Nothing but Trouble (1991)

While attempting to seduce gorgeous lawyer Diane Lightson, wealthy gadabout Chris Thorne agrees to drive her to Atlantic City, N.J. But, when some reckless driving draws the attention of a deeply critical cop, they and the flamboyant "Brazillionaires" who tagged along end up in the court of a grotesque and vengeful judge, who has a special vendetta against the wealthy and erudite.

The highest praise Dan Aykroyd ever received was when Eric Idle said that of all the comic actors he's worked with Aykroyd was the only one worthy of being in Monty Python. Watching the first season of Saturday Night Live it's easy to see why he merits such hyperbolic praise. Before Phil Hartman and Will Ferrell, Aykroyd functioned as the comic glue that held Saturday Night Live together. Beyond his tongue-twisting virtuosity Aykroyd was an insanely versatile performer who could play any role and made every skit he appeared in better. When reading an oral history of John Belushi I was struck that the cast and crew of SNL viewed the loss of Aykroyd as a much bigger blow to the show than Belushi's departure. Everyone knew Belushi was gone as soon as Animal House became a phenomenon but Aykroyd seemed like a guy who could happily toil in the trenches of sketch comedy for at least a few more years.

Actor Dan Aykroyd made his directorial debut with this bizarre comic fantasy. Financier Chris Thorne (Chevy Chase) hopes to impress beautiful Diane Lightson (Demi Moore), so he invites her along for a trip to Atlantic City, with a pair of wealthy Brazilians, Fausto (Taylor Negron) and Renalda (Bertila Damas) tagging along for the ride. After running a stop sign in a small town just off the New Jersey turnpike, Chris and his friends are pulled over and arrested by a motorcycle cop named Denis (John Candy). The travellers are brought before J.P. (Aykroyd), the ancient and vindictive Justice of the Peace in the very strange village of Valkevania, where minor traffic offenses are usually punished by torture or death. While Fausto and Renalda are able to escape, Chris and Diane find themselves trapped in a bizarre underground maze in which fellow tourists like themselves must fight for their lives. Keep an eye peeled for the screen debut of Tupac Shakur, who appears as a member of the rap group Digital Underground.
