The Adventures of Ford Fairlane woof! Ford Fairlane 1990 (R)

The Diceman plays an unusual detective specializing in rock 'n' roll cases. When a heavy metal singer dies on stage, he takes the case in his own inimitable fashion, pursuing buxom gals, sleazy record executives, and even his ex-wife. Not surprisingly, many of his stand-up bits are worked into the movie. Clay, the ever-so-controversial comic in his first (and likely last) starring role haplessly sneers his way through this rock 'n' roll dud of a comedy thriller. A quick effort to cash in on Clay's fading star. Forget about it. 101m/C VHS, DVD . Andrew (Dice Clay) Silverstein, Wayne Newton, Priscilla Presley, Morris Day, Lauren Holly, Maddie Corman, Gilbert Gottfried, David Patrick Kelly, Brandon Call, Robert Englund, Ed O'Neill, Sheila E, Kari Wuhrer, Tone Loc; D: Renny Harlin; W: David Arnott, Daniel Waters, James Cappe. Golden Raspberries '90: Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Silverstein), Worst Screenplay.
