Low Down Dirty Shame, A (film) Andre Shame has been fired from the police force because of a botched drug bust, so he is now down on his luck, working as a private investigator, taking big risks for small rewards.

When he is retained by DEA agent Rothmiller to track down $20 million in missing drug money, he finds himself facing the notorious Ernesto Mendoza, the man he thought he killed in the failed drug raid. Now he has a chance to clear his name as well as shut down Mendoza’s illegal operations. Released on November 23, 1994. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans.
