Dirt In The Gate Movies Presents GRINDFEST – THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE (1990) - [35mm]

Directed by Renny Harlin
Starring Andrew Dice Clay, Wayne Newton, Priscilla Presley, Robert Englund

1990 | 104m | USA | (15) | 2.35:1 | Dolby Stereo

“Have a twinkie, snapperhead.”

The fast-paced and often seamy world of rock 'n' roll is his beat, but even detective Ford Fairlane is stunned when the king of shock-jocks, Johnny Crunch, is electrocuted live on air. After all, Crunch was his only paying client! Crunch had hired Ford to track down a mysterious teenage groupie named Zuzu Petals - a search which quickly finds Ford tangled up, and trading insults, with a ruthless record executive and merciless hitman.

The DITG team are thrilled to screen this from an original 35mm print in the UK!

Introduced by Rebecca Nicole Williams aka The Celluloid Sorceress. Ticket Information Single ticket: £14.50 Included in Grindfest Festival Pass: Click here to purchase
