I was never much a fan of Andrew Dice Clay's stand up routine but I FUCKING LOVE this movie. It came out when I was 12 and I think that was the perfect age to see it. This, along with Total Recall, were some of the last bastions of entertainment marketed to adults, filled with gratuitous sex, violence, swearing, rampaging racism, sexism and homophobia.
If you were to admit you like this movie in polite society today, soccer moms, gays and white guilt liberals would cut your fucking balls off and regard you like a leper. I myself am a lefty liberal type but unlike those delusional hand holding, kumbaya singing bastards, I know that people deep down love violent and despicable filth but would never admit it. Don’t kid yourself, society today isn’t less violent, sexist, racist or homophobic, people are just better at hiding it.
So let us revel in our inner knuckle dragger and show some love for The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Apart from the sex, violence and un-PC humor, there is Lauren Holly looking insanely fucking hot! Renny Harlan coming off A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, bringing with him Freddy Kruger himself, Robert Englund, as a Cockney hitman. Filling out the rest of the cast are Priscilla Presley and Wayne Fucking Newton as the bad guy not to mention Gilbert Gottfried, David Patrick Kelly and Ed O’Neill along with Kari Wuher and Pamela Adlon in early roles.
Trivia note; the twin sisters that Fairlane bangs at the beginning of the film also starred together in the first episode of Freddy’s Nightmares with Englund.
So many assholes, so few bullets.
