We all know MAD MAX and its sequels. Some of us remember that giant killer pig movie RAZORBACK but this Australian-made documentary digs way deeper than that into the world of insane exploitation flicks from the land of kangaroos and psycho stuntmen. You get tons of clips from great looking movies full of blood, breasts, beasts, kung fu and general mayhem. Tarantino shows up to give his trademark super enthusiastic opinion and isn't overly annoying. The coolest thing to me is the obscure titles they dug up that even a film junkie like myself has never heard of. I definitely need to track down some of the slasher films shown. Also the behind the scenes shots of stuntmen setting themselves on fire and jumping off cliffs or doing some unbelievable car crashes is pretty amazing. CGI probably coulda saved a lot of broken bones and maybe a few lives but of course it would never have looked this authentic. This would probably also serve as good background visuals in a party situation.
The Trailer doesn't really show anything to cool in it but it does show a few scenes from the great Howling 3 : The Marsupials
ReplyDeleteBoobs are cool! HOWLING 3 not so much.
ReplyDeleteAh but come on. It claims Werewolves to be Marsupials and thats just ridiculous
ReplyDeleteIt is a silly idea. I actually haven't seen HOWLING 3 in a really long time. Maybe it's not as horrible as I recall.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is really fucking bad but thats why I like it. Its better to watch it with Joe Bob making fun of it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't think he will be showing up at the Cinema Arts Center.
ReplyDeleteIm still gonna try to catch it in the theater. It one of my favorite bad bad movies
