is a 1981 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Kichitaro Negishi. Both this film and the earlier (1956) version by Nikkatsu, Crazed Fruit, were based on a novel of the same name by Shintaro Ishihara.
Synopsis A working class young man, Tetsuo, who distrusts all rich people, falls in love with a girl, Chika, from an affluent family. He has a difficult time, but love survives despite the problems.
Cast Yūji Honma () as Tetsuo Yuki Ninagawa as Chika Eiko Nagashima as Harue Eiji Okada as Tono, Chika's step father Nobutaka Masutomi () as Osawa, Harue's husband Kinuko Obata () as Tetsuo's mother
Reception The Weissers call the plot "a sadly contrived story" and award it two and a half stars out of four, but laud Yūji Honma's "intense performance" which made the film a major hit for the Nikkatsu studio.
Home media Crazy Fruit was released as a DVD by Uplink (アップリンク) on May 23, 2003.
