A surreal mashup of a Dukes of Hazzard rerun with several DePalma films. A most peculiar pelicula indeed. Odd moments of goofy humor and gushing gore, often in the same sequence. The Bronx Blonde's best performance since Raging Bull, scumbag accent and all. The kid that looks like the killer dwarf from Don't Look Now is memorable as well. Strange how some of the scenes are shot with raw egg white clarity, while others have a milky, blurriness to them. Knowing Cammell's background in art, this may have been intentional. Once again, Cammell casts an inept lead man (David Keith), he had a dense history of undermining himself this way (remember Jagger in Performance?)...but maybe it was the film company undermining him? Welp, too late to ask. Awfully nice to see his beautiful wife China in a cameo role; so graceful, even in the gamey maw of madness that is this film. Man, you never know the weight of that last straw.
