The best video transfer to dvd yet, but why only a mono soundtrack??? Brion James's last scene is also heavily edited. A real shame it couldn't have been given the treatment it deserved. Despite this, it's a real classic and I purchased it again even though I have the NTSC unedited version. I love this movie.

I never tire of watching this brilliant comedy. It's about a businessman who hires a couple of rat exterminators to murder his business partner. This they pull off, but later they accidentally kill the man who hired them !! So they frame a hapless employee for the murder, played by Reed Birney.

It's totally over the top & wacky. And it's directed by Sam Raimi, who made the EVIL DEAD trilogy. Raimi's style of film making is bold & highly watchable. Just watch as Bruce Campbell blows a puff of cigarette smoke, & it turns into a curvy woman doing a dance !! This is laugh out loud stuff.

Feeling under the weather & fed up with the world ?? Then watch Crimewave. It's a great cure for depression !!!

A cult classic in waiting

A film directed by Sam Raimi and written by the Coen brothers?
Surely it can't get any better.
I love this film and I'm surprised it hasn't been available on DVD before.
Don't be put off by the awful cover. This film is cartoon, yes, but is dynamic, well acted and best of all absolutely hilarious.
It is or should be a cult classic.
Full of memorable lines including the chat up line "would you like to have some lunch some evening?" which crops up again in Spider-man.
The music is amazing, drawing on cartoon music, and the sound effects are good too - I'm sure I recognise quite a few making their first outing in The Evil Dead.
Very very highly recommended.
