A Low Down Dirty Shame is a 1994 American action comedy film written, directed, and starring Keenen Ivory Wayans.

He runs it with his energetic and talkative assistant Peaches, whom he arrested shoplifting six years earlier and to whom he has developed a slight attraction.

Five years ago, Shame and a team of detectives traveled to Mexico to apprehend drug lord, Ernesto Mendoza.

He hires Shame to find the only witness who would testify against him...his ex-girlfriend Angela, who was caught in the middle of a love triangle with the two men.

With the help of Peaches and her homosexual roommate Wayman, Shame tracks Angela to a posh hotel, and calls Sonny.

Shame meets Angela at a storage locker and discovers the real reason Mendoza wants her dead: she stole $20 million of his money.

At a motel Shame receives a call from Mendoza informing him he has kidnapped Peaches and will exchange her for Angela and his money.

Nunez threatens to arrest Shame, but Shame reminds Nunez that he helped take down a drug lord, identified Sonny as the DEA mole, found a federal witness on the run (Angela, who is lead away in handcuffs for her crimes), and recovered $15 million in stolen drug money.

The website's critics consensus reads: "A trifecta of failure for writer-director-star Keenen Ivory Wayans, A Low Down Dirty Shame lives repeatedly and resolutely down to its title.
