A Low Down Dirty Shame is a 1994 action-comedy film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and starring Wayans, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Charles S. Dutton. The film follows Shame (Wayans), a former police officer turned private detective, as he is hired by a drug lord to retrieve $20 million in stolen drug money. Alongside his assistant, Peaches (Smith), Shame sets out on the dangerous mission, encountering a range of colorful characters along the way, including corrupt cops, mobsters, and drug dealers.
As Shame delves deeper into the case, he discovers that his own past is intertwined with the missing money, and he must reconcile his own demons as he works to solve the case. Meanwhile, he also reconnects with Angela (Salli Richardson), a former girlfriend who left him years earlier, and the two rekindle their romance while navigating the dangers of their shared history.
Throughout the film, Wayans infuses his signature brand of irreverent humor and physical comedy, while balancing it with moments of genuine tension and drama. The result is a film that deftly combines elements of action, comedy, and romance, and remains a cult classic today.
