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 shock-jock (
Gilbert Gottfried), and the kidnapping of the jock's daughter (
Maddie Corman). Music stars like
Sheila E. and
Motley Crue singer
Vince Neil also have cameos in the film, which attempts to transplant Clay's aggressively obnoxious stage persona into a movie environment. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide
