Summary: Surprisingly entertaining
Review: I never cared for the comedy of Andrew "Dice" Clay. I wasn't offended or disgusted by his stand-up routine; I just didn't find any of his jokes funny. Back in the summer of 1990, when the theater I worked at got a poster for The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, I wasn't the least bit interested, and figured it would bomb. I was right, and it never even showed at that particular movie house.
So, why did I rent it on VHS the day it was released? Two reasons: I'm a big Robert Englund fan, and I'd seen just about everything else in the video store. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be GOOD. Clay has a commanding onscreen persona, the rest of the cast is great (especially 27 year-old Lauren Holly), and it was funny. Granted, the humor isn't for all tastes. (This is the Diceman, after all.) But those in the mood for a well-done comedy/mystery should find much to like. Clay never really took off as a movie star, which is too bad. Check out his bravura performance as a villain in the otherwise lame No Contest. Too bad it wasn't in a better film.
It's nice to finally see this in its original widescreen format (DEATH TO PAN AND SCAN!!!). The audio is decent, and there are a few extras, including commentary by director Renny Harlin and the infamous "Cradle of Love" music video. Many a young boy were touched by this opus from Billy Idol...
I found this DVD at Wal-Mart for 5.88, two weeks before it was supposed to be released. Un-*******-believable!!

Review: Ok this movie isnt LOTR but DAMN is it a good rainy saturday afternoon popcorn muncher! Funny, somewhat bawdy(but toned down for the diceman to be shure)and Gilbert gottfried at his prime. A big plus is Maddie Corman as zuzu petals Was she HOT or what?

Summary: Superb DVD release that's been long overdue!
Review: I had the opportunity to buy the Adventures Of Ford Fairlane DVD about a month in advance, so I'll comment about the transfer and special features for buyers wanting details concerning the DVD. It is surely a definite must buy for fans of the movie.It is a Double-Sided DVD with a crystal clear Anamorphic 2.35:1 Widescreen version on one side and a Full-Screen "formatted to fit your TV" version on the other side of the disc. It would have been nicer to just have a Dual-Layer DVD instead of Double-Sided DVD (easier to scratch!), but that's only a small complaint. It's great to finally be able to see the movie in it's original Widescreen format, a lot of small details are not visible in the Pan & Scan VHS version that's been available for years. I haven't viewed the Full-Screen version on the disc, but the Widescreen transfer on the disc looks as good as any newer movie would on the DVD format. The audio options are English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, which is also very sharp and clear. You can also choose French or Spanish language tracks if you choose, both of those are in "mono" sound. Subtitles/Captions are available in English, French and Spanish as well. The DVD special features... There is a full-length audio commentary by director Renny Harlin that is quite informative. You can choose to listen to his commentary track on either the Widescreen or Full-Screen side of the disc. Also included is the original "Making Of" featurette from 1990 that runs about 6 minutes in length. Plus, the original music video for Billy Idol's "Cradle Of Love". And last but not least, the original theatrical trailer in 2.35:1 Widescreen format!

Summary: A Guilty Pleasure! Ya Hear!
Review: Ford Fairlane is one of those movies that is a guilty pleasure- The off color humor is the kind that you laugh and shake your head saying " I can't believe they said that"- but you are belly laughing while you say it. ... He lights up the screen and you can't take your eyes off of him. He is very funny in this movie. He has some classic one-liners and shows a lot of the "Dice" character in the Ford Fairlane character. - he also shows a side to Ford that has a heart of gold. The movie is very well made with a great soundtrack and it is full of all things "1990"- cameos by Popular music artists at the time, and some very funny jokes about the stars of that time. It is a fast paced film and it feels like you are watching a comic book- which is what this is all about. The story is basically Ford searching for a missing groupie and then discovers some shady things going on at a Record Company. Can't tell you anymore than that.
REMEMBER ONE THING- This film was released at the height of the controversy with DIce. ... Now I think a lot of critics and people in general see what a funny comedy this is- top notch entertainmaent. Rent it, buy it- enjoy it.
** Side Note- .........

Summary: The Best of the Worst
Review: The Adventures of Ford Fairlane has bad acting, superficial characters, and a plot that's...well...acceptable, and nothing more. So why did I give it four stars? Simple: Dice DRIVES this movie, and he cracks me up every time. I'll make it clear just in case you didn't get that insinuation. The only way you're going to like this movie is if you're a fan of Andrew Dice Clay. If you're not, don't even give this movie the time of day. Otherwise, this movie contains some of Dice's most quotable lines, and it's a must see.

Summary: A Classic`
Review: Dice Clay shows that he can act in Ford Fairlane. The story line is great and the lines that are used are great. Wayne Newton is also a plus and he adds so much to the movie. The car a 1957 Ford Fairlane Hard Top retractable is a great looking car and a classic, it adds spunk to the rock &roll P.I. . Robert( Freddy Kruger) plays a awsome sicko and he is quite interesting. Lauren Holly is great and she is hot. This is a must own for any Dice fan, or if you love a great story and great lines this film is for you. Enjoy!
