Movie Info

Controversial and often offensive stand-up comedian Andrew Dice Clay made his debut as a feature film star in this crude comedy. Fairlane is a "rock and roll detective" who works in the music business, has an office on Sunset Boulevard, and drives a 1957 Ford, with clothing to match. He floats through the rock clubs of Hollywood, picking up women and clients, and soon stumbles into a case involving the death of a heavy metal singer, a corrupt music executive (Wayne Newton), the murder of a radio

R, 1 hr. 41 min.

It's harmless fun with a breezy '80s ambiance -- a neon playground with a cross-eyed soundtrack, smoky widescreen cinematography, and a cool snapshot of Dice when he was king of the world.

It's bad, it's been forgotten, and we can all move on with nary a second thought.

As vulgar and obnoxious as its star. One of the very worst films of 1990.

Pretty bad, but Dice Clay's best effort.

Look at the star. Look at the director. See something else.

Gets stale after a while, but Dice was still pretty funny.

Nice try but no dice.

Funny in a south side of Chicago neighborhood kind of way, but not much more than his stand-up act.
