Watch Reefer Madness Movie Online.
Movie Title: Reefer Madness Reefer Madness is available for streaming or downloading. |
The movie Reefer Madness seen by itself is really nothing to brag about, but this special addition for this best-selling cult classic is fantastic. It’s a must buy, because for how cheap it is, you really get your money’s worth. For the first time ever, I can say that the colorized version (complete with multicolor smoke and over saturated psychedelic color schemes) is better and looks better than the original black and white, and both versions are available to watch which is considerate of the DVD producers to give us both, and it looks as good as we can ever expect. Extra features are fantastic highlighted by a hysterical commentary by Mike Nelson, formerly of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which is the sole reason why I bought this edition. The commentary by the people who colorized the film is also worth a look. I highly recommend this new edition.
In the 70s, NORML spread the myth that the government sponsored Reefer Madness. The truth, however, is that the film was made to play the Exploitation circuit… and was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Thelma White (Mae) has said that the cast was specifically asked to “hoke it up.” And the scene in which Ralph demands that the piano be played “Faster… Faster!” comes straight out of 42nd Street–a film in which actor Dave O’Brien (yes, Ralph himself) had played a chorus boy.
So, if the makers of this film weren’t serious about their message, why did they make the movie? Well, why did anybody make an Exploitation film in the 30s? To show more skin than the Hays Code allowed, of course, and to capitalize on public fears. Simply put: they wanted to make money. And make money they did.
Unlike most Exploitation fare, Reefer Madness was shot over a period of three weeks, on a relatively large budget (by sub-Poverty Row standards). Using an experienced director and a couple of actors who would go on to do respectable work in Hollywood, this production is the creme-de-la-creme of 30’s Exploitation cinema.
Reefer Madness is every bit as hyperbolic as it was intended to be. Just watch it knowing that its makers are laughing at you, and you’ll realize that this film is perhaps one of the greatest jokes ever played on an audience in the history of cinema. It’s certainly one of the most entertaining.
