Customer Reviews

Not as advertised -- and I can't take it Bach!
Its DVD packaging claims that CRAZED "features a fully nude lesbian scene between Daisy Duke herself Catherine Bach and critically acclaimed character actress Leslie Caron." I don't know how you define "fully nude," but I would say it means ...duh...full nudity, not mere toplessness. CRAZED, which is being sold on the basis of this non-existent scene, not only lacks the promised full nudity from Bach -- *nobody* at all is fully naked. Furthermore, *there is no lesbian love scene at all* between any characters in this film! Troma, right on the package, says that "because of this notorious scene, CRAZED has become one of the most sought-after movies on the cult-film circuit!" What scene?! There is one small bit featuring Bach and Caron in a bedroom, but it cuts away while they are *fully-clothed*. In another, Bach is only topless, and only for a few seconds. There is no "notorious scene" in CRAZED -- only notoriously bad picture quality, the likes of which Troma has become known for, when it comes to the older films they unapologetically slap on DVD with little respect for the source material or customer. A more quality-cognizant company would explain on the package that the film was mastered from a poor print, so the buyer knows what he's (not)getting. Troma has released some fun films of its own in pristine condition, but the vast majority of its "golden oldies" look like they were pulled out of Lloyd Kaufman's toilet. In CRAZED, there is a glitch or two in the picture that makes it look like a used video tape (which seems to have been the source). Unfortunately, DVDs are one of the few goods for which the misled consumer has no recourse. Once you open a DVD, no store will take it back on the basis of not-as-stated. Is that fair? What if you bought a dozen eggs and the carton contained 10? What if you purchased an "antique" that was sold to you on the basis of being 100 years old, but it was only a replica? I work hard for my money (never meaning to quote Donna Summer), and I resent the false claims made by Troma for CRAZED. Either Troma doesn't verify what's written on its own DVD packages or it knowingly misleads buyers with false promises of non-existent scenes just to part them with a couple of ten-dollar bills. It's a shame, because the movie itself is an arty erotic curio that would otherwise be worth owning.

don't get fooled !
Its not a skin flick by any standards! Not worth watching even otherwise. Its a waste of time and money. See the amazon dvd reviews for this, the picture quality problem is also there as in the dvds. (not that better picture quality would have made it worthwhile)

Crazed is fuzzy
This is a good film, but unfortunately, the picture quality of the dvd is not what we have come to expect. The picture is fuzzy and looks like it was copied from a poor video tape.

Leslie Caron looks as radiant and beautiful as ever. It's too bad the images are not sharp and clear.
