***SPOILERS*** Signature role for the "Ice Man" Andrew Dice Clay as Mr. Rock & Roll Detective Ford Fairlane the coolest cat on the Sunset Strip. It's when Fairlane gets involved in the mysterious death of rock superstar Bobby Black, Vince Neil, who literately dropped dead on the stage that he uncovers what kinds of double dealing and back stabbing has been going on in the record music industry since the days when multi-billion dollar contract for rock performers, like Bobby Black, came into existence back in the late 1960's.
Checking out mostly Bobby Black groupies who were at the scene of the crime, his last concert, it becomes very evident that Black was slipped a fatal cocktail of drugs and alcohol just before he made his grand appearance by him swinging Tarzan style on the stage. The first tip on what caused Bobby's death, or murder, was the mystery woman Colleen Sutton, Priscilla Presley, who came to see Fairlane about a totally unrelated matter. Colleen wants Fairlane to track down groupie ZuZu Peddles, Maddie Corman, who seems, even though Colleen doesn't quite say it, to be her kid sister. It's when Fairlane connects the missing ZuZu Pettles to his friend disk jockey Johnny Crunch, Gilbert Gottfried, who claims she's his runaway daughter that he smalls a rat and that rat leads all the way to top Hollywood music record producer Mr. "Money Bags" himself Julian Grendel played by Wayne Newton.
Black had somehow hacked into Grendel personal computer and found out he's been short changing him and all the other rock performers who record for his record label in cooking the books on them in what hey made in record earnings over the years. This had Grendel get as much as 95% of the profits of rock stars like Black by drastically lowering the take, ticket sales, that they took in their concerts as well as who many records they sold!
***SPOILERS*** Andrew Dice Clay gets to strut his stuff as Mr. Rock & Roll Detective Ford Fairlane with his 1950's greaser look and off color sexual, mostly about women and gays, jokes but also show he's a sensitive and helpful guy with a heart of gold when he has to be. Despite his crudeness and boorishness Fairland does in fact get the job done even if he ends up making an a** of himself by doing it.
The mad as a hatter Julian Grended has been covering his tracks in murdering anyone who got in his way by exposing his grand scheme of destroying his own record company by stealing the profits of his performers. Grendel's string of murders didn't end with Bobby Black but also included his lover and partner in crime the mysterious Colleen Sutton as well as disk jockey Johnny Crunch. In fact it was Crunch's murder, at his radio station, that cued Fairlane in on Grendel which lead to his ultimate downfall. That together with the only person alive who could finger him ZuZu Peddles who in the end, by secretly planting a microphone on him, had Grendel himself do himself in! That's by telling the thousands of Rock fans listening in on his what Grandel thought was a secret conversation, provided by ZuZu Peddles, in just how moronic they are and how little he thought of both them and their brainless music!
