This film is the perfect comedy/action film of its era! This film is absolutely perfect in every way! Andrew dice Clay is perfect in the part. The writing is excellent. The acting is good. The comic timing is impeccable. Everything works! The music is fantastic. Lauren holly is gorgeous! Clay is in his prime, and at his peak. Everything about this film is perfect! Wayne Newton as the bad guy, is great. Ed O'Neal is great. People want to hate on Clay, but he was the most popular comedian at the time! He literally was a rock star of comedy! I highly recommend this movie! It is like the perfect snapshot of the late 80's/early 90's.

i love the movie i watch it 20 times threw out the year i was growing up before digital cable became a icon on TV.i love ford fair lane only because he was play a detective in a comedy try to pay his debt to satiate just like and cop on the beat. i alway wondered if he would make a squeal and find another director to make another movie if he could make the time also the actor that played ford fair lane was one of a thousand male or female actor to play the role of good cop bad cop and up hold the law. getting to the point would ford fair lane be able to compete or star as a stand in on law and order s v unit to come and be able to follow a script like Benson and stabler and maybe investigate sex crimes or be there for new york finest and make a difference. anyway i don't remember to much about the movie but i no that close to the end just like new year eve ford fair lane blow es up a building because it was the type of seen they wore shooting for him. anyway i don't no if ford fair lane would go on law and order but maybe one day people will remember him for what he was like when he finish high school and went his own way and took get a job to pay bills and make a living like anybody else in and on this planet earth. also i would like to add i would like if it was possible to get ford fair lane auto graft and share cooking recipe and maybe ask him to be a friend on face-book or twitter.

This movie is one of my favorite from my high school area- we quoted a lot of it's phrases since.Of course I was watching it Hungarian dubbed at that time but I think that was for the better. This is one of the rare cases when I say I prefer this version more. The voice act for Ford was done by one famous Hungarian rock musician (Feró Nagy) who was the same attitude and even more hoarse voice.I even liked the story and the gags - this movie has a re-watch value for me. Acting is pretty good as well so if you like the mood and the hair of the 80's along some good music- watch this movie.One last thing: Respect to Jimi Hendrix :-)

Poor Dice Clay. Critics hated this movie. All in all, it was a lot of fun to watch! At the time he was considered very controversial, so people seemed to purposely judge the movie too harsh. I'm surprised it didn't do that well at the box office. Commercials were all over the place for the movie. I think it even won worst picture of the year! Worse than Ghost Dad? Come on! There must be other flicks from 1990 worse than Ford Fairlane! Dice was on everyone's hit list, and by the time the movie came out, critics probably feared praising the movie. Even MTV wasn't a fan of the Dice Man! After this movie flopped, you didn't really hear too much about Dice Clay. I've watched this movie over and over again. Great cast and a lot of fun!
