Freaky Deaky is a 2012 crime-comedy-thriller film based on Elmore Leonard's 1988 novel of the same name. Produced, directed and written by Charles Matthau, the film starring Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Crispin Glover and Michael Jai White involves a bomb squad detective investigating weird goings-on of two 1960s ex-hippies cum revolutionaries in 1974 Detroit.
The film was released straight to video after debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Chris Mankowski worked in the bomb squad, but when he transferred out, he got caught up in an elaborate plot by former hippies, who have turned bomb making into a business.
The film received $2.8 million in tax incentives from the state of Michigan.[1]
