Take a bit of Don Quixote, Trading Places, Risky Business and The Nutty Professor. Throw in Dan Ackroyd, Howard Hesseman and Fran Drescher.
And you have Dr Detroit.
A film that I think was most likely never released outside of the USA. Which is a shame as it has a good plot, good characters and good set pieces that drive the film well.
Combine some excellent 80's music, throw in pimps and James Brown for good measure and you have one of Dan's best films and this does not deserve to be as unknown as is it.
It has all the ingredients for a cult classic and really does deserve DVD release worldwide.
Dan plays a mild mannered college Professor who is chosen by Hesseman as his made-up partner Dr Detroit. Hesseman owes money to Mom, a big-time hood in his local city and has no intention of paying. So he creates Dr Detroit, his business partner who will pay Mom and skips town.
Leaving Dan to create Dr Detroit and look after the hookers and either pay off Mom or run her out of town.
This doesn't look dated for an 80's movie, it's well shot and was pretty funny. I highly recommend you watch it.
