Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "I've misssed so much of my life . . ."
A small budget masterpiece driven by another powerhouse performance by "Sir" Dennis Hopper, in my opinion, among the very greatest living actors, and solid acting up and down the line. What we have here is a tragic tale - once again the "have nots" simply crushed under the iron and leather heels of the "haves". A direct and candid visioning of why folks turn to crime and the insensitivity of the brutal wheels of capitalism and the awful legal infrastructure which supports this miserable system ... Read More
Rating:  - Funky Cutting / Challenging Transfer
Over the years, after seeing "Mad Dog" in the theater, I picked up various VHS versions and (now) DVD versions of this film. While the Troma version here is better than the worst, it's not a good transfer. More, I keep looking for a better edited version of the underlying elements. This Mora flic has always been choppy, but I keep hoping each new release will tell the tale with a bit smoother presentation. Nothing new here. Maybe this is as good as this low-budget flic gets? Perhaps Phillipe ... Read More
Rating: - ..Is this complete anywhere on dvd???

Rating:  - Wrong aspect ratio on Troma DVD transfer
The film was originally shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. But this 2005 DVD release from Troma Entertainment presents the film in a 1.66:1 aspect ratio print cropped directly from the "pan and scan" full-screen print that was made for VHS releases. The film has never been seen in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio since its theatrical release.
Rating: - A fine movie that deserves a better DVD
Mad Dog Morgan is a real rarity, which is a great shame, because Philip Mora's film has much to recommend it and deserves much better than a dodgy cropped transfer on the Troma label. More a chronicle of the exploits of `Mad Dog' Morgan, the bushranger who inspired Ned Kelly, than a conventional narrative, it's a non-judgemental portrait of an inconsistent, unpredictable man - after going to great lengths to deny he'll ever "be made a murderer," he then becomes one almost immediately when he drunkenly ...
