Did you know
- TriviaShame tells the bodyguard/thug "say hello to Arnold for me" before hitting him with the gun. Sven-Ole Thorsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger knew each other from bodybuilding competitions, and Schwarzenegger introduced Thorsen to the movie business. Thorsen has appeared on-screen in nine Schwarzenegger movies, and has done stunts and training for actors and stuntmen in many others.

Featured review
An Underrated Action Comedy
Plot: A black detective becomes embroiled in a web of danger while searching for a fortune in missing drug money. During the course of his investigation, he encounters various old connections, ultimately confronting the criminal responsible for Shame's expulsion from the force. He must also deal with two women, Angela, a beautiful old flame, and Peaches, his energetic but annoying sidekick.
This is easily my favorite Keenan Ivory Wayans directed film. This combines action and comedy very well within its story. The cast all play their roles very well, especially Keenan and Jada Pinkett Smith who delivers some of the funniest lines of the movie. The jokes don't feel forced and help drive the story forwarded unlike a lot of comedies these days who like to repeat the same joke over and over again. I wish more comedies nowadays were more like this.
Overall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is a very underrated action comedy that delivers on the laughs, action, and has s good straight forwarded story That holds its own. Check this out if you haven't seen it, you will not regret it.
