Probably best known as THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD this one is a pretty substandard 80s slasher flick that takes place in an empty dorm that's going to be demolished. Features future star Daphne Zuniga, who also shows up in another not much better slasher called THE INITIATION. There is one driller-killer scene and they throw in a twist ending but beyond that there's not much to recommend this one. AKA PRANKS(even though there aren't really any big important pranks to speak of)
Known in America alternately as THE DRAGON DIES HARD and BRUCE LEE, WE MISS YOU, this is the story of a big Bruce Lee fan(Bruce Li, who also just so happens to look a lot like Bruce!) who discovers Mr. Lee is dead and then naturally decides to take it upon himself to investigate the mystery surrounding his demise. This leads to many kung fu fights. You get the ghostly spirit of Bruce Lee that shows up every once in a while. The highlight here for me though has to be what is the weirdest reenactment of the moment Lee dies where he's jumping around like a spaz!
Some footage from 2 other kung fu flicks(THE SHANGHAI KILLERS and THE SCREAMING TIGER) are allegedly edited into this.
The actually release date of this movie is listed as anywhere from 1972 to 1977 depending on who you want to believe. Bruce Lee didn't actually die until 1973 so anything before that is obviously a little off!
The highlight of this Canadian men-in-prison flick for me was seeing pro wrestling legend Abdullah The Butcher as one of the prominent inmates here. Known as Canada's first gay film because it features some male-on-male rape and some cross-dressing, this is a pretty decent tale of revenge even if I'm more pre-disposed to enjoying those boob-filled women-in-prison spectacles.
The star of the original MY BLOODY VALENTINE Paul Kelman shows up as another one of the prisoners. AKA I'M GOING TO GET YOU ELLIOT BOY and CAGED MEN PLUS ONE WOMAN(are they referring to the guy in drag or Elliot's horrible girlfriend?)
Well this is certainly a weird one. The story deals with this dude(Gard Lokke) who lives with a guy in a dog suit(a furry?) named Frank. He's not gay though and it's not a fetish thing, I think anyway, because he starts dating this lady who at first naturally thinks this a bit odd and then when she finds out he's rich and famous is totally cool with it. The problem I have with this movie is that I don't think any of the characters are very sympathetic which make it a bit of a tough watch. It's also not really much of a horror film even though they do introduce some suspense and violence towards the end. It also has a pretty unremarkable and abrupt ending. OK for a one-time look for weird cinema devotees though. AKA ME, YOU & FRANK
