Crimewave (The XYZ Murders, 1985)

"I'd call you a heel!"

"So, I'm a heel. So, what of it? Who are you?"

"Maybe I'm just a guy who hates heels."

"Maybe I'm a heel who hates guys who hate heels."

Raimi and Campbell and the Coens were young independent filmmakers suddenly working within a major studio system and it #was a bad time had by all; nativity played a part‚ but there was also difficult cast members‚ escalating costs‚ producer interference‚ and #Louise Lasser's industrial coke habit. the result as i say is the bastard child no member of crew or cast would care to acknowledge but as #a viewer? actually this is nowhere near as bad as its reputation. a goofy mix of noir and looney tunes visuals‚ broad slapstick with a #(sometimes) sparkling script‚ Bruce Campbell (relegated from the lead on studio orders‚ so Raimi beefed up a supporting role for him) in #full lounge lizard mode and having a ball with the part. filming may have been a nightmare and post production worse‚ but the legend has #kind of got away from this; it really is pretty good in places. There are glimpses of Raimi's vision and the Coen's voices here and that #alone makes this an artefact worthy of interest!#at its best in a cartoonesque fight scene between Lasser and Smith which follows Looney Tunes logic and outlandish sound fx #that should read naivety not nativity 🙄

While the Three Stooges have endured, the rest of the many two-reel comedy shorts made by the same department at Columbia Studios have all but been forgotten. For a comedy historian, these lost cogs in the long history of comedy are a real goldmine.
