CRAZY SIX is another terrible non-starter of a movie from director Albert Pyun, shot in Slovakia with an all-star cast who are entirely wasted in nothing roles. The story is about rival gangsters struggling for domination and the various characters who intertwine with them. Rob Lowe is the nominal hero, an anti-social drug addict unrecognisable behind a 'tache and long hair; supporting him is Ice-T, an extended cameo from Burt Reynolds, and Mario Van Peebles. There's even a smaller role for RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD's Thom Matthews, but the whole thing is so bad that this is a complete waste of time.

A terrible non-starter
A VERY BIZARRE & HYPNOTIC CRIME NOIR THRILLER MADE WITH HEART
Albert Pyun is a strange director with a weird bizarre style & dream like vision & especially with this movie Crazy Six. This is not a bad film or an excellent film & that's all to do with it's style but the strange Noir like atmosphere was actually mesmerising!!! Some people or most won't like this film & MOST don't just look at the other reviews!!! But for me i enjoyed it & couldn't keep my eyes of it until the end so his crazy colourful hypnotic style entertained me completely & the surreal dreamy music was sometimes beautiful!!! I always loved Cyborg (1989) that Albert directed & Nemisis (1992) both excellent true cult classic movies but alot of his films have been terrible but then again in the mix of crappy low budget films he makes there's always some great ones or at least very good or cool ones like this crazy six. The ensemble cast is really cool & again typical Albert style a very bizarre choice of actors? But it all works weirdly well? The best performance or at least presence in this strange little crime tale is the legendary Burt Reynolds (R.I.P) as Dakota an old tough cop who wears a cool cowboy hat & has an awesome 80s moustache & Rob Lowe as the title character crazy six billie gives a very toned down & serious performance as a junkie who robs & wants a reason to go clean & he is actually good in this role & I'm not fan of his at all as he's never been in anything I've wanted to watch!!! The always good Thom Mathews is very good & cool in this as Crazy six's only true friend,a good guy in all the craziness & he's a Pyun regular!!! Ice T is his usual cool & calm presence as a gangster boss & the usual type of role he plays & Mario van Peebles is another mob boss & a very strange one too who carries & talks to his little dog all the time yes bizarre like the whole movie but it all fits perfectly together in this crazy weird tone & crumbly old European setting. So yes crazy six is basically a small crime drama tale about a few very different troubled characters in a run down crime & drug infested European city double crossing & killing & all done in a dreamy colourful hypnotic style & actually really cool to watch visually & musically very hypnotic!!! Another cool but stange stylised vision in the Albert Pyun filmography. I can see this as a cult classic definitely & if you like off beat Crime Thrillers/dramas then check this little low budget but full of troubled heart GEM out!!! A moody atmospheric cinematic hypnotic Noir Crime flick that can't help but be entertaining & needs to be watched late at night for it's bizarre atmosphere it's very cool!!! Could be Albert Pyun's MASTERPIECE? CYBORG,NEMESIS & ADRENALINE i definitely recommend of director Albert Pyun all excellent
I have seen a lot of movies, but none of them is even close to being this bad.
Yeah, that's right. If I were to ask my friends this question: "What's the worst movie you have ever seen?" They might reply something like "Armageddon" (can you drill the hole?!?),"Shriek", "Plan Nine From Outer Space", "The Medallion", "Scooby Doo" etc... No - Don't get offended by this by thinking you have seen something that might be in the same department of naturally produced human fertilizer that this movie is in. If the worst movie you can think of is, let's say so bad it really pisses you off; then you know nothing my friend.
Crazy Six... I remember the day me and a buddy of mine went to the local video store to rent a movie. Both of us had already been through most of the movies in there, and on the "new movies"-shelf we see it staring at us. "Wow, there's some good actors here man. Says something about mafia, lets just get it and get out of here". This was without doubt the worst movie mistake in my movie loving life. It was also the worst mistake for everybody else: movie lover or not.
Watching this movie is as fun as watching a glass of ice cold water (or ice-tea....) until it reaches room temperature. Watching this movie will make you dream an eternal dream of death, if death is just blackout light and nothing, and then you realize you are just staring at your TV-monitor. Not staring. You are actually paying as much attention that is humanly possible. This is no joke.
This movie is the perfection of making a bad movie. It's not the kind of bad you can watch, point and laugh of, its the kind of movie that is so bad you actually have no chance of ever get out of your memory. Unless perhaps you use electric shock therapy to clear out the brain. .... ... (Hey! That might be something similar to how I remember me and my buddy felt after watching it....)
Best regards from me to you Albert Pyun.
