FALL 2018 UPDATE

APOCALYPTIC FILMS

L412 Empire of Ash (88) aka: Empire of Ash 2 In post-nuclear 'New Idaho' a warrior and his battle skills savvy gal, set out to rescue her sister from one group that has kidnapped her. Guns aplenty, armor-plated vehicles, topless chicks, hard-rock soundtrack, mutated survivors, splotchy hatchet job editing and great fun. This film 'Empire of Ash' was released as 'Empire of Ash 2' the following year, but is the same film, hence the entirely different film 'Empire of Ash 3' which also came out the following year. Confused yet? And as far as passing the same film off as it's own sequel, genius! Followed by 'Empire of Ash (ahem) 3'! which is also known as 'Last of the Warriors'!

L414/4552 Empire of Ash 3 (89) Cult leader Lucas (played to the mad max by William Smith) reigns supreme here and must be toppled by our usual pack of freedom fighting do-gooders. Luckily we get all the fixin's. Leather-gear, open top jeeps and machine guns, mutants, cults, bad hair and more heavy metal. Basically all of the things that made 'Empire of Ash 1 (2) so frickin' awesome. Gun fights boobs and cannibals. I'm in. This 3 is really 2 but 1 is 2 so 3 it is.

Z494 Final Executioner, The (84) aka: L'ultimo guerriero Finally a LBX version of this one! The end of the world has come and gone. The nuclear devastation didn't quite wipe out society completely however. Leave it up to the survivors to do that. A small group has taken it upon themselves to exterminate people they decide are 'inferior'... Of course this means people die, and others are looking for revenge! Violent action, tasteless rape, chases, explosions and more! Another fine addition to the Italian Post-Apocalyptic Genre. With villain 'Erasmus' played by Harrison Muller, who seemed to have a sort of mini-career playing in these apoc flicks. Margie (Hell of the Living Dead) stars, and Woody Strode as 'Sam'. LBX BA

3815/7174 Rage (84) aka: A Man Called Rage aka: Rage - Fuoco incrociato aka: Rush 2Our usual 'Soldier of Fortune' type (Rage of the title played by Bruno Minniti) is captured and sent on a mission into a 'Forbidden Zone' to locate some life-restoring uranium. Others are also after the same thing (led by a villain named 'Slash'!), which provides the violent conflict. Together with his rag tag band of specifically skills based accomplices they set out. High octane ending will remind you of 'The Road Warrior'. An entirely entertaining and exciting post apocalyptic film. This is after the previous year's 'Rush'. Minniti was 'Thor' in the previous years 'Thor the Conqueror'. Also with eye candy Taida Urruzola with painted on jean shorts. Oh man. BA

BIKERS, BITCHES AND BABES

Z464 Bad Girl Mako (71) aka: Furyô shôjô Mako aka: Wet Highway Mako and the other young girls are bullied by a gang ruling the city. Mako meets Hideo, and he helps them escape and they hide out in a bowling alley. But they are located by the boss and his thugs. Hideo escapes and is later killed by the boss. Heartbroken, Mako seeks revenge with her knife, which will soon be bloody!. She even kills her brother! Nudity, attempted rape, women smacked around like they are property, and a showdown at a very large swimming pool. LBX and with English subtitles. BA

4258 Pink Angels (72) aka: Waylayed An openly gay biker gang encounter all types of harassment on their way to an L.A. drag convention. Also along the way they try on dresses at a clothing store and engage in a food fight at a roadside hot dog stand. Look Boys, I'm a Hotdog! Michael Pataki and Dan Haggerty play straight bikers. Funky soundtrack. What seems like a light-hearted romp turns deadly with an ending out of left field that must be seen to be believed! A complete mess of a film, but what a product of it's time, you are there! BA

P156 Women on the Run (93) aka: Chi luo kuang ben It's a violent female 'buddy' movie! Two mismatched heroines, a policewoman, and a drug-addicted prostitute, join forces to get revenge after both of them are betrayed. Both women are accomplished fighters, and the prostitute fights naked twice, although briefly, a most welcome inclusion. They fight off legions of mean rapist types, but become helpless victims as soon as a guy unzips his pants. Cheap and trashy Category Three that delivers on almost all counts. LBX and with English subtitles.

CLASSIC HORROR AND SCI-FI FILMS  {Choose any two CLASSIC titles to create your custom double feature for $14.00 on VHS OR DVD-R! }

H988 Creeper, The (48) A serum derived from a cat, created by a mad scientist, turns a man into a creeping 'cat-like' killer. Straight out of the Val Lewton play-book with dark shadowy worlds and dream sequence nightmares. Maybe one of a few were-cat flicks.... Two versions of 'The Cat People', 'Cat Girl'.... and let's not forget um... well? Beware of the transformation scene and avoid that paw at all costs! BA

Z394 World Will Shake, The (39) aka: The World Will Tremble aka: Le monde tremblera A scientist (Claude Dauphin) creates a machine that can predict the date and time of your death. Consumed by power, he uses it nefariously, watching the stock market tank due to his predictions and other disastrous occurrences brought on by his megalomania. Erich Von Stroheim also stars with alternative money-making intentions for the device, and eventually the people rise up in revolt and outrage.... Excellent science fiction and with English subtitles.

DINOSAURS, LOST LANDS, SWORD AND SANDAL, PEPLUMS, FANTASY FILMS AND MORE

J19 Between Time and Timbuktu: A Space Fantasy (72) Comprised of excerpts from novels and stories by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. here is a mishmash sci-fi satire and the 'Chrono-Synclastic Infundibilum' in which a man is bounced around in time, space and place with infinite copies of himself. Astounding and imperfect but incredibly ambitious science fiction television from PBS and starring William Hickey, Dortha Duckworth, Kevin McCarthy, Susan Sullivan and more! BA

1402 Girl of the Nile (69) aka: The Emerald of Artatama aka: La muchacha del Nilo A treasure hunting expedition travels deep into the Egyptian desert. When they discover a lost ancient tomb, greed begins to take over. Rory Calhoun as a hard-drinking, two-fisted conman and womanizer (quite a likable fellow actually) who is after the emerald, that is as large as a man's fist! Hijackers, loan sharks, desert bandits, clingy women and more. With Esperanza Roy and more. BA

2488 Gold of the Amazon Women (79) aka: Weiße Sklavin der grünen Hölle Adventurer Tom Jenson (Bo Svenson) is on a quest to locate the fabled lost city of El Dorado, and the treasures within. Tagging along is his trusty sidekick. They are captured by a tribe of gorgeous Amazon women led by Anita Ekberg! Men in cages forced to sexually satisfy Amazon women! Donald Pleasence is the villain, also after the gold! Helicopter attack, poison ants, snakes, crocodiles, a battle between the Amazons and blow-dart spitting natives, fistfights, smack addicted jungle women... and the lost city of course! BA

Z428 Golden Goddess of Rio Bene (64) aka: Die goldene Göttin vom Rio Beniaka:Per un pugno di diamanti An expedition is looking for a person who crash landed somewhere in the Amazon, taking a large boat down the mighty river. The searchers join up with some treasure hunters. Running into various cannibal tribes, one of the groups men falls for the blonde haired daughter of one of the chiefs. Headhunters, big-ass snakes, large waterfalls, booby traps, skulls on spears, shrunken heads, one hell of a showdown with savages, and a lost treasure filled temple. Oh, a guy is eaten by dozens of alligators too! Has the vibe of what was to come with the cannibal films 15-16 years later (you'll see). Watch for the ‘man with snake fighting another man with snake’ sequence. Ambitious. Pierre Brice and Gillian Hills star. BA

Z420 Hercules in the Valley of Woe (61) aka: Maciste contro Ercole nella valle dei guai A comic take on the sword and sandal with a time travel element. Get over it! This is hilarious. It's bad in a good way. Two wrestling promoters (they promote midget fighters!) use a time machine and find themselves trouble in the distant past. They need the help of 'Hercules' to save them from Ghengis Khan and his hordes, and also from a giant Cyclops that puts them in a cage. Mermaids, Witches, Feats of Strength, a Minotaur Man, other animal-headed guys...more. Hercules is an unknown. Kirk Morris is Maciste. With Liana Orfei and more. BA

Q546 Il Mare (00) aka: Siworae Soapy time travel, remade as the miserably bad 'The Lake House' in 2006 in America. The sappiness here is only with a pinch of salt, the cinematography is top-notch. Letters are sent across time as one communicates from the future with someone a few years in the past and vice versa. Letters in mailboxes? May confuse millennials. LBX and English subtitles

Z470 Last Days of Gomorrah (74) aka: Die letzten Tage von Gomorrha MFTV Science Fiction from Germany! A nightmare about a society that is lost and crazed on consumption, Dead center in the madness, a woman (played by Mascha Rabben), fights against the system when her partner seems to disappear into a mysterious monstrous machine.... a machine chosen as a metaphor by the director, as a punishment, the consequences of worshipping the entertainment industry through television addiction..... Weird film with lots of prophetic wisdom put forth by the female director Helma Saanders-Brahms. With English subtitles.

Z401 Magic Serpent, The (66) aka: Kairyu daikessen Loved this as a kid, and as a fantastic fantasy film, it still stands the test of time. Ancient Japan. A Prince and a Sorcerer are engaged in battle. A head talks and flies and returns to the body, sweeping outdoor landscapes. a guy chews off his own tongue and blood comes from his mouth, flying on laser beams, a giant colorful toad monster with a big horn destroys and stomps on people (via big prop monster feet), sword fights, and finally, The Magic Serpent, an impressive Japanese monster in a throw down with fire-breathing toad monster. Simply incredible for fans of 'Majin' and 'Godzilla'. Wait! A Giant Spider is coming out of the sky! Cool. Now LBX and dubbed into English Upgrade! BA

Z419 Minotaur, the Wild Beast of Crete, The (60) aka: Teseo contro il minotauro King Mino sacrifices nubile young virgins to the Minotaur. The King has two daughters, one evil, one good (Rossana Schiaffino in a dual role). In the first 5 minutes you get the beast claiming a nice blonde, and a maiden dance with 10 or so cute women in skimpy clothing. Beautiful outdoor cinematography, excellent sets and Bava-like atmosphere in places, and a cool as hell monster created by Carlo Rambaldi (the Stan Winston of Italy). Excellent sword and sandal stab at Greek Mythology. Now LBX BA

Z404 Morel's Invention (74) aka: L'invenzione di Morel A castaway explores the island he has found himself upon and discovers it full of strange buildings and people. But they repeat their behavior day by day and completely ignore him. He falls for a woman (who also ignores him), and eventually finds out these people really are dead, and this is nothing but a giant '3-D' movie, captured by a camera, and all invented by Dr. Morel! Our castaway thinks of inserting himself into the storyline..... With English subtitles.

Z395 Princess Cinderella (41) aka: Cenerentola e il signor Bonaventura I know you all have wondered what happened to 'Cinderella' after she was rescued by the Prince. This oddball addition to the fantasy genre has Kings and Queens, creepy and funny fairy tale characters including a large-nosed witch, and an ogre-devil guy that throws little black bombs with 'Death' printed on them. Cinderella is played by Silvana Jachino who would much later make it into such peplum as 'Caesar and the Pirates' in 1962.

Z481 Sins of Lucrezia Borgia (53) aka: Lucrèce Borgia Finally with English subtitles! Lavish, lively and colorful as our ravishing beauty Lucrezia (doe-eyed Martine Carol) marries her second husband, and also takes several lovers who follow him. Scandals plague the Borgias, there are even hints at an incestuous relationship with her brother! Numerous foes are assassinated by an assortment of means, the families penchant for cruelty evident where they laugh at prisoners being tortured for entertainment and later men are hunted and killed for sport. Nice sharp color picture. Nudity from Martine Carol and later more topless women in an orgy scene! They even dump wine on a woman's breasts! For 1953, this is some explicit stuff. The locations and set designs are without equal. Castles, a midget, treacherous female.... sounds familiar. Martine Carol, a livin' doll, lived a troubled life. She tossed herself off a bridge into the Seine River in Paris in 1947. She survived. She would marry 4 times in a 16 year period. She was found dead by her fourth husband at age 46. Heart attack or intentional drug overdose? With English subtitles. BA

Z438 Typhoon Reporter (63) aka: Wind Velocity 75 Meters aka: Fûsoku nanajû-go mêtoru When a reporter is investigating a murder in Tokyo's world of construction.... the story plays out in detail and intrigue. But things are going to be out on hold! The storm hits and tears the hell out of Tokyo with nice action and destruction of miniatures. LBX and with English subtitles. BA

EXPLOITATION / SEXPLOITATION FILMS

9845 ...And Give Us Our Daily Sex (79) aka: El periscopio Bi-Sexual nurses Amiga (Laura Gemser) and Veronica (Barbara Rey) live upstairs from a couple and their sex obsessed teenage son. The wife has a lover. The boy develops a problem with his groin area (after spying on the ladies with his self-made periscope!), and they call in Amiga, who, with her nursing skills and all, sees the problem quite clearly, and she wanks the young man off right in front of his parents! That's how I spell relief! You may remember big-lipped blonde bimbo Barbara Rey from 'The Night of the Sorcerers' and 'Horror of the Zombies', Ossorio films both. BA

H992 Adventures of a Private Eye (77) aka: Mein lieber Boss, Du bist 'ne Flasche! The main Private Eye is on vacation, and his assistant Bob West (Christopher Nell) decides to do the latest investigation his way. The opening sequence is 'laugh-out-loud' stuff. These 'Adventures' films were the direct competition to the 'Confessions...' series which mostly starred Robin Askwith. This one boasts your typical nudity with beautiful women and comic situations told with tongue firmly in cheek (cheeky?). Suzy Kendall, Diana Dors, Adrienne Posta (doing a Liza Minnelli gag), Jon Pertwee and many more. + Trailer BA

T837 All the Lovin' Kinfolk (70) aka: Junge Körper - hemmungslos Two cute hillbilly cousins graduate from high school and set out to seek their fortunes in the big city and receive a sexual culture shock. Lots of soft-core sex and ample breasts. Mady Maguire, Donna Young and an unforgettable appearance from Uschi Digard as a Hooker in Black. From the director of 'Jailbait Babysitter'.

4779 Autumn Born (79) aka: Playmate Lady O. Torrid tale of a young heiress named Tara (19 year old Dorothy Stratton) who is kidnapped and locked in a room until she promises to give up her fortune. See Dorothy yell at the walls pleading for the music to stop! See Dorothy bond with a wind up toy mouse! See Dorothy look super uncomfortable as she takes a naked bath! See Dorothy in a soft-core sex scene with another woman! See Dorothy act, awfully! Sadly, Stratton never had a chance to develop her acting chops since her husband raped and murdered her when she was only 20 years old the year after this was made. BA

8829 Big Bet, The (85) aka: Nachhilfe in Sachen Liebe A day-dreaming dipshit named Chris, makes a bet with another asshole that if he can nail the new chick (the Reverend's Daughter!) he gets the assholes car. If Chris loses, asshole gets his car. There is also a time limit to 'score'! As we get closer and the clock ticks... it seems he will not be able to seal the deal.... Enter Michelle (Sylvia Kristel), the sexy neighbor that gives Chris some love advice! Also with knockout Kim Evenson and Monique Gabrielle as 'Fantasy Girl in Elevator'. Nudity of course! One scene has Georgina Spelvin raping another woman! BA

Q22 Big Gag, The (87) aka: Nipagesh Basivuv Sexploitation farce from Israel? Yep! Sort of. More like a 'Candid Camera' type rip-off. There are a couple of politically incorrect pranks, that would never fly today, but that's okay. Thankfully we have plenty of sexually incorrect comedy from the 80's to last a lifetime. In one bit a stacked blonde wearing a mini-skirt is walking along and drops her basket of apples. Men all around stop to help her, one guy peeking up her skirt! They even make the apples fall again so they can watch her pick them up again. The dogs! Sort of mild, could have been sleazier, bit still worth a look!

9856 Big Swap, The (98) aka: Let's Talk About Sex Five thirty-something couples who have known each other for some time, decide to swap partners in a one-time deal to spice things up. Things go good maybe... and everybody gets their rocks off, but one guy goes all mental, and the psychological effects of such an experiment may have a positive outcome for some, complete disaster for others. Nudity, some sexual situations and lots of frank talk. BA

L468 Black Fire (79) aka: Fuego negro aka: Sort Opror Move over 'Mandingo' this film manages to deliver some of the same impact on a shoestring budget! A rural southern area refuses to free the blacks when slavery is abolished. 'Tomorrow, we'll take the plantation!' The young blonde plantation owner's daughter is the only one sympathetic to their plight, and the blacks protect her while they kill all the white men. One scene they ride with a former slave master's head on a stick. Yvonne De Carlo is on hand as well. playing a non-violent lady of the plantation. Blacks are whipped, engage in voodoo native dancing, raped... people are killed.... Another film that would cause riots today. Quality not as good as usual. In English language and with foreign subtitles. BA

T494 Black Venus (83) aka: La vénus noire Late 19th century Paris. A sculptor who has lost his mojo finds a muse in the appearance of a beautiful black Venus (Bahamas born Josephine Jacqueline Jones a complete knockout!) The sculptor meets her at a party, takes her home, sculpts her, beds her.... But when she tries to get a bit of independence, he casts her out into the streets and she winds up turning tricks in a brothel, while the sculptor begins a drinking binge.... What now? Euro-soft-core with a tremendous budget!

Z440 Hang-Up, The (69) aka: Vice Cop 69 Sgt. Walsh (Tony Vorno) hates freaks and deviates of all kinds. In the opening sequence he (and his partner) are in drag, trying to catch some low-life's for some crime. But his heart is softened by the sultry prostitute named Angel (Sharon Matt). Sgt. Walsh, who wants to bust 'the faggots' finds himself in a compromising position, maybe a bit like Peter Boyle's 'Joe' . Tony Vorno has a short, but interesting resume of 17 films, and Sharon Matt, this would be her last film before she disappeared. A suitable sleazy crime film, nicely photographed. BA

Z469 Hurrah! The Schoolgirls are Here! (75) aka: Attenti... arrivano le collegiali!aka: Die Schulmädchen kommen A private girl's school sets some of the students loose for a few days at a seaside hotel owned by one of their parents, with an understanding that they will behave and their virtues will not be compromised. Imagine, sending these young sexy and well built young ladies into the presence of strapping young men (and middle-aged men) expecting no sexual hijinks will occur! Of course they will, and they do. Plenty of nudity from gorgeous ladies here! Orchidea de Santis and many more star! LBX and with English subtitles. BA

Z516 Keep It Up Downstairs (76) aka: Purché si faccia con gusto Masters... Mistresses... Servants.... a setting usually a bit too snotty and highbrow... but not when they are all sex-obsessed aristocrats and their equally randy house helpers! I think one of the more interesting aspects of this British sexploitation is the unusual assortment of actors. Jack Wild is Peregrine Cockshute, already in a downward spiral career-wise. Diana Dors also stars (both of these actors dead early, Wild at 52 from tongue and throat cancer, Dors from ovarian cancer aged 53). Luscious Sue Longhurst, Olivia Munday, Serreta Wilson and sex queen Mary Millington as Polly (Millington of course would kill herself a few years later at age 33). LBX BA

Z423 Passionate Demons, The (61) aka: Line Chalk one up for the Norwegians. A J.D. film from Norway! A young man battles with his father, and romances a very cute young blonde. Can she tame him with her passionate petting and kisses? What more could matter? Drinking, Rocking, Dancing, Boating..... Another hot little nympho has her eyes set on him. Will he cross the line? He is one aggressive lame-ass son of a bitch, as we will eventually learn. He strangles and kills the hot blonde. Is she really dead? What now? With English subtitles. BA

Z476 Playa Azul (82) aka: Black Sands - Am Anfang war die Liebe Sexy ladies seduce younger men while on holiday in Spain! Need I say more? How about Helga Line (older and still horny, she mentors the others), Juanita Brown and more star. In Spanish language only Helga Line would appear in 'Black Candles' next. Juanita Brown's last film. She was in 'Foxy Brown' and 'Caged Heat' and somehow wound up in this Spanish sleaze and was never seen again on camera! F.L.

J67 School Teacher, The (75) aka: L'insegnante aka: La prof donne des leçons particulières Before 'Private Lessons', here we have Edwige Fenech as a tutor to a slow-learner (played by a 20 year old guy). Fenech shows plenty of skin, and the jokes come low-brow, politically incorrect and even mean-spirited. In one of the opening scenes, boys spy on two girls who are handling their boobs, and judging them for awesomeness. The guy is so desperate to sleep with Fenech he pretends he is gay, maybe she can 'fix' him? It is only when he fakes his suicide that he finally gets lucky. LBX BA

Z523 Secrets of Love 3 and 4 (86) aka: The Secrets of Love: Three Rakish Tales Erotic tales dubbed into English language (hilariously!). Okay, P.C. freaks clear out, this picture is not for you. Come to think about it, anybody into exploitation films simply cannot be P.C. or they would probably have anxiety attacks daily! Maybe we could fix things if all the colleges in the country had mandatory showings of 'Porkys' followed by 'Hard Bodies'. Remind youth that this is their time to have fun. The Contest: Two students try to take advantage of a learned old man blessed with a beautiful wife. The Spanking: Young working girls plot to avenge herself against the Madame of the house for having her whipped bare-assed for sleeping with her lover. The Greenhouse tells the familiar story formula used frequent by Jess Franco. It is about a young servant girl named Celestine and the spirit of erotic rejuvenation that she brings into a bored, sexless, middle-aged household. The Pupil: Attends the dual seduction of an unwitting milkmaid by an aging man and his nephew.

Z483 Student Report (78) aka: Lover Girls aka: Studentinnen-Report aka: Blue Sensation aka: Some Like it Sexy A villa in Athens, Greece, is the temporary home of three extremely hot and horny studying students. They are busy getting it on when the mother of one of them shows up. One fat mama let me tell you. Butt naked in bed with their lovers, they hide the men. Luckily, fat mama finds an admirer as well. You'll howl as he tries to make love to her! He resembles a horny pygmy on an elephant! 'Mama Mia!' he exclaims, as he tries to get a mouth on that colossal hooter! Hysterical low-brow fun is had by all! Softcore with plenty of nudity and dubbed into English!

EXTREME HORROR & GORE FILMS

8376 Alien Warrior (86) aka: King of the Streets A handsome badass alien from another dimension lands on earth to combat the 'Great Evil' ... namely, street gangs, drug dealers and corrupt cops. He falls for a woman who's life goal is to teach inner-city kids to read more. Then he manages to piss off the local drug lord. who vows to destroy him, Violent rapes, car explosions, a black guy running around in his underwear sporting an Uzi, and break dancing with an awesome Casio keyboard soundtrack. Great trash. You'll laugh until you cry. BA

H974 Anemia (86) A high-ranking officer of the Italian Communist Party discovers he is a vampire and leaves his position, retreating to the abandoned residence of his deceased grandfather. There he finds the diary of his grandfather that gives him the answers he needs. Dark in atmosphere, some blood and nudity. Italian Vampire Movie with English subtitles

H975 Angel of Death: Fuck or Die (98) aka: Der Todesengel Gore and Sex collide in this one. A plethora of subplots which basically involve women either stripping or being abused, which ultimately shapes up as a battle of wills between a nude model turned lesbian assassin named Manila, and an organized crime syndicate who pimp kidnapped women. Manila is raped and left for dead, but she survives and begins her man-killing rampage! LBX and with English subtitles

Z432 Black Veil for Lisa, A (68) aka: La morte non ha sesso Corrupt Inspector (John Mills) suspects his flame-haired beauty of a wife (Luciana Paluzzi) of cheating, and hires a handsome shady thug (Robert Hoffman) to murder her. But who is the black-gloved killer that is on the loose murdering innocents? Character driven Giallo masterpiece with a really cool twist about halfway through the movie. Paluzzi is mesmerizing. Genuinely thrilling tale here of murder and intrigue. Now LBX so Upgrade! BA

Z414 Death by Invitation (71) A woman is accused and tried as a witch by angry villagers in the opening sequence. Flash forward to the future where we meet her descendant Lise. Many of the people look the same because they are also descendants. Lise (sexy Shelby Leverington in her debut) delivers some sensuality to the proceedings. She decides to avenge her ancestor by killing the descendants of the killers. Very colorful low-budget horror. Upgrade!

Z533 Donor, The (76) aka: La donneuse aka: Naked and Lustful Jean-Paul and Francoise, unable to have children, decide to go ahead with an anonymous surrogate to solve the problem. But Jean--Paul (Jean-Marie Pallardy) is obsessed with who this girl is. He finds her (Sylvia played by Willeke van Ammelrooy) and starts a torrid affair with her, cheating on his gorgeous wife (Francoise played by Beba Loncar). Seems to me they could have saved a lot of money. In any event, this will not end well for anyone. Or will it? Watch closely and you may spot a young Rutger Hauer in the bar scene. The female leads are yummy in this, take note! In English language too! BA

Z493 Exquisite Cadaver, The (69) aka: Las crueles Publisher Carlos, receives a severed hand in the mail at work. At home, his beautiful wife (Teresa Gimpera) gets a telegram which asks if he would like a forearm. She follows her husband and notices a woman in black is also trailing. The woman is Parker (Capucine), whose lesbian lover Esther (Judy Matheson) was once Carlos' mistress. and she has an axe to grind. I won't tell you the twist here, but it's pretty good. Sort of a Giallo mystery here, with a shock! From the director of 'The Blood Spattered Bride' (it would be his next film) Vicente Aranda. Capucine would jump from her eighth-story apartment Switzerland 1990 in a messy suicide, leaving behind her cats. Judy Matheson was burned at the stake in 'Twins of Evil' and also was in 'Lust for a Vampire', she says however that 'The Exquisite Cadaver' is her favorite of her films.. In Spanish and with English subtitles.

J59 Flower and Snake 5: Rope Magic (87) aka: Hana to hebi: Kyûkyoku nawa chôkyô Ramp up the sleaze on this Pinku! A sleazy guy in debt 'sells' his hot girlfriend and her step-mother to local Yakuza thugs. The gang decides to sexually torture both women in excruciating scenes that make 'I Spit on Your Grave' almost seem tame. Forced incest, vibrator/dildo torture, hot wax 'fun', rope bondage and other tortures I cannot even mention! I noticed a slight crackle on the soundtrack. Twisted sickie with inventive sadistic sexual degradation. LBX and with English subtitles. BA

4194 Hell Safari (82) aka: Invaders of the Lost Gold Maybe they should have stuck with the 'Cannibal Ferox' type plot.... but this is still worth a look, and fits nicely next to Ruggero Deodato's 'Cut and Run' or 'Massacre in Dinosaur Valley'. Opens with a group of WW2 Japanese soldiers being massacred in the jungle by cannibals as they transport gold. Nice decapitations, heads on spears, and even a spike pit. Flash-forward to the future as a group enters the jungles in search of the treasure, led by an American drunk (Stuart Whitman). The movie veers off the path of the usual, and scores points for full frontal from Laura Gemser, and Glynis Barber as Whitman's much younger love interest is stunning. Also with Woody Strode and Edmund Purdom. A nice little jungle thriller. As I write this Stuart Whitman is still alive and aged 90! BA

J36 How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman (71) aka: Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês This is a pseudo-documentary about a French mercenary who ends up as a prisoner of the Portuguese, and then is the honored guest of a cannibal tribe in the Brazilian jungles. There, he becomes part of the tribe (this plot device used in future cannibal films) and even given a hut and a wife. Then he finds out the end game celebration puts him square on the dinner table (or the dirty stench-encrusted ground as it were) because they plan to devour him in their massive ceremony. Originally banned in Brazil because of the constant nudity amongst the savages. Messy, violent, full of pathetic superstitions and bizarre customs. Here with English subtitles!

J31 Invitation to Hell (82) Not the Wes Craven film. A girl is lured to a farmhouse in the pastoral outlands to become the unwitting participant in a Satanic ritual. There are several people staying at the house, and a few end up dying gory deaths or becoming possessed by a gnarly demon. On a micro-budget, and running under an hour, this is certainly one of the weirdest and most obscure British Horror films we have seen. Was this a video nasty? Maybe. BA

J47 La llamada del Sexo (77) aka: The Call of Sex A man finds a woman that reminds him of his long lost love: his step-sister with whom he initiated his sex life. But he is married and his wife wants proof of the cheating to get a… George Hilton, Veronica Miriel, Rossy Mendoza and more star. With English subtitles BA

Z473 Night Eats the World, The (18) aka: La nuit a dévoré le monde Paris: A man goes to a party at his ex-girlfriend's building apartment to gather some of his belongings and falls asleep in her office. He awakens to a zombie apocalypse. He decides to try to wait it out and locks himself down in the apartment, about 6 or 7 stories up. Weeks later, still no hope. Fast zombies that react to sound, vicious and deadly... And another twist is coming! Robinson Crusoe in a zombie-apocalypse world. LBX and with English subtitles. BA

Z497 Normande (75) aka: La tête de Normande St-Onge Normande (Carole Laure) lives in a crazy atmosphere of dysfunction. Too many people and hangers-on in her family, all with unreasonable demands and expectations from Normande. Normande didn't sign on for this deal, and she begins to withdraw into a permanent fantasy world to cope with the harsh realities of her life. What could go wrong? In French and with English subtitles. BA

Z519 Nothing Underneath (85) aka: Sotto il vestito niente A serial killer stalks Milan, Italy, using scissors to slash and kill top models. Enter a park ranger from Wyoming, America (Tom Schanley as Bob Crane) who has arrived to keep an eye on his young pretty sister who is a model, he is her twin, they have a connection, he knows something is wrong. Too late. She has already gone missing. He dives into her world to investigate. But the killer may just be on to him. He gets help from soon-to-be-retired cop Danesi (Donald Pleasence).

The family insisted to the judge that their babysitter had claimed to have 'supernatural' powers. Here this is played out in a psycho-drama of sorts, and has some creepy moments. Downbeat and dismal. A perfect film for a gloomy afternoon. Some great performances from Alice Krige, Charlotte Rampling, Mark Strong and Sienna Guillory. LBX BA

He begins to eliminate 'enemy descendant' passengers by whopping off their heads with a machete, in yet another twist of happenstance absurdity.

Gruesome decapitations, transformations, eerie color-blotched flash-back sequences..... Mix Naschy with Ossorio.... throw in 'Horror Express' and viola! Spanish Trash Gold!

FRANCO FILMS

Q969 El Lago de las Virgenes (81) aka: Lake of Virgins A young man and his drunken grandfather go to an island seeking treasure and encounter three ethereal, nubile, siren-like girls who lives in a cave loaded with gold and treasure. The young man is obsessed, and to counter this, his grandfather takes him to a brothel when they return home. But the obsession is still there (he spills the beans), and he returns to the island, getting to score with one of the wild beauties. Bea Felder provides a nice soft-core sex sequence. Later the prostitute and a mercenary arrive on the island, looking for the gold. Really obscure Franco here. Quality not as sharp as usual for this excellent and obscure film. F.L. and slightly LBX BA

Q298 Mi Conejo es el mejor (82) Lina Romay on loan for this trash, not directed by Jess Franco, but by Ricardo Palacios the deceased prolific actor! Lina in a school uniform, gets her bare bottom whipped in the opening, by a lustful female matron, after being caught in a lesbian encounter in a secluded area between buildings.

She masturbates, and spies on her new employers as they have sex, which drives her crazy with lust. She enjoys it when her new boss uses chains and whips and takes her on the floor, HARD! Obviously a very explicit soft-core for Romay here, and a real showcase for her still in good shape body. Later a decadent orgy ensures. Lina gets her heart broke in the surprise ending. F.L. only, but easy to follow, it is very clear what motivates these characters. Slightly LBX.

He falls for the local cabaret singer amidst the chaos of betrayals and double... make that triple crosses. Good fight scenes in this one, with Craig resembling an almost prototype version of the still to come James Bond. With the ice cold Anton Diffring and the ill-fated Barbara Bates. Look for an 18 year old Yvonne Roman in an uncredited appearance. Also with Geoffrey Keen (who was so good in 'Taste the Blood of Dracula', and later of course James Bond films). As I write this Michael Craig is still kicking at age 90! Barbara Bates killed herself with carbon monoxide in her mother's garage in Denver, Colorado in 1969, the town of her birth. She was 43. BA

H989 Living Dead, The (34) aka: The Scotland Yard Mystery aka: The Case of the Missing Coffins Another forensic doctor/mad scientist running an insurance scam with a twist.

Z398 What a Whopper (61) To get money quick to avoid an eviction, a trip to Loch Ness is in order, to fake a 'Nessie' sighting.

Sidney James, Spike Milligan and cute blonde Carole Lesley star. Lesley, is 26 here. She was a nude model and a pin-up girl before her movie career. She killed herself with pills at age 38 in 1974. BA

MODERATE AND MADE FOR TV FILMS

2766 Beasts (83) A killer grizzly bear is on the loose in the Canadian Rockies. In the opening he attacks and kills a few hunters camping in the snow. Points go to the actors that wrestle the huge bear. Sorry, you wouldn't see me doing that! The lead guy (Thomas Babson) looks like a cross between Stephen King and Christopher Reeves Clark Kent, glasses and all. Kathy Christopher (from 'Snowbeast') snowbound again, packing a .44 magnum, holds up well, even while being leered at and groped by a couple of ex-cons, who are after the bounty offered for the grizzly's hide. The bear pretty much saves her from a sexual assault. Filmed outdoors and snowbound, and with a real, huge Grizzly, this is the oddest in the limited pantheon of killer bears flicks, and definitely worth a look. Spectacular! BA

SERIALS

Q741 Robinson Crusoe of Clipper Island (36) Shot on a Santa Cruz island near Santa Barbara, comes this one, starring Inuit actor Mala as Agent Ray Mala, along with Rex the Wonder Horse and Hawaiian actress Mamo Clark as Princess Melani. She played Clark Gable's squeeze the previous year in the classic 'Mutiny on the Bounty'.
