What The Adventures of Ford Fairlane is
Hollywood. Christmas. A ringing telephone. Ford Fairlane, rock-and-roll detective, finds his swaggering world upended by two deaths. One, a stadium-showman's on-stage collapse. The other, a shock-jock's on-air electrocution just after hiring him. Renny Harlin's hyper-stylized action-comedy is a time-capsule of late 80s excess.
