That thing is funny as hell, almost pure propaganda... I love it so much. It's on Showtime On Demand. I love the beginning warning about weed, I was reading the part where it says "It slows down time, almost makes it stand still" or something like that and my friend (high off his ass) goes "Dude..... this is taking so long to start." Good day.
beware, the new version is a MUSICAL based on the original movie! I saw one short clip, and heard a verse of a song, and was reminded of a bad Little Shoppe of Horrors rip off. This has been a classic since the 70s, and must have been really fun to make, even in the 1930s. But I havent a clue what the actors in Reefer Madness did afterwards! Still a funny flick to watch, and should get the award for worst movie performance in a political lie. But it isnt as strange as Terror In Tinytown!
The original Reefer Madness is completely insane. I love it. I've got the DVDs of the original B&W version and also the Colorized "Special Addiction" version from last year. I must have watched it 100 times over the years and it still cracks me up. If youve never seen it be patient for about the first 10 minutes. It takes a while to get going , but when it does it's crazy. The whole movie has this strange surreal quality to it. The guy who played Ralph Wiley was in a lot of B movies in the 30s, 40, and 50s and directed a bit too. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0639495/ The girl who played "Mary" had a career in B's in the 30s & 40's as well. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0795044/ The guy who played Bill Harper didnt make another movie after Reefer Madness.. not surprising when you think how bad an actor he was... My favourite character was Mae... Thelma White played her and she lived to the ripe old age of 94 before passing away in January this year.. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0925509/ You can watch Reefer Madness in it's entirety for free on RealPlayer at http://thesync.com/features/
it was pretty funny. The maniacal laughter, the tragedy - i never realised pot was so horrific. Luckily there are films like this to show the way to the young and misguided
