If I told you that their was a certain movie that featured Gilbert Gottfried, Wayne Newton, Ed O’Neil, Lauren Holly, Priscilla Presley, Tone Loc, Vince Neil, Morris Day, Andrew Dice Clay and that weird guy who played Freddie Krueger would you call me a liar?

It’s almost inconceivable that one movie could offer so much talent.

Well, the comedic gem that I am talking about is the overlooked classic The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Even though it was bashed by critics when it made its onscreen debut in 1990, I am in no way ashamed to admit that this movie is my favorite comedy of all time. Granted, Ford Fairlane is not the funniest movie, but it is my favorite because it is unbelievably original and full of fantastic, quotable one-liners.

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane definitely deserves a second look. The movie is about a Rock ‘n’ Roll Detective named Ford Fairlane (Clay), (see you are already interested by Rock ‘n’ Roll Detective) who must uncover the truth about a murder in the music industry. Andrew Dice Clay’s portrayal as the coolest guy in town is an absolute laugh riot. A great soundtrack, beautiful women, a sharp script and the ultimate supporting cast are just a few reasons why everyone needs to rediscover Andrew Dice Clay’s finest hour, 90 minutes.

If you offend easily, after all it is “The Diceman,” then this movie is not for you. However, if you are up for a fun filled spectacle then The Adventures of Ford Fairlane might just be your type of stupid comedy.
