Having succeeded with a semi-dramatic turn in Walter Hill's 48 HRS, his brash, foul-mouthed and fast-talking, street-smart humor now translated into what's possibly Landis's greatest mainstream venture, ironically released sixteen-days before the infamously tragic TWILIGHT ZONE movie...

Scott plays a straight-laced, Midwestern business-owner with an innocent daughter who, on a church trip from hometown Grand Rapids, Michigan to Southern California, goes missing and, desperate, following a by-the-numbers lecture from the police, he hires a street-smart, so he says, quirky and blunt L.A. Private Eye...Enter Peter Boyle, who literally proves that his client's runaway daughter is a porn actress, resulting in an intense scene from Scott that few actors could get away with, or would even attempt attempting in the first place: One that's now an online punchline, although it's not that funny... for the character, who we later follow around the seedy So Cal nightlife as if he were a Film Noir snoop... which he turns into, somewhat...

 completely into playing a total goofball since, after four gorgeous 
limo-riding hookers spot his ultra-nerdy college professor Clifford 
Skridrow power-walking in an obviously rehearsed/notably overboard 
fashion, they can't quit noting how cute and even sexy he is, thus 
marking Dan's first stand-alone leading role following the tragic death of 
legendary comedy-partner John Belushi... Basically a NUTTY PROFESSOR alter-ego theme, foreshadowing Aykroyd's 
forgettable THE COUCH TRIP in that an otherwise average dolt wields 
conveniently miraculous traits of an improvisational performer yet here,
 Clifford feels idealistically motivated to save those hookers 
(including future trophy wife Donna Dixon and mouthy Fran Drescher) from
 encroachment by viciously monopolizing Kate Murtaugh after their own 
flashy pimp Howard Hesseman, owing tons of money and driving the film's 
entire first act (while literally being driven by T.K. Carter), heads for the hills...

Then he became more confident behind the lens for big budget catchall mainstream flicks like BACKDRAFT, and therein the Emperor was naked to the bone...

Wedged in-between Howard's Roger Corman car crash vehicle GRAND THEFT AUTO and his hit phenom SPLASH, NIGHT SHIFT is one of the most original and unique buddy comedies of all time...
