Mad Dog Time (1996)

Richard Dreyfuss heads an all-star cast in this wickedly funny crime comedy that explodes with rapid-fire wit and deadly double-crosses. It's a wonderfully warped glimpse of the criminal underworld, where insanity reigns and the barbs and bullets fly. Dreyfuss is Vic, a mob boss who's crazy. Literally. After his release from a mental hospital, he returns to find that his organization is crumbling and no wonder! With friends like his, who needs enemies? There's Mickey Holiday (Jeff Goldblum), the hired gun whose lightning-fast hands have been all over Vic's girlfriend (Diane Lane); Ben London(Gabriel Byrne), the slow-witted goon who sees himself replacing Vic as the gang's mastermind (evenif no one else can see it); and the luscious Rita (Ellen Barkin), a bombshell who could detonate atany moment. Vic struggles to 'restore the balance, but as he sorts through the myriad of loopy schemes against him, one thing becomes clear: he may be the only one who isn't crazy! With appearancesby Gregory Hines, Burt Reynolds and Kyle MacLachlan, Trigger Happy is a comedy masterwork! (American Urban Radio Networks).

Mad Dog Time

This is a fun film that was released to relative obscurity, but is a hidden gem. The film centers on the events surrounding a mob boss who is getting out of the looney bin and all of the power plays surrounding him. Great acting by the entire cast. The director does an excellent job of building a quirky mob world filled with great characters such as Sleepy Joe and Brass Balls Ben London. This movie has been released under two titles even here in the states, I have a copy of the vhs under the other title which was Trigger Happy. Ironically both titles come from the same line in the movie. This is one of my top picks for those who like mobster movies, funny movies or movies that are just plain fun. Actors include, Jeff Goldblum in one of his best roles, Richard Dreyfuss and Gabriele Byrn to name a few but it is a large ensemble cast and has many cameos including Angie Everhart, Burt Reynolds, and even Richard Pryor. Check this one out and enjoy. December 18, 2007

The Stuff Cult Films Are Made Of

1996's MADS DOG TIME is quirky fun. This little hoodlum black comedy is the stuff cult films are made of. Unorthodox at best, this film contains a great cast and very interesting characters. The cast truly is fantastic including Richard Dreyfuss, Gabriel Byrne, Jeff Goldblum, Burt Reynolds, Henry Silva, Joey Bishop, Diane Lane, Ellen Barkin, Kyle MacLachlan, Michael J. Pollard, Richard Pryor, Paul Anka, Gregory Hines and the long lost enigmatic Christopher Jones not seen since RYAN'S DAUGHTER. Larry Bishop produced, directed and wrote this wild screenplay. The more you watch it, the more you see. Highly underrated.

Sexy

This is one of the sexiest movies around. The characters are bigger than life. If you like the old Rat Pack movies with Frank, Dean and the gang then you'll love this. The scene with Billy Idol and Jeff Goldblum is hilarious. March 23, 2006
