"Mom, I am going to rip off your head and sh!t down your neck." – Clifford, as Doctor Detroit, to the mob boss

Why watch this? This is hands-down Aykroyd's funniest solo film. 

Plot Summary: Meek professor Clifford Skridlow is conned by a pimp into taking on the persona of "Doctor Detroit" to handle a debt owed to a powerful mob boss called "Mom". Suddenly, Skridlow finds himself entangled in the chaotic and dangerous world of the Chicago underworld, all while trying to maintain his normal life and protect the women involved. He must balance his two identities to navigate the hilarious situations and avoid the wrath of Mom.

Dad's Preview: This little-known film is a real gem in Dan Aykroyd's filmography. He plays a nerdy college professor who unwittingly becomes involved with a group of gorgeous prostitutes in need of a pimp for protection. He takes on a fictitious persona called "Doctor Detroit". You will be surprised at how funny the comedy bits are here. I was. Incidentally, Dan met his future wife, Donna Dixon who portrays Monica, while filming.
