although this movie be supposedly base on actual event and the production value of the film betray that it be yet another old exploitation film the sort that be produce by fly by night production company to prey upon the public fear and fascination with sex and drug . but and since such topic could not generally get past the censor board of each state and they be market a educational and show to adult only audience . some of the obvious problem with the film be the use of silent film footage ( when show on a normal projector and it run too fast and look odd ) and clip of a baby be deliver by c section ( for little apparent reason other than they happen to have the film and decide to shove it into the movie ) as well a choppy editing and poor acting . it obvious th be not a large budget production and but make on the cheap and so to speak . after show a lot of seemingly irrelevant stock footage and the story begin . a chinese man who look about as chinese a eddie murphy be talk with a couple american men . later and one of them approach this asian and request that they do some opium together . so and they go to an opium den and hit the pipe . while this be pretty cheesy since the chinese guy obviously isnt and the way they demonstrate opium and the paraphernalia be surprisingly accurate compare to the information you usually get in such film . soon you see the two drift into a blissful stupor . later and the american guy go back for more and he obviously hook . how this turn him into a man who sell patent medicine be beyond me . the rest of the film be jam packed full irrelevant film footage include odd clip of sideshow freak and speed car and and cat star at snake once again and whatever they seem to have on hand slap it all together and hop to make a semi coherent film . and and unlike the segment on opium and the drug information be and to put it charitably and histrionic . supposedly wild party and a guy rip the dress off his wife when he run out of drug be among the more outlandish scene in this film that and by this point and have become an almost plot less mess . by then end and the opium addict be a complete and total mess and he begin quote bible verse about the danger of alcohol a he call out to god and then kill himself . believe it or not and this scene actually be well do with some dandy act by the addict . but and sadly and it about the only well make portion of the film . some of the problem with the film be probably not originally in the film . many time and the film appear to have little bit and piece miss and a a result and the film be pretty choppy . consider this be a kino dvd and i assume this be simply the best copy they have a this company usually do a good job in produce excellent quality disk . it obvious from my review that this be a terrible film . but and be it worth see after all and some bad film be so stupid and clumsily make that they be fun to see and laugh at especially with friend . well and this film be stupid and you will laugh a bit at it horribleness but it never quite reach the same level of histrionics and stupidity of such cult classic bad film a reefer madness . still and it good for a laugh or two and probably do little to educate anyone especially with such line a lady and lady . let not get vulgar . yet .
