It had some similarities to MASTER KILLER, which is one of my all-time chop-sockey favs, due to all the training montages. You don't just get one hero in this though there are a whole slew of master fighters brandishing a variety of weapons and fighting styles. The cast includes a bunch of classic Shaw Brothers stars in top form including Alexander Fu Sheng, Ti Lung, David Chiang and others. A little lengthy at over 2 hours but that is what makes it all so epic.

Full of boobs, butts, rape and quite a bit of gore this is clearly not a family movie but as a young teen I sure dug it. Not having seen it since those days I must say it really holds up as a great example of 80s exploitation brought to us by Roger Corman's New World Pictures. You get a pig-headed warrior, evil wizardry, arms ripped off, multiple decapitations, mud wrestling, a fight-to-the-death tournament and lots of hot ladies showing off the goods including Barbi Benton. </p><p> There were 3 sequels with the last one being in 1991 and I don't remember anything outstanding about any of them. There are also various movies which used scenes from this in them because that's how Corman rolls. The 2 BARBARIAN QUEEN films with Lana Clarkson are also kind of sequels to this except the character she plays has a different name. A remake of this was recently announced which is supposed to simply be titled BARBARIAN.</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kjt5UVtr-Ko?si=e5kgt_5Ckh4LlUus" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /><div><br /></div><div>This Norwegian VHS gives us the title STALKER: THE WARRIOR KING and features a totally different character on the box cover!:<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-3Uli6CP3RYzWGJ_eRJKH2b0FaKun_LGO67YdzgKadCYyqaRNOuVxGbdsllJPRAp4elkbm4ed7LS-ca8izeHbEr_LoFGRXAJ0oZNGqPUh0vJSUKIbeg4cylQMlj4o10pWeSYN_s0A6_GYZbjhW6cdKEc299xEb9iDEBz0kuyEb5Pv8Q0_IZDtdc8rh8/s344/MV5BYTIzMTUxNzYtZDBhNi00Yjc0LWJiZTAtNzgyYzA1YzhmMDEwXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMzI2MDk3NQ@@._V1_FMjpg_UX800_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="213" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-3Uli6CP3RYzWGJ_eRJKH2b0FaKun_LGO67YdzgKadCYyqaRNOuVxGbdsllJPRAp4elkbm4ed7LS-ca8izeHbEr_LoFGRXAJ0oZNGqPUh0vJSUKIbeg4cylQMlj4o10pWeSYN_s0A6_GYZbjhW6cdKEc299xEb9iDEBz0kuyEb5Pv8Q0_IZDtdc8rh8/w396-h640/MV5BYTIzMTUxNzYtZDBhNi00Yjc0LWJiZTAtNzgyYzA1YzhmMDEwXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMzI2MDk3NQ@@._V1_FMjpg_UX800_.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-23937752094268785072024-03-08T19:34:00.000-08:002024-03-08T19:38:35.639-08:00RESIDENCE FOR SPIES (1968)<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtOEUomL0sNz0wIyVSaCqJQ8_JKuLEP5wLhDaJMTj5sWtQfVvARCEC14ClLDSs1VZ6FAd0mU7MGu7wXdrxI22cMzm8OZQQvv84PfSUCFtL1lYfR7gUkkOEHrMJ_joNXoFxCskveMJVvXapaXSqfJAJ0OpYbM-3wNF7xlF5ZkLyTXFtMrqqTk6uh-fFGIE/s447/l6PWuVsMdj11ZkKzGMDhQIsKP06.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="447" data-original-width="302" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtOEUomL0sNz0wIyVSaCqJQ8_JKuLEP5wLhDaJMTj5sWtQfVvARCEC14ClLDSs1VZ6FAd0mU7MGu7wXdrxI22cMzm8OZQQvv84PfSUCFtL1lYfR7gUkkOEHrMJ_joNXoFxCskveMJVvXapaXSqfJAJ0OpYbM-3wNF7xlF5ZkLyTXFtMrqqTk6uh-fFGIE/s600/l6PWuVsMdj11ZkKzGMDhQIsKP06.jpg" /></a></div>
Jess Franco gives us a comedic spy movie here starring Eddie Constantine who was famous for starring in Jean-Luc Godard's ALPHAVILLE a few years earlier. This was before Franco delved into the more sleazy/exploitation portion of his career which is really the stuff I love best so this one is not anywhere near the top of my personal favs. Might be of interest to fans of 60s James Bond and spoofs of that sort of stuff but I don't think the action is anything near what you would want from your standard spy flick of the era.

Late in the subgenre, I think this one is mainly known because it contains one super gory bit where a ladies nipple and genitals are mutilated in very close-up detail. Beyond that though it's pretty dull experience. Also the fact that it's based on a true story where they never found the killer doesn't lend itself to the most satisfying conclusion I've ever seen in one of these sort of films. While some 80s gialli(<a href="https://videodead.blogspot.com/2023/11/arabella-black-angel-1989.html">ARABELLA</a> for one) can be amusing due to the ridiculous fashions of the time this really isn't one of those. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Known some places as THE MURDERER IS STILL WITH US:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9hJsgKH6upH_X2Ag2bVwbY10MUihUrTGPFbvdJSeoHkJpo3QqQzzXdYHef6y7ZSkeRBItbNwiTNisD4NACTjasWW9BMtRYRVpEweB-H2zAIiEzin9QXJXCI7LfrdWwKNXBoSdVtQzp9X9ncfdQcYUEANP7DbE_zta6wS58Xqoa72DmookjL8s8H-19I/s366/MV5BNjZkZTRlNjYtYzEyYi00YzEzLWE0ZGMtOWI1NzUwOGI4MWU4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDgzODE3NDk@._V1_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="219" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9hJsgKH6upH_X2Ag2bVwbY10MUihUrTGPFbvdJSeoHkJpo3QqQzzXdYHef6y7ZSkeRBItbNwiTNisD4NACTjasWW9BMtRYRVpEweB-H2zAIiEzin9QXJXCI7LfrdWwKNXBoSdVtQzp9X9ncfdQcYUEANP7DbE_zta6wS58Xqoa72DmookjL8s8H-19I/w382-h640/MV5BNjZkZTRlNjYtYzEyYi00YzEzLWE0ZGMtOWI1NzUwOGI4MWU4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDgzODE3NDk@._V1_.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-23346109772374191182024-02-29T18:07:00.000-08:002024-02-29T18:08:47.952-08:00THE HEROIC TRIO (1993)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBP2VtSyYcpvkzmB8F78Q8cZbieBy7Ndkgd_lPe1SA_3MKEj__PxYEPpTNxHY6UBDqSZIheaTS830nuRt17ie95M6mJviD99kKWaADc6UFEk6qBY6cz_7Ssyv3tLPbseKe1c5vmP3QYyaFnqjycgZ-Azc_BZNreZlB5kM2u8gTTQxidJtRlxhAK5kfrA/s1500/qkX2j434Mw2bYEJZlR4hd85HrxU.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBP2VtSyYcpvkzmB8F78Q8cZbieBy7Ndkgd_lPe1SA_3MKEj__PxYEPpTNxHY6UBDqSZIheaTS830nuRt17ie95M6mJviD99kKWaADc6UFEk6qBY6cz_7Ssyv3tLPbseKe1c5vmP3QYyaFnqjycgZ-Azc_BZNreZlB5kM2u8gTTQxidJtRlxhAK5kfrA/w426-h640/qkX2j434Mw2bYEJZlR4hd85HrxU.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p> Hong Kong version of a superhero movie that teams up 3 of their big actresses of the 90s Michelle Yeoh(as The Invisible Girl), Maggie Cheung(as a tough biker chick known as The Thief Catcher) and Anita Mui(as Wonder Woman). They face off against an evil baby-snatching demon and his henchman played by Anthony Wong. Even though this isn't quite a Category III film which is what I mainly know Wong from, it's still Hong Kong so you get a bloody scene where a baby ends up getting impaled on a nail and several cannibalistic children wetting themselves while being murdered. Prime comic book action for cult movie fans. Director Johnnie To would go on to make a bunch of cool action/thriller movies over the years. </p><p> There was a sequel, where it suddenly becomes a post-apocalyptical scenario, which came out the same year. </p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4KBZaya2JCk?si=_60P4r-hkCVU2VVv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div> Terrible African hand-painted poster!:<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_kUl3T5DbFbELSziqzueaIE-H0-TAjewrzOKxqF4pk5sKgkfFNRX1R0yo4kvXxw2En7cyhZS5E9J6XQVaZYcsqjCjeR-g1KJ18BGnRJLUGSTPenNuGuIyIowsgr_vV4RMzBGky5_UpVwiE31La25HybKZHjmsnnJnr2YJavbAQCUcFYJ63n00f941bw/s933/kbprg_3f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="653" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_kUl3T5DbFbELSziqzueaIE-H0-TAjewrzOKxqF4pk5sKgkfFNRX1R0yo4kvXxw2En7cyhZS5E9J6XQVaZYcsqjCjeR-g1KJ18BGnRJLUGSTPenNuGuIyIowsgr_vV4RMzBGky5_UpVwiE31La25HybKZHjmsnnJnr2YJavbAQCUcFYJ63n00f941bw/w448-h640/kbprg_3f.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-12180181885527668912024-02-24T08:33:00.000-08:002024-02-24T08:33:37.441-08:00MANSION OF THE LIVING DEAD (1982)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhZwB7VQ0jO-SoCM-0gj_rKfDUOCqsOIvDwAi2ehd43QfN4J_V76QzzrM787IPLoO_cK7zydfIFWD4auBz4B771o9L5wy_ESlCZGLWcYLpqD0KZYsZvBBqrC5c5i75liBFpQFvXmQoLtkU2ga1IXr-LyABhU15Q6RtMWzpppa8f0_2pWs1GEnU3BY-VEg/s1426/MV5BY2VjMDM4YjMtZTg5NC00MzFiLTkxNzktMGI2MTE0NDZmZTVkL2ltYWdlL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDE5MTU2MDE@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1426" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhZwB7VQ0jO-SoCM-0gj_rKfDUOCqsOIvDwAi2ehd43QfN4J_V76QzzrM787IPLoO_cK7zydfIFWD4auBz4B771o9L5wy_ESlCZGLWcYLpqD0KZYsZvBBqrC5c5i75liBFpQFvXmQoLtkU2ga1IXr-LyABhU15Q6RtMWzpppa8f0_2pWs1GEnU3BY-VEg/w448-h640/MV5BY2VjMDM4YjMtZTg5NC00MzFiLTkxNzktMGI2MTE0NDZmZTVkL2ltYWdlL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDE5MTU2MDE@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p> Lina Romay(billed as Candy Coster) and 3 of her topless dancer co-workers go on vacation and end up at a spooky deserted hotel where horror ensues.

It's kind of a zombie movie except these zombies are really horny! Oh and they're actually controlled by a parasite that sneaks around like a slug and crawls into people's orifices(including the great Barbara Steele in a bathtub). Lynn Lowry gets naked for no reason and we get lots of orgy scenes to go along with the murderous rampages. Still an impressive early movie clearly made on a low budget with ideas that would be more fleshed out in years to come.

I mean they're not as bad as today, or anything post the year 2000 with all the CGI nonsense, but given that they were preceded by the kitschiness of the 50s and then followed by the grittiness of the late 60s and 70s they were pretty awful in comparison for the most part and here's a prime example of that. Some fishermen find an abandoned boat and then get involved with some gangsters and that's pretty much the whole plot! Not exactly the most action packed film I've ever seen and what pisses me off the most about this is that they snuck it into a DVD set of biker movies which this is clearly not. Supposedly shot in 5 days which I can certainly believe. Roger Corman coulda done better!</p><p> Not a bad trailer for such a leisurely-paced movie: </p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BScxe_edqCo?si=fni3mMaGkmWcV_RS" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-32130973199729599912024-02-13T10:09:00.000-08:002024-02-13T10:09:57.735-08:00LEGENDARY WEAPONS OF CHINA (1982)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwKKc_1jjy0mTJScUNh-fTOjIOQsa8Q2UUKFZkCwwM-S-DnAZPEVQOxqXC-Zs7oCRdSolvaHm4Huf38J06HXJjT-h46pNBQtlEXu6TWQwbiezVB9tIzoN_iwus557RrPpmJvqOwOsBrlU1LZw1D2L91oOzojqAdMP3H7MMps2dTOfO0kvud4jsxMeFDmc/s1443/MV5BOGFmMTc3NDgtMzJiOC00ZGU0LTgyM2UtZmI4OTBlOTJiNWEyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzk4ODUyOTI@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1443" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwKKc_1jjy0mTJScUNh-fTOjIOQsa8Q2UUKFZkCwwM-S-DnAZPEVQOxqXC-Zs7oCRdSolvaHm4Huf38J06HXJjT-h46pNBQtlEXu6TWQwbiezVB9tIzoN_iwus557RrPpmJvqOwOsBrlU1LZw1D2L91oOzojqAdMP3H7MMps2dTOfO0kvud4jsxMeFDmc/w444-h640/MV5BOGFmMTc3NDgtMzJiOC00ZGU0LTgyM2UtZmI4OTBlOTJiNWEyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzk4ODUyOTI@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><p> Being more of a fan of the Shaw Brothers' 70s output this one fell a little short for me. Of course there are the amazing sets and fights, and you get Gordon Liu playing an ominous bad guy, but I wasn't fond of the comedy bits thrown in, with Alexander Fu Sheng and a voodoo doll, which seemed to spoof earlier kung fu movies. It was also a bit confusing for the first quarter of the movie or so and I really couldn't tell you what was going on until it all settled down and became clear. There sure are a lot of weapons on display here though, which get their own subtitles, so that's something. It's also kind of interesting that the idea for this movie is taken from history where Chinese would practice martial arts in the belief that it would make them impervious to the bullets of invading Westerners.

Very basic 80s werewolf movie, with some fairly decent transformation scenes, thanks to director Ted Bohus, which are inspired by <a href="https://videodead.blogspot.com/2014/06/an-american-werewolf-in-london-1981.html">AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON</a>, mixed with an almost SAVED BY THE BELL plot involving a struggling up and coming rock band and high school kids all played by folks who could easily be in their 30s or 40s. Michael J. Fox and TEEN WOLF get name checked and our mysterious werewolf gets to slashing. Maybe worth a one-time watch if you're a werewolf cinema completist. </p><p>Known as TEENAGE WEREWOLF in Denmark:</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x_xbHFxSIQg?si=xcbvgLOjvF64Hvq1" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-60483936968715337182024-02-10T06:53:00.000-08:002024-02-10T06:53:57.369-08:00AFTER PARTY MASSACRE (2011)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02JpoiwalC4t9YN_Fo_YEq7w1TYaO_ECzE7zfksM33G3nj3FgphxTmbddY2xq7UzXAQKITyhNf_Fts99SBCBJNzYlPoki_ui7eHmvBt9PVM-TOqZpSARw8xqo4FAXn8MpPRJHG-6QgPeZIZtWVNPYKdT2Ixv606lgQl9mkv7CBfUa0mm9TH0Eln-qcik/s612/997f5c32-c911-4982-a491-9ecbe90af081_1.7d7c82e42fa3994ecf922500f27474c6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="612" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02JpoiwalC4t9YN_Fo_YEq7w1TYaO_ECzE7zfksM33G3nj3FgphxTmbddY2xq7UzXAQKITyhNf_Fts99SBCBJNzYlPoki_ui7eHmvBt9PVM-TOqZpSARw8xqo4FAXn8MpPRJHG-6QgPeZIZtWVNPYKdT2Ixv606lgQl9mkv7CBfUa0mm9TH0Eln-qcik/w640-h640/997f5c32-c911-4982-a491-9ecbe90af081_1.7d7c82e42fa3994ecf922500f27474c6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p> Rather than an actual movie-watching experience this felt way more like viewing a very specific fetish video.

In addition to this they also squeeze in what seems like a propaganda film for the federal government to remind us how terrible moonshine is. </p><p> I own this in a DVD set of biker movies which I was hoping this would be but was sadly letdown. </p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TqQri1Tw3OQ?si=krNlEoELGi_q3ZxN" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-27145555539436492682024-01-29T18:25:00.000-08:002024-02-02T17:44:55.916-08:00FIRST LOVE (2019)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB73elFfvjruC3l8-ZswCZKFT6eeGtiEQeYuKb6lXOd9C2VKOABZGHwbF2olaSK5pWeef2szWAV6jzgW7kQiP3X8o6h722v8gz-YT83_tRL6RDS6xe0FDtH5DhZ4qDMlx0WtdcyQ9JB-jORvvPTf8ktqcq6YJcu_VJXgvUflJ1A9vUFm78zKaMi1bqDec/s1517/MV5BODg4MDBmY2MtNzg1Yy00ZTc0LWI0ZjgtZmI0ZDRiYTAxMmM3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjU1NzU3MzE@._V1_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1517" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB73elFfvjruC3l8-ZswCZKFT6eeGtiEQeYuKb6lXOd9C2VKOABZGHwbF2olaSK5pWeef2szWAV6jzgW7kQiP3X8o6h722v8gz-YT83_tRL6RDS6xe0FDtH5DhZ4qDMlx0WtdcyQ9JB-jORvvPTf8ktqcq6YJcu_VJXgvUflJ1A9vUFm78zKaMi1bqDec/w432-h640/MV5BODg4MDBmY2MtNzg1Yy00ZTc0LWI0ZjgtZmI0ZDRiYTAxMmM3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjU1NzU3MzE@._V1_.jpg" width="432" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> You could call this one director Takashi Miike's version of TRUE ROMANCE where you take a couple and drop them into the middle of some mobsters fighting over drugs. Miike seems to have gone the David Cronenberg route where he starts out making really strange oddball cinema and then ends up making more straight forward gangster movies. Of course Miike has made way more fims then David so he's really ventured outside of any strict genre guidelines over the years. A bit overlong at almost 2 hours but it does manage to maintain a high energy level throughout. Heads roll, arms roll and lots of gun-fu commences.<div><br /></div><div>

Full of whatever they call kung-fu in Vietnam but surprisingly not really a lot of bloodshed despite all the knives, axes and other assorted implements of destruction that are employed.

Lina Romay gets abducted by a female being from another dimension(Evelyne Scott) and her human slave(Raymond Hardy, who was Lina's real-life husband at the time, in some cool shades) then is sent around to kill anyone who knows too much. She accomplishes this by getting rubbed with some lotion and then turning progressively more sparkly(thanks to all the glitter on her body) and becoming deadly to the touch. Director Jess Franco shows up as a professor who explains what the hell is going on. Light on plot and long on taking it's time to do anything at an hour and 45 minutes it is a bit of a rough watch. It does feature long closeup shots of Lina's shaved bare vagina so if that's your thing give it a sleazy glare. <p></p><p> There are shorter cuts of this including the French one with hardcore footage and an animated title sequence. </p><p><br /></p><div style="height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative;"> <iframe allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="100%" src="https://ge.xhamster.com/videos/jess-franco-shining-sex-remastered-xhmc1ET" style="height: 100%; left: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 100%;" type="text/html" width="100%"> </iframe> </div>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-6136603499705371022024-01-26T11:23:00.000-08:002024-01-26T11:23:25.979-08:00ENTRAILS OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN (1986)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaLF5RDlr8K1SP09pc1waW2gmCuxHrPC_95j8KF-c44kCZXOEgxza3ec78kh-7C6jd8ENiZ-Bew6WY6peWq0a-wJ9lnLou52hhIkCn0JHauXKhobOkUBC8JnaiRFDOcC3dL6uR1M0yEVaGUCOsykRDnOqnXmWGzUE7RG1HukmS3qEbhhhvX-A8NdDFIK8/s517/entrails-of-a-beautiful-woman_poster_goldposter_com_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="517" data-original-width="345" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaLF5RDlr8K1SP09pc1waW2gmCuxHrPC_95j8KF-c44kCZXOEgxza3ec78kh-7C6jd8ENiZ-Bew6WY6peWq0a-wJ9lnLou52hhIkCn0JHauXKhobOkUBC8JnaiRFDOcC3dL6uR1M0yEVaGUCOsykRDnOqnXmWGzUE7RG1HukmS3qEbhhhvX-A8NdDFIK8/w428-h640/entrails-of-a-beautiful-woman_poster_goldposter_com_4.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"> I had seen the first movie in this series, ENTRAILS OF A VIRGIN, a while back and recall it being alright.

Despite the funky soundtrack and a couple of black characters it really isn't much like an American blaxploitation flick. Still a fun one that starts out like THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME before settling into a more typical whodunnit tale. There is a bit where they stop the movie and take a "werewolf break" so you can guess who's the wolfman(or wolfwoman) so that's something. The monster itself is kind of a letdown though being just a big fluffy dog </p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gIYyzBNMwbs?si=4aHZmpK1SjIIWhmL" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvxbs92j9TkbauWwwrGfZJVbVF14u6uW3IlKA3afXxRLjcYAhaHlyfjO60GdO_4kikjODYoJGKBZgS8bx_Yh_KSP5DWsudT27PC0d0hLsgf1V1DBhOQzecew6RVT_SX52yeupJVU7F3dPTlqvMt_igIki4vl0EcbU5FYQdBHIjBLR8KxToacUrMoHJLG4/s397/ada1b9bc-4eef-405b-ba1c-0668e929c75e.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="397" data-original-width="307" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvxbs92j9TkbauWwwrGfZJVbVF14u6uW3IlKA3afXxRLjcYAhaHlyfjO60GdO_4kikjODYoJGKBZgS8bx_Yh_KSP5DWsudT27PC0d0hLsgf1V1DBhOQzecew6RVT_SX52yeupJVU7F3dPTlqvMt_igIki4vl0EcbU5FYQdBHIjBLR8KxToacUrMoHJLG4/w494-h640/ada1b9bc-4eef-405b-ba1c-0668e929c75e.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Released on VHS under this more exploitative title!:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITLnIymYbvxrSs-Q41dJFBMttP4tiSkeFnXUU0t7af_ssROGCh13rTu_g7AJxmVWu6kFUTXcWLfX22VL6fNxDRVu-iTm6eqoktHapyXbe2Af937kZe3NQXPwhKTISh4OcMSFLMTnuGFf8g61DAwpzZzyBTY6Cx6ZW7vwcttfMs02xkFPM4byHmc_YAWM/s1014/black-werewolf.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="567" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITLnIymYbvxrSs-Q41dJFBMttP4tiSkeFnXUU0t7af_ssROGCh13rTu_g7AJxmVWu6kFUTXcWLfX22VL6fNxDRVu-iTm6eqoktHapyXbe2Af937kZe3NQXPwhKTISh4OcMSFLMTnuGFf8g61DAwpzZzyBTY6Cx6ZW7vwcttfMs02xkFPM4byHmc_YAWM/w358-h640/black-werewolf.webp" width="358" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-58161756667888077242024-01-20T06:15:00.000-08:002024-01-20T06:15:24.804-08:00PRIVATE VICES, PUBLIC VIRTUES (1976)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1F-9xxciTYOJ8EFzaSFLrRUt3iQBIJt3G-_f1s20qeJxhSnPXA09pdXVsAkurnd4BRk9lsnzVUpNuS0CppYVPLWW0OB2Y4pBEUXZMW9uAcTOKOK1liLuFqoVuEn9hsSqUbc0B84L6_8vAw25nSDjUjqNS2jVVCr-9TrFUogSMdqF48K8xPWRjHqnYg0/s724/47791_1_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="508" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1F-9xxciTYOJ8EFzaSFLrRUt3iQBIJt3G-_f1s20qeJxhSnPXA09pdXVsAkurnd4BRk9lsnzVUpNuS0CppYVPLWW0OB2Y4pBEUXZMW9uAcTOKOK1liLuFqoVuEn9hsSqUbc0B84L6_8vAw25nSDjUjqNS2jVVCr-9TrFUogSMdqF48K8xPWRjHqnYg0/w450-h640/47791_1_large.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div> Based on the true story of Prince Rudolph of Austria back in 1889. Not being a historical scholar I have no idea how much of this is actually based on any facts but in this film they sure make the prince(Lajos Balazsovits) out to be a real jerk. Obviously his obsession with a hedonistic lifestyle and snubbing the state is designed to convey some political message. It also works as a meditation on the hippie free love vs. a staunchly repressive government which might have been more relevant if this was made back in the 60s. It's artsy softcore porn aesthetic, with never-ending dancing, singing and laughing doesn't seem to help me relate to anyone in this and really begin to grate on your nerves after a while. As I've seen one reviewer state, orgies are usually way more fun to partake in then just watch. There's lots of nakedness, floppy dicks abound, a hermaphrodite shows up and butt-rapes a military general and we get an expected 70s downer ending. I can see fans of Walerian Borowczyk really digging this. <div><br /></p><div style="height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative;"> <iframe allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="100%" src="https://ge.xhamster.com/videos/private-vices-public-virtues-14262905" style="height: 100%; left: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 100%;" type="text/html" width="100%"> </iframe> </div>Stevie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18104768356618886075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787498952194142067.post-82472666047307692782024-01-19T19:01:00.000-08:002024-01-19T19:06:03.523-08:00TWO FEMALE SPIES WITH FLOWERED PANTIES (1980)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1w7NTmMUZCg7f5M1YIdb6aVDbtOSM8WH0rYbE-qdo172a4igm4VfMyS0evSk8CWY4tlfzBxUSl8E1MaItvpVJzicGfBNgBopEJgJXJsKQs3PyGypyBEtTYiclYh_ZgIaa_Nb_c83kcG-fXxFZ7PIhBtgDxxTQ39f6q6PwdLxdajj6R3luN9OMXwGLO5I/s1000/pdf_79eb600a-5fac-11e6-8852-40a9a65ba7f3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="664" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1w7NTmMUZCg7f5M1YIdb6aVDbtOSM8WH0rYbE-qdo172a4igm4VfMyS0evSk8CWY4tlfzBxUSl8E1MaItvpVJzicGfBNgBopEJgJXJsKQs3PyGypyBEtTYiclYh_ZgIaa_Nb_c83kcG-fXxFZ7PIhBtgDxxTQ39f6q6PwdLxdajj6R3luN9OMXwGLO5I/w424-h640/pdf_79eb600a-5fac-11e6-8852-40a9a65ba7f3.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p> Not director Jess Franco's finest work but still a mildly entertaining romp that mixes a spy movie with Franco's signature sleaze. Lina Romay(billed here as Candy Coster) and Nadine Pascal are our frequently naked leads who go from strippers to detectives for some reason that is never really explained very well. There's also a gang of hippies who live in caves, a human trafficking group led by a gal who uses a magical hypnotizing ring, torture, rape(not only of women but a gay dude gets molested against his will in a scene that's played for laughs), gun-fu and lots of Euro-bush.

Complete with Barbara Steele, it's hard not to compare these 2 films and Bava, as usual, is responsible for the more iconic movie. Margheriti is no slouch in the gothic horror department though and if slow-moving, artfully-shot Euro-ghost/witch stories are your bag you could certainly do worse than this. <div> Despite the title there isn't anyone being strangled to death by any long hair.
