The 2-Disc Miniature Edition was purchased impulsively on its street date release, after I saw it staring at me on a shelf at a local retailer. Having greatly enjoyed Rabid, The Brood, Videodrome, and Smash, I had long been appealing to gape Stereo and Crimes of the Future. Yet having picked it up for Cronenberg’s two early features, I was watching Speedy Company for the sixth time on Saturday night of that same week.
Phil Adamson (John Saxon) : You know you’re out of your goddamn mind, Johnson. You’re out of your mind, and you’re over-the-hill. First you turn my trailer into a goddamn whorehouse, now it’s an insane asylum!
John Saxon’s villainy as the FastCo oil company obtain is hilarious. Aside from the wonderfully written dialogue, his facial expressions and gestures are extraordinary. Lonnie “Lucky Man” Johnson’s (William Smith) team consists of a Western genre family-like trio, with character names such as Billy the Kid, P.J. and Elder; all astounding performances. Gary “The Blacksmith” Dismal (Cedric Smith) is Lonnie’s top competitor. He is neither a one-dimensional friend nor foe. His personal team members, known as Stoner and Meatball, are a comical pair. Stoner is likable and not-such-a-bad guy, while Meatball is a classic A-hole. Candy (Judy Foster) is Miss FastCo, a not-so-dumb blonde with feelings for Billy, and who makes an admirable stand when her self-respect is threatened by her employer’s demands. William Smith and Claudia Jennings are the long-distance relationship lovers that I, on a personal level, have grown strongly attached to. Both, individually and together, add to the film something magical and nostalgic for me that I gain very rare in most movies that I’ve seen. The scenes enthusiastic with them makes me feel like a puny boy spending time with a well-liked aunt and uncle. Mind you, I reach from a Hispanic middle class background.
The cinematographer is largely to thank for capturing the humor of the film, as well as the documentary-like and though-provoking treatment of the dragsters; not to mention a multitude of highly admirable shots. Also worth mentioning is the work of Art Director Carol Spier, as well as the choices of music that significantly add to this fabulous itsy-bitsy film. I have to say that Posthaste Company has been one of the most savory surprises that I have encountered on DVD so far this year, along with The Passion of Joan of Arc, Flesh + Blood, Humanité, and Diary of a Country Priest.

Now, about Stereo and Crimes of the Future - after my remove, I got home as expeditiously as I could, and saw them first. Alas, they did not fully appeal to me, though Cronenberg’s glorious come to the storytelling on both, and his very nice camera work, did. I am very contented to have finally seen them, and I do intend to redo so again in the immediate future.
Blue Underground along with the personal supervision of Cinematographer Label Irwin exhibit an fabulous print for a late-Seventies B-movie. The colors and sharpness are outstanding; and the sound is extremely satisfying. David Cronenberg’s commentary is both bright and very sparkling. His occupy enthusiasm on the film, and at the discovery of the restoration of a thought-to-be lost seen is astonishing. Comments like: “…it’s very mighty me. And I don’t reflect anybody else could have made this movie the plan … that I did.” He stumbles at this last comment, probably concerned with sounding egotistical. However, with his style being so definite along with his input into the script, he has justification to gain that statement. Cronenberg also remarks on the commentary: “Worth every penny of it, wasn’t it? ” I quite agree. And am very elated to hear a director delighted with his fill work, for a change. This film should appeal to fans of Seventies exploitation and car racing, while bitter and stubborn Cronenberg no-nonsense apprehension fans might need some lubing, or repeated viewings, to bask in it for what it is and not for what they want it or query it to be.
Billy “The Kid” Brooker (Nicholas Campbell) : You know something, gang? There’s a lot of junk you can save down your pipes, you know what I mean. Now I’m talking about the beneficial stuff. You gotta prefer care of your baby’s engine. So I suggest you go like the pros, and go with FastCo. If you want that power, that performance, and that protection. Yeah. FastCo. This is what all the pro racers expend. FastCo Motor Treatment. (Chuckles) . All suitable.
Stereo and Crimes of the Future are among the best underground films produced in North America in the behind 60’s/early 70’s, a time when Kenneth Inflame and Martin Scorsese were also making their first films. Thanks to Blue Underground for releasing those two valuable productions (along with the large Swiftly Company in a extraordinary transfer) in such a classy edition.
May the experiment in telepathy launch…
