About This Movie / Film
A Low Down Dirty Shame is a high-octane action-comedy released on November 23, 1994, written and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Produced by Hollywood Pictures and Caravan Pictures, the film stars Keenen Ivory Wayans as Andre Shame, a former LAPD detective turned private investigator. After a botched sting operation years prior led to his disgrace, Shame is pulled back into the fray by his old partner, Charles S. Dutton (as Rothmiller), to track down a drug lord thought to be dead and recover $15 million in stolen cash.
The film is widely celebrated for the breakout comedic performance of Jada Pinkett Smith, who plays Peaches, Shame's energetic and fiercely loyal assistant. Salli Richardson appears as Angela, Shame's former flame whose ties to the villainous Andrew Divoff (Mendoza) complicate the mission. Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures, the movie became a cult classic of 1990s Black cinema, blending the aesthetic of the blaxploitation era with modern urban action. With a hit soundtrack featuring Jive Records artists, A Low Down Dirty Shame remains a definitive example of the Wayans family's influence on Hollywood during the decade.
