| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Adventures of Ford Fairlane |
|---|
Ford Fairlane, Mr. Rock 'n' Roll Detective, is hired to locate a teenage groupie and soon finds himself in a major scam involving his childhood pal, now the most obnoxious asshole on the airwaves (Gilbert Gottfried), a filthy rich record executive (Wayne Newton) and a merciless hitman (Robert Englund). All-star cast, enough one-liners to fill a book and groovy soundtrack by Yello and Jimi Hendrix will have you rolling on the floor and dancing all night. UN-F***ING-BELIEVABLE!
