Nonsense
My review was written in September 1990 after watching the film on Media Home Entertainment video cassette.
Actor-filmmaker David Heavener gets some more mileage out of the Vietnam War experience in "Kill Crazy", a direct-to-video release.
He plays a battle fatigued soldier in a V. A. hospital who's out on a camping trip with fellow nutcases. The vets are grabbed by a nuttier group of right-wing survivalists led by messianic Bruce Glover, who wants to use the soldiers as "the most dangerous game" for target practice in some weekend war training. Switch here is that the guinea pigs are given rifles rather than let loose in the woods unarmed.
Heavener, of course, turns into a one-man army by the end of the film and rescues his baddies while wiping out the neo-Nazis. A rather extraneous subplot introduces a romance with cute Rachelle Carson. Well-billed Danielle Brisebois disappears from the film abruptly after contributing her requisite skinny dipping in the local pond scene with Carson.
Heavener is okay as the bewildered hero and contributes a few songs including the rather silly ballad "Is It Over Now?" he warbles over the end credits. "Laugh-In"'s announcer Gary Owens pops up in an unusual bit of casting as the sheriff.
