Mad Dog Time (a.k.a. Trigger Happy) is a 1996 ensemble cast crime film directed by Larry Bishop, released through United Artists. The film is notable for the various cameo appearances by many well-known personages, including the first movie appearance by Christopher Jones in over a quarter-century.
The film was not well-received by critics on release. Roger Ebert gave the film a rare zero star rating, noting:
Mad Dog Time is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time. Oh, I've seen bad movies before. But they usually made me care about how bad they were. Watching Mad Dog Time is like waiting for the bus in a city where you're not sure they have a bus line.... Mad Dog Time should be cut into free ukulele picks for the poor. [1]
