Plot: Comic Andrew Dice Clay stars as a private investigator trying to make sense of a rash of murders that has left a string of music-industry victims in its wake. The most recent casualty: a disc jockey (...( read more read more... )Gilbert Gottfried) with a penchant for verbal attacks. It's no surprise, then, that there's a long list of suspects with a beef against him in director Renny Harlin's pull-no-punches comedy. Wayne Newton, Lauren Holly and Priscilla Presley co-star.

    soooooo bad in the '89-'90 fashion sense, but goddamn is Lauren Holly so effin hot in this one.
    Dice's 15 minutes expired right after this film. still, the best surviving relic of this film is Billy Idol's [i]Cradle of Love[/i]

    Utter trash.....

    Quite how this flick got greenlit is beyond me. Another example of a vanity project for a guy who wasn't that funny in the first place.

    The dialogue is lousy, the acting terrible and the way that the story is told is just lazy. I guess if you are a fan of the diceman then you may enjoy this, but personally all I saw was a big mess. Even having Morris Day in a supporting role coudln't save this...

    I remember seeing this when it was finally released on video in the U.K., which took a while to happen. It's gloriously bad! The acting's dire, the script's terrible, Renny Harlin must have been asleep or drunk throughout the shoot... and I love it!

    Two words. "Disco Express."
    Ford Fairlane: Disco Express? They blew dog. And that lead singer, he kinda looked like...
    Lt. Amos: Like ME, right?
    Ford Fairlane: Yeah. I was gonna say he looked like shit, but... he looked like you.

    fun, empty-headed comedy; attempting to be a loving homage to the tough-talking private-eyes of the 40's and 50's, with some Elvis thrown in.

    Came out at the height of the Diceman's popularity. More a comedy than anything else. I mean, C'mon, Wayne Newton as the bad guy?

    It's such a dumb movie but I have fond memories of trying to talk and sound like Dice in junior high.

    Raunchy and funny and distinctly 1990. It is everything I love to watch, and pray that I never have to re-live.

    A massive guilty pleasure. The one film that actually compliments Renny Harlin's bombastic, vacuous directing style. A perfect, once-in-a-lifetime role for Andrew Dice Clay. He should've given film up after this.

    A funny and very underrated film from 1990. the controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay stars as Ford Fairlane, a detective investigating a murder. A cool film with a great cast like Lauren Holly, Wayne Newton, Robert Englund, David Patrick Kelly.

    Hilarious, if you don't like Andrew then don't watch it. I love his comedy, it is just so out there and rude, but he puts it in a funny way. I liked it when I watched it way back in 1990. LoL, I was just a kid.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

    This was a fun movie...but it left much to be desired...I'd rate this a 2...but Lauren Holly is in this movie too and I went to high school with her, so I am being nice and giving this movie 3 stars instead of 2 stars!! lol

    I love this movie. Nobody plays a Grade A asshole like the "Diceman". If you grew up in the 80's and early 90's, you just can't help but laugh at this one.

    If a movie can be rated on its success in what it wants to accomplish, then Ford fairlane is a ten. It is rude, crude, WAY over the top, action packed, and sunningly obnoxious. If you ever wondered what the Fonz would be like in an action movie, with a foul mouth, check this out. Also- tasteless as hell ( a car chase...in a graveyard...with a busty corpse...classic!)
