Comeuppance Reviews Alexander Grady Puckett (Heavener), Rubin (LHJ), Malox (DeVorkin), and Harry (Hegyes) are Vietnam vets from the local VA hospital, who are taken into the wilderness for a retreat. While there, an evil white supremacist, Mallerd (Glover) begins hunting them for sport. While in the midst of fighting for their lives as inadvertent pawns in this game of survival, Puckett gets separated from the group and runs into two women out camping. Rachel (Carson) and Libby (Brisebois) get to know him while he suffers from some kind of amnesia resulting from a fall. Thanks largely to Puckett's skills as a smooth serenader, Rachel falls for him, and now he really has something to fight for. So, recalling his old 'Nam training, and loading up with weaponry, Puckett goes after the baddies with a vengeance. But can he come back from the edge after going...KILL CRAZY? We've seen so many Heavener movies at this point, we feel like we know him. We've always been champions of his work, and as writer/director/musician/star, he shows he's more talented than a lot of his action brethren. Kill Crazy, thankfully, rewards us for the vigil we're always holding for Heavener. It's got a good pace, plenty of worthwhile moments, and is enjoyable entertainment tailor-made for the video store patrons of the day. For a low-budget actioner, it's hard to ask for much more.When the movie started we thought it was going to be a "Paintball Gone Wrong" (PGW), which we always look for, and the film as a whole does bear some similarities to the classic Master Blaster (1987), but then it becomes another Most Dangerous Game knockoff. But Heavener was able to tie in Vietnam vets into that scenario, which is at least somewhat original. While it's no Deadly Prey (1987), there's plenty of pleasure to be had in watching Heavener take his revenge(ner). Plus his song, "Soldier On the Run", prefigured his later tune, "Outlaw On the Run". We can't possibly accuse him of being out of ideas, as he generated more ideas than the normal B-movie star - you just have to know his style. Speaking of style, as stated earlier, his name in the movie is Alexander Grady Puckett. Evidently that's such a great name, he wears a shirt that says the word "Puckett" in big letters across the chest. It even has some pins attached, but we couldn't read what they say.In true 80's tradition (yes, we know the movie was released in '90 - things don't change that fast), there is the classic "comic relief fat guy", this time named Malox. Fan favorite LHJ is also here, but his star would shine brighter in his PM outings. Other standbys dutifully included here are the scenes of torture, and Heavener getting needlessly shirtless. The funny moments, whether intentional or not, help keep Kill Crazy afloat, and, in actuality, make this one of the best Heavener movies we've seen to date.Released by the great VHS label Media, Kill Crazy is an experience we very much enjoyed.

Scott_Mercer The Most Dangerous Game meets Rambo via One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Now, those are all good films, (yes, even Rambo), so that might give you the impression I was intimating this was also a good film.Well, you would be wrong. Not good, but definitely entertaining. But for all the wrong reasons.This is a hilarious low-budget actioner, to be enjoyed while in the thrall of a few adult beverages. The plot is quite minimal: insane asylum inmates are hijacked in the woods for a real life hunt by lowlife scum. Quadruple-threat (writes, directs, stars, composes/sings the title theme song) David Heavener (and I chose the word "threat" carefully) is a budget Rambo fighting and killing to save the noble loons. There's even an A-Team type "Time to Weld" sequence. Best quote: "When you kill a man, you better make sure he's dead." A few items not mentioned by the other commenters that add to the film's allure: Not one, but TWO former Sweathogs (that's from the TV show Welcome Back Kotter, you young'uns), Washington and Epstein. (What, you thought Travolta was in this thing????) DJ and voice over legend Gary Owens has a very brief role. And, most importantly, Danielle Brisebois is topless. In the water. That will surely attract some additional viewers to this lovable mess.I would suggest an amazing double feature: this film first, then followed by the best/worst Die Hard rip off ever lensed, Anna Nicole Smith in Skyscraper. You'll thank me later, as long you continue drinking throughout both films. You'll need to.

johannesderwald i bought this movie for $0.99 for my best friend in the used VHS bin at a local Blockbuster, and I don't know if I could have spent my 99 cents any more poorly. Well, I recant. This movie has provided my friends and me with an endless source of laughter, amusement, and sheer pleasure over the years. I must say, this movie is well worth your time. The soundtrack is inspirational; the special effects, particularly the authentic combat structures, such as pillboxes and springboards, are breathtaking, to say the least, and the plot will make even the best of men quiver with awe and Angst. The "Action Star of the 90s" does not cease to demonstrate his nocuous eptitude. It is supremely difficult to put into words the existential, dermatological, and lexicographical euphoria which sets in upon one's consciousness after having viewed this film.

Dismenot No spoiler, No need, Movie spoiled by Heavener when he wrote the thing. I wanted to see it, because a friend at work said it was good, I now suspect that same friend thinks that "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is a classic. What a waste of 2 hours, but I guess I knew I was in trouble when I read the back of the video cassette box, ie: Directed by, Written by, Music composed by, and Lead Actor is....Guess who? Heavener. Egomaniacs seldom make good movies, and this is no exception. I have seen a lot of movies with the Writer/Director the same person that were awesome! But 2 good example's came to me right away, George Lucas knew that some one else should play Luke Skywalker, and Steven Spielberg didn't think HE would play a better ET. It looks like Mr. Heavener tried to make a "Rambo" movie with "feeling", that was a mistake, it's been done already, THAT movie was called...Guess what? Rambo. This movie had no "Heart" for our vietnam vet's, it portray's them as weak sniveling dope-smoking crybabies, and I found that part of it very insulting, however...... There was one point in the movie that Mr Heavener did PERFECTLY! It was at the the end, when he was singing the song he wrote, and as I listened to the word's.. "Is it over now? I hope it's over now!" I looked at the tape counter on my VCR, and I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. dismenot
