For some reason 20th Century Fox released The Adventures of Ford Fairlane directed by Renny Harlin and starring Andrew Dice Clay, on this date. The film was both a commercial and critical failure.
Billy Idol was cast as Smiley, but had to pull out of the role after a nearly-fatal motorcycle accident. Renny Harlin personally asked Robert Englund, who had previously worked with him on A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, to take over the role after Idol’s accident.
