative cases in the music industry. Specifically, in Los Angeles. The story takes Ford through an investigation given to him by his good friend Johnny Crunch, a radio shock jock, who is killed shortly thereafter.

The case eventually manages to suck in two other investigations. One of which concerns the recent death of a heavy metal band's lead singer. The other is a hundred dollar case to find the Father of a kid that idolizes Ford and emulates him in all things.

Despite a number of premature attempts by Fairlane, the case is eventually closed but only at the cost of his home, his girl and his best friend. All of which would be sad if the film were not the frighteningly funny comedy that it is.

So, if you are getting tired of being politically correct, want to objectify women, drive a tasteless car and produce knock-em-dead one liners at the drop of a prat, then settle yourself with a six-pack and some snacks while enjoying "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best comedy ever, even for old chicks
Review: I'll never understand why this movie wasn't wildly popular. When I saw it, the audience was absolutely rocked with laughter. In fact, I had to see the video to catch things I missed because I could barely hear. Admittedly, I was one of the only women laughing, but most women need to lighten up... it's just a movie!

My only complaint about the video is that the coloration and sound didn't translate very well. This movie was utterly gorgeous on the big screen. It had fabulous club scenes. Whoever edited it did a superb job. I'm glad there were so many other positive reviews. I too would love to see a sequel. Andrew Dice Clay has gone on to make fairly mediocre movies since then, and I have hardly heard of him. Someone said Lauren Holly was unnoticed. I don't agree with that, I thought she was fantastic, and added a lot to the movie. Everyone in it was great.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: average film

Summary: Funniest movie ever
Review: Andrew Dice Clay is the greatest talent in the history of comedy. How this movie did not win best picture is a mystery to me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boot my Boles

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbelievable...Ohhh
Review: Dice is at his finest with one liners and macho...pig...sexist persona. I can watch it over and over again and never stop laughing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DEFINATELY BOOTY TIME!
Review: This movie is a true comedic masterpeice. From beginning to end, Dice and the rest of the cast have you rolling in the aisles. From in-your-face jokes, to subtle phrases that are truly classic, this movie has it all. To this very day, I pray for a sequel!
