IRS agents send a private eye (Dylan McDermott) to Mexico to recover money laundered by a banker (Jessica Harper) and her sidekick (James Russo).
Roger Ebert gave The Blue Iguana a negative review and described it as "a smart-aleck parody of private-eye movies, but it knows as little about private eyes as it does about parodies, and movies".[2]
