Synopsis
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) — watch online this American action-comedy directed by Renny Harlin on iFILM. Andrew Dice Clay plays Ford Fairlane, a private eye who bills himself as the Rock 'n' Roll Detective and handles the kind of problems that only seem to happen when hair metal and money collide.
A DJ named Johnny Crunch hires Fairlane to track down a missing groupie called Zuzu Petals — then gets electrocuted live on air the same afternoon. A second client shows up asking about the same girl. Before long Fairlane is knee-deep in dead bodies, shady record executives and a media mogul played with maximum sleaze by Wayne Newton. The supporting cast includes Priscilla Presley, Ed O'Neill, and Robert Englund, all clearly enjoying themselves.
The picture bombed theatrically and drew genuinely hostile reviews, but it has since found a loyal audience that treats it as a dead-serious time capsule of LA rock culture at its loudest and most ridiculous. Harlin shoots it like a summer blockbuster; Clay plays it like a stand-up set with car chases attached. If that combination sounds appealing, stream The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) online on iFILM.
