BIKERS, BITCHES AND BABES

9781    Nam Angels (89) aka: Hells Angels - Verdammt in Vietnam  Army lieutenant Calhoun (Brad Johnson) and his men are ambushed in Viet Nam by a tribal army led by a white mercenary who they see as a deity.  Hello Apocalypse Now!  Calhoun escapes, but his men are captured and considered expendable.  Calhoun recruits some bikers to ride into the territory and kill everybody!  Oh, and to rescue his men.  A higher body count than 'Commando'!  Heartwarming.  The main biker baddie from 'The Road Warrior' (Vernon Wells) has a bleached blonde mullet behind his head in a pony tail.  The poor man's Marlon Brando but who cares, this movie delivers what I expected it to do.  Listed previously in the wrong section!   BA

CLASSIC HORROR AND SCI-FI FILMS

E553 Bat Whispers, The (30) Dark stormy night isolated country mansion classic!  The master criminal known as 'The Bat' stalks the night terrifying the occupants of the mansion with chills, thrills and laughs.  Gimmick at the end as an actor asks the viewers not to reveal the identity of 'The Bat' to their friends.  I promise I won't, but will you? Early talkie classic may have inspired one man named Bob Kane to create another 'Bat' character you may be familiar with.  Kane would have been fifteen years old when this hit theaters.    Chester Morris and Una Merkel star  Upgrade!   BA

B28 Escort Girl (41) A nightclub where men pay for the company of women.  No big deal.  But you know the government gets a little uptight when people are having sex, and they're not getting a piece of the pie, I mean, a taste, well, they hate it when people are having fun, that's it.  An undercover infiltrates the operation.  A poverty-row film, an early-grind house film, seedy.  naughty, campy, a sexploitation film, a PSA for 1941 made for the equivalent of the raincoat crowd.   BA

E549 Flight That Disappeared (61) aka: Flight That Vanished   Finally Upgraded print of this science fiction classic modeled around the idea of 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.    More info in catalogue listing.   BA

E630 In the Year 2889 you will find the Day the World Ended (69) and (55) - First, after the world ends, an excellent monster designed by Paul Blaisdell terrorizes the survivors.  Richard Denning and Mike Conners star.  Classic!  At the time, there was no film like it!  Next: The remake of the same film, this time directed by Larry Buchanan.  Schlock with the same story, but one of the lamest monsters ever put to film.  When I was five years old, I could have developed a cooler mask with ten dollars.  The first film on the disc is the better of the two films, the 1955 version.   If you make it to the end of the second film without taking a break you earn two stars. 

E562 La Pica sul Pacifico (59) A goofball comedy.  Older broad Adelaide (Tina Pica) inherits an island in the Pacific after her husband dies.  On the island she is met with trepidation by the local Chieftain and his people, who will not except her because she is not married.  A convict is her only hope, but will he marry her?  Directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero who went on to direct 'So Sweet, So Dead'.  Also starring a young Elke Sommer as 'Rosanna'.  In Italian language and no subtitles.  BA

B35 Road to Ruin (34) aka: Schützet Eure Töchter  Pre-Code classic that hits on many of the taboos of society (at least, in 1933).  Smoking and drinking in high school, nude swimming, pre-marital sex, older men with younger women, (although to be fair, that is the norm in many old Hollywood films), an abortion, sexually transmitted diseases and more.  A young girl mixes with the wrong crowd and finds herself on the road to ruin.  An early J.D. film that runs quickly by at 62 minutes.  BA

F44 Shadow of the Silk Lennox, The (35) aka: L'empereur des bas-fonds  Lon Chaney Jr. as Silk Lennox, a mob boss who claims to be a respectable businessman.  The killings and robberies of his actions are protected by lawyers and others through witness intimidation.  G-Men are out to get Silk Lennox, but he remains sly like a fox.  Trivia: James Cagney never actually said 'You dirty rat' in a film, but here, Silk Lennox does indeed utter the immortal phrase.  Early Chaney Jr. before his breakout a few years later 'Of Mice and Men'.  BA

F34 Shot in the Dark, A (35) A suicidal student is found at the end of a rope.  But further examination reveals that he was already dead when the rope was placed around his neck.  Somebody penetrated the back of his skull with a needle.  A creaky old mystery film on a budget, well played out, a mystery that will keep you guessing.  Needle darts shot from a gun!  Charles Starrett (one manly man I tell you), Edward Van Sloan, Marion Shilling (one hot dame in her day) and more star.  BA

9901/L287 Slaves in Bondage (37) aka: Crusade Against Rackets  Crooks use a beauty shop to recruit the prettiest into a life of vice, sent to a whorehouse to deliver their bodies into carnal sin in the world's oldest profession.  What some may consider tame in 2023,  was daring and shocking in 1937.  The low budget actually works for the film.  A crusading reporter, boarding house guys with goofy acrobatics, hookers in their underwear (Woop!  Woop!) and more madness that pissed off grandma's and worried wives in 1937.  BA

Q59 Smashing the Spy Ring (38) Spy smasher government man John Baxter (Ralph Bellamy) and helper Eleanor Dunlap (Fay Wray) are up against Dr. L.B.  Carter and his army of thugs and goons.  A local sanitarium is run by spies.  John Baxter makes himself an amnesia patient (of sorts), in order to infiltrate the operation.  Also with Walter Kingsford.   BA

S897 Sorrows of Satan (26) A struggling writer makes a deal with the devil in this clever little film directed by D.W. Griffith.  He is promised wealth and fame beyond his wildest dreams.  But the price is he must obey only Satan.  The opening of the film depicts Satan being cast from heaven.  The film seems to have a little sympathy for the devil.  An update of the Faust legend, even though it's about 100 years old.  A relic of the Victorian age.  Some creepy stuff later when he finds his new beautiful wife at the feet of Satan.  BA

S18 South to Karanga (40) Pesky natives are uprising, like they do, at the African copper mines in Karanga.  Once the journey to Karanga begins, the film becomes a sort of 'Murder on the Karanga Express' with the focus on three men, and an exotic nurse as they travel to the location of the native uprising (I myself would be headed in the opposite direction).  A bomb threat interrupts their journey.  Charles Bickford, James Craig and Frank Reicher (Captain Englehorn in 'King Kong').  About an hour long   BA

E645 Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (77) Jacob has to say everything twice.  Even adults make fun of him.  The Hooded Fang (Alex Karras) is a wrestler on television that now runs a prison for children.  A prison Jacob  gets sent to after be railroaded by a bad judge and a crappy lawyer named Mr. Loser.  Start up the short bus.  Start up the short bus.  Is it all a dream?  The evil wrestler must be watched, so Jacob's super hero siblings give Jacob a special tracking device to see if any children are hurt in prison.   The costumes say 'Kid Power'.  Things get even stranger.  Creative off-the-wall oddity made for children that would definitely screw up a kid of this generation if they watched it.  Remade later in 1999 with Gary Busey in the Hooded Fang role.  Most say this version from 1977 is bad, but the 1999 version is a complete abomination.    BA

E479 King of the Reindeer (70) aka: Korol-olen  aka: King Stag   Russian fantasy with no subtitles.  Based on the musical play of the same name.  A king wants a wife so he can produce an heir.  Meanwhile, his minister conspires to take over the throne, because he is in love with the woman the king wants to marry.  A spell goes wrong, and their identities are switched.  Now the king cannot prove who he is!  The bride knows, and the joke is on the king.....  Lots of singing in this fantasy film.  Russian language and no subtitles.  BA 

E595 Lady Godiva of Coventry (55)  Maureen O’Hara, George Nader, Victor McLaglen and look for Clint Eastwood!  Listed before, but the damn print was not in English!  This one is!  See #H861 in catalog.  In English!  BA

E581 Sea God and Ghosts (77) aka: Long wang san tai zi  aka: Prince of the Dragon King   Kung Fu Action Fantasy Epic from Taiwan.  The flying dragon in the open looks like 'Reptilicus'!  But this is trickery, the dragon turns into human form and embarks on a magical quest.  Droughts, pearls, thieves and money.  Comical scenes and wacky encounters eventually culminate in the weakening of the Sea God through wine, poison to him alone.  The Night Pearl is sought by the wicked white bearded one.  But wait!  Back into giant snake goes the Sea God, and disappears into the sky!  Kung Fu Fighting with the others.  Finally, the Monster battle we all have been waiting for!  A flying sword and presto magico abracadabra!  Two flying snake monsters that look like somebody is whacking them around to make them look real off-screen!  They wind up in the ocean causing catastrophic flooding!  Will the good monster win?  In Mandarin with English subtitles

E606 Seven Dwarfs to the Rescue, The (51) aka: I sette nani alla riscossa   When the seven dwarfs learn that 'The Black Prince' is after the Princess Snow White (Rossana Podesta) after her Prince Charming is defeated in battle by a hostile Duke.  Take one beautiful Italian starlet, seven midgets, a devil in tights, some hilariously entertaining special effects, cool kitschy sets, swashbuckling, and funny English dubbing and this is what you get!  The Seven Dwarfs to the rescue!  One of the dwarfs from this film would make his way into 1979's infamous 'Caligula' many years later.  Rossana Podesta is sweet 17 in one of her first movies.  Her last significant role after a career in many notable films was in 1983's 'Hercules' with Lou Ferrigno.   BA

E485 Space Warriors: Battle for Earth Station S/1 (81) aka: Uchû senshi Baldios   Polluting aliens plot to trash earth!  Don't expect this fight to be clean!  An enemy so dirty they've condemned their entire planet!  Instead of cleaning up their own nuclear waste, Planet S/1 brings their dirty work to Earth!  Their military rulers want to knock us all off so that their dying world can relocate here!  Can they be stopped?  Anime 

E561 Unknown Powers (78) Three episodes of a canceled television series that featured hosts Jack Palance, Samantha Egger, Will Geer and Roscoe Lee Brown.  Paranormal and mysterious wonderings and evaluations described includes a particularly eerie segment on Cult Leader Jim Jones and his victims as he led them to the Gates of Hell with his Kool Aid.  An age where we were not as a people so jaded as we are today.  The serious becomes the trivial over time I suppose. 

EXPLOITATION & SEXPLOITATION FILMS

E499 Body Beautiful, The (97) aka: The Ultimate Attraction  Gabriella Hall (as 'Linda') tries to rescue an exercise gym from bankruptcy using a remote control device that manipulates the hormones of the members into a sex-crazed state.  A bit like 'Zapped', but far sexier, with large breasted women and soft-core sex.  Also starring porn stars Stephanie Swift and Taylor St. Claire as well as more nubile naughties. 

3683 Common Law Wife (61) After making her living as a stripper in New Orleans, Doll, moves in with her lech of an uncle, who throws out his live-in mistress, Linda (Annabelle Weenick of 'Don't Look in the Basement' and 'Keep My Grave Open').  But she says no way.  Now he has two bickering women on his hands.  But Doll has plans, the sexy little tramp is after her uncle's money.    Lacey Kelly as Baby Doll is an absolute knock-out!  Parts of this film were directed by Larry Buchanan!   BA

7258 Diary of a Space Virgin (75) aka: Girl from Starship Venus  aka: The Sexplorer    The explorer from Venus (Monika Ringwald) has come to Earth to research sex.  Unlike 'Wam Bam Thank You Space Man' which uses males, this time a horny female has arrived.  She has transformed herself into a thing of beauty, complete with responsive sensory organs, ready to explore the deepest regions of her female anatomy.  There is a planet full of willing male humans to guide her.....  Claimed to be Quentin Tarantino's favorite British film.  BA

E619 Dixie Dynamite (75) aka: Dixie Dynamite e Patsy Tritolo  A moonshiner, protected by the local sheriff (Christopher George) is killed after being betrayed.   His daughter's back on the farm are not very happy about it.  Especially when the bank, run by the same dirty businessman who had their father killed, forecloses on the property.  With nothing to lose, they go rogue and plot revenge on anybody or everybody that wronged them.  Including the bank!  The girls rob the rich to give back to the farmers.  Like Robin Hood.  Warren Oates, R.G. Armstrong and many more star in this backwoods redneck drive-in classic.  BA

C161 Dr. Minx (75) After the suspicious bulldozer death of her husband, the now widowed Dr. Carol Evans (Edy Williams) is on a screw-fest and has just dumped her latest boyfriend Gus Dolan (William Smith).  Now she is mounting a teenager who still lives with his parents, and trying to hide a dead body (who do you think she killed?) while dodging a 'Columbo' knock-off guy who is getting closer.  Watch for the sheer pleasure of gazing at Edy Williams, still a sight to behold.  In the opening we hear her orgasm and squeal as she gets it on with William Smith.  + Trailers follow the film!  BA

6171 Emmanuelle on Taboo Island (76) aka: La spiaggia del desiderio   The movie that is not included in the recent massive box set regarding the Laura Gemser films.  A shipwrecked sailor, marooned on a tropical island, inhabited by an elderly escaped convict and his two grown children, one boy and one girl (Laura Gemser).  The son gets jealous when Laura Gemser shows interest in the sailor, and no longer will play their 'special game' with him.  Somebody has to go in this twisted triangle.....  but the ending may not be what you expected.  Plenty of nudity with Laura Gemser in her prime.  BA

P208 Erotic Zen (91) The husband beds the maid.  His wife screws multiple men, and even the maid her husband is bonking is not safe from her sexual urges.  Not that anybody is complaining!  The couple are demons.  The wife must orgasm ten times before she can regain human form.  The husband hires a super stud to hopefully achieve that goal.  For him, he needs a virgin.  Luckily his beautiful new virgin servant may oblige!  Widescreen and English subtitles

W411 For Love and Money (67) Co-written by Ed Wood!  Concerning four hot-looking large-breasted models, and how they 'play' the game to reap the dollar benefits.  Industrial espionage never looked so good.  Of course the law meddles, but not before we see a whole lotta' love!  Many films only tease, this one delivers.  The girl scenes are worth seeing.  Perfect specimens!  Ed Wood wrote a pulp novel with the title 'The Sexecutives' in 1969, further expanding the idea.  Color  BA

C807 Gimme an 'F' (84) aka: T&A Academy 2  aka: The Big Cheer   Incompetent cheerleaders compete with the talented squads at Beaverview Cheerleading Camp.  Their training is very dance oriented, as is the cheerleading in this film.  The songs and routines are better than what some of the girls do now.  J.V. cheerleaders, always everybody's favorite, and not a yapper dog in the bunch, these gals are smoking hot.  Remember when Victoria Secret almost crashed their brand with fat broads and buzzard-faced chicks?  This isn't that!  Girls Girls Girls!  Meatballs III meets Porkys.  BA

F594 Girl from S.I.N.  (66) aka: 00Sex  Joyana Frederics is Poontang Plenty and boy is she ever!  While the opening strip and kill had me on the edge of my seat, I soon realized that there is no real dialogue in the film, instead a narrator who makes lewd and suggestive comments.  Okay.  There are uncomfortable moments of silence, and some weird dancing, a bit of pre-karate-sound effects technology karate, stripping down, and (the spy angle) invisibility!  Three Femme Fatales! 

E477 Girls Will Be Girls (80) aka: La settimana bianca   Middle-aged men on a ski trip spend their time trying to one up each other, competing for the ample attentions of leggy blonde Angela (Anna Maria Rizzoli) and also a sexy servant girl.  Sketches roll along at a steady pace with eye candy on display, even an indoor pool sequence, and snowy outdoor antics.  Still, getting lucky proves to be a challenge for all involved.  With so many interruptions we still get some decent nudity.  In Italian with English subtitles  BA

E629 Idlings of the Emperor, The (93) aka: Devil Woman of Tang Dynasty   A sweet and attractive peasant girl catches the eye of an emperor who determines to make her his sole concubine.  One look at her and you'll wish she were yours.  But will the emperor be the only man who experiences what it is like to have erotic soft-core sex with this buxom tasty beauty?  Torture, Sex, Nudity, Nymphomania.  English subtitles (sometimes a bit tough to read, but most are easy enough) and Widescreen

X987 Loaded Guns (75) aka: Colpo in canna   Floozy man-eating stewardess Nora Green (Ursulla Andress) arrives in Italy and finds herself involved with rival drug cartels, turning this situation to her benefit.   She is beaten and abused by various lowly scumbags , and manages to fight back, holding her own against the thuggery.  Ursulla Andress provides plenty of nudity, many highlights of the film, and at age 39, she has the body of a 25 year old.  Terrific.  A refreshing crime film with plenty of all-important nudity from one of the most beautiful women of all time.  Woody Strode is a crime boss.  From the director of 'To Be Twenty' Fernando Di Leo.  Widescreen  BA

E617 Love n' Leather Pants (75) aka: Zwei Däninnen in Lederhosen  aka: La locanda dell'allegra mutanda  This is a film from Germany dealing with a gigolo and all of the women he scores with.  There is another film from 1979 labeled 'Love in Leather Pants' but this does not fit that description.  This is loaded with soft-core sex and comic situations.  The people who dubbed this movie into English erased the credits to the film, and applied their own fake names to the direction, writing and title.  The spoken dialogue has American reference, while the sex scenes are mostly played for laughs.  Don't let that stop you, having this film will mean you are one of the few who does.  BA

E614 Oh!  You Beautiful 'Doll' (73) Cleo O'Hara is 'The Doll', a self-deluded over-the-hill actress, and admitted whore.  She is proud of her former status as the 'best c**cksucker in Hollywood!'.  Now she takes on men in 'carnal acting courses'.  Subplot involves a photographer guy who talks women out of their clothes.  Soft-core that also stars Sandy Carey. 

7522 Party Animal, The (84) Blundering college student Pondo strikes out every time he makes a move on a girl.  Maybe it's the Confederate Flag shirt?  Watching the girls go by with his buddy Studly, Pondo announces that he would sell his soul for a piece of tale.  A woman is Mephistopheles, taunting him throughout the film.  Before Pondo gets his wish, he will be dragged through some of cinema's most hilariously torturous vignettes, many crossing the line of decency.  Thank goodness.  Offensive Fun, would give a young teenager in 2023 a panic attack, but from my era, we laughed and laughed.  In one scene Pondo crashes a black party and ends up with a hair pick stuck in his forehead!  Dark and twisted comedy with a great soundtrack that includes The Buzzcocks, The Fleshtones, R.E.M., New Marines, Chelsea and more.  Whores, Punk Rockers, Male Dancers, Sexy Ladies....  BA

E632 Private Passions (84) Mark (Gavin Brannan) goes to visit his uncle Albert and his cousin Toni in Austria where Toni tries to hook him up with hookers.  Mark gets one look at this nasty blonde cow, and opts out.  Mark prefers his uncle's stepdaughter, Claire (Susanne Ashley of 'The Party Animal').  The problem? His cousin Toni is also in lust with his stepsister.  Mark is virgin, and Claire breaks his heart.  Then Claire's mother Kathrine (Sybil Danning) takes pity, seducing Mark, taking his virginity.  Happy endings? BA

K377 Rope Burn (84) Soft-core Bondage with Michelle Bauer, Cody Nicole and Margrette Patee.  Are you man enough to watch them face the rope burn?  (less than an hour long)

E604 Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman (75) aka: Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind (the VHS release title of the early 1980's) Two far-out space creatures from Uranus are sent to Earth to check out the sexual habits of our primitive culture.  These horny spacemen check it out in every imaginable combination and position.  Hookers, housewives, Hollywood starlets, belly dancers....  they all get 'checked out' if you know what I mean.  From the ship, they look like Saturday Morning sitcom lizard-like aliens in cardboard sets.  The space men have sex organs that are out of this world, and drive the women wild!  Needless to say then that everybody comes, and comes again!  Dyanne Thorne is a hooker.  Haji is a slave girl.  Also with Joyce Mandel, Tallie Cochran and Janice Karman.   BA

EXTREME HORROR AND GORE FILMS

E612 Beyond Bedlam (94) aka: Nightscare  A psychopath is being treated with an experimental drug that is supposed to cure him.  But instead, it makes him more wicked, more evil.  Not only that, now he can enter the dreams of his victims, like Freddy is so fond of doing.  Now he will terrorize his doctor (Elizabeth Hurley) and anyone who gets in his way.  A bizarre riff on what we have all seen before, from a very British angle, and Elizabeth Hurley tossed into the mix along with violent gore. 

E459 Black Belly of the Tarantula (71) aka: La tarantola dal ventre nero  Excellent Italian Giallo with some of the most beautiful Italian stars of the day.  Spa member victims are paralyzed by the killer with an acupuncturist needle to the back of the neck, then a big blade driven into their bellies and cutting while they are still alive.  The serial killer may be employed at the spa.  He wears gloves and we learn who he/she is in the end.  A persistent detective is on the case.  Now, the women involved here.  Barbara Bouchet, whose super perky buttocks automatically earn the film five stars, Barbara Bach, Claudine Auger, Annabella Incontrera and Stefania Sandrelli.   Italian language with English subtitles (or English Dub, your choice!)  BA

L163 Black Bible, The (01) aka: La Biblia Negra   Simon is orphaned when his parents die in a car accident.  He is sent packing to live with his aunt Maria (Monica Randall) in a small town in by the ocean, with cliffs and scenic views.   A very nice area, a bit isolated and creepy.  I would definitely live there.  Simon shows off his chess skills and studies hard.  His aunt is strict.  She tells Simon he can see his mother if he does as he is told.  She also seems to be talking to somebody who isn't there.  Is she a witch?  Simon finds a man walled up in the basement.  A Fire.  Mysterious books.   Widescreen  In Spanish with English subtitles

E484 Blue Jean Monster (91) aka: Jeuk ngau jai foo dik Jung Kwai   A cop is crushed during a shootout after a violent bank robbery.  Then a cat sits on his chest, lightning knocks a telephone pole on him, the electricity reanimates him with super powers, but he doesn't know it...  yet.  Fantastic spraying machine gun action, car chases and vehicular mayhem.  He gets beastly on a woman in a red playboy bunny suit, aggressively squeezing her boobs which spray him with milk!  A celebration goes off-the-rails.  The money from the earlier robbery is sought by the brutal sadistic gang.  They take the electric monster man cop's pregnant wife and daughter hostage, luring him into a trap, while she goes into labor!  Brutally violent final act!  In Cantonese with English subtitles  BA

E466 Caligula's Slaves (84) aka: Roma. L'antica chiave dei sensi   In the opening, toga people outside clap, while a man and a woman screw by a tree, while an effeminate Caligula watches.  Caligula then reaches out to embrace the man and starts to kiss him, but he bites the man's face, tearing his lip.  We see flashes of debauchery, the bit man smiles in ecstasy, hugging Caligula like a lover.  Caligula then violently strikes the man, twice.  Cue opening credits where we see crucified men, fire, and holier than thou talk, delivered by Caligula, who fancies himself a philosopher apparently.  Cemetery swordfights, an arrow to the neck, loads of nudity.....  Caligula rip-off that is much shorter than the original, black woman with whips, the staging of the fake invasion in the water and a different ending then the one endured by Malcom McDowell and Helen Mirren in the original.  In English BA

W414 Carnival of Blood (70) aka: Death Rides a Carousel  Three women are slaughtered in and around Coney Island during the carnival.  The killer has a penchant for teddy bears.  He decapitates his first victim in the ghost train.  The second is eviscerated and the third has her eyeballs plucked out.  There are red herrings all over the place.  Gimpy (played by the recently deceased Burt Young) an impaired weirdo with burn scars, is just one of the many victims.  Some over-the-top gore scenes and gags, odd electronica in the background, cool nostalgic carnival setting....  A perfect late night gore-kitsch-classic!  BA

L311 Cruel Passion (77) aka: Marquis De Sade's Justine   This is the one with Koo Stark as Justine, the innocent virginal beauty who finds herself fallen into a life of brutal sex and erotic torture.  The more she resists, the more she is pursued.  Juliette, sister of Justine, is a prostitute who rises to a position of power by freely indulging in vice, carnal pleasures of the flesh.  Koo Stark is hypnotic.  One of many films based partly on Marquis De Sade.  - This is the 97 minute version, our last version was just 94...   BA

E493 Cult, The (71) aka: The Manson Murders   aka: Tochter des Satans - 69 minutes Uncut and now (ta da!) with English subtitles for the first time!  Now we can finally see this 'lost' film and understand the plot!  Listed before as #J350, and a lengthy description in the 2020 Consolidated Catalog!    BA

Q177 Curse of Lola (05) aka: Zu zhou   A dancer is murdered, suspicion falling to her young replacement, who then runs afoul of her coworkers.  Not only that, but she is having weird visions and nightmares, and is beginning to question her boyfriend's loyalty.  Some dreamy mystery in a setting like 'Black Swan' meets Argento, the film building strength through the music, and the silence, building mood.  If you are impatient you won't enjoy it.  A slow burn.   In Cantonese with English subtitles

W415 Curse of the Headless Horseman (72) aka: Valley of the Headless Horseman   A man inherits an old cowboy ghost town from his uncle.  He grabs his girl and hippie friends and sets out to the town.  The place has a spooky legend we hear about, and a (ghostly?) headless horseman starts knocking their heads off.  The dialogue is so bad, it feels like they made it up as they went along.  There's an acid trip, and I think the director was probably tripping as well.  Uncreative narration, bad comedy sequence, wooden acting, stupid hippies.  I wish I could have been there!  With Ultra Violet as 'The Countess'!  A Scooby Doo ending.  BA

9875 Cy Warrior (89) aka: Cyborg - Il guerriero d'acciaio   Impervious to bio-weapons, unaffected by heat or cold, the Cyber Warrior is America's hope for the future.  Frank Zagarino as 'Trecibi' in this Terminator/Robocop knock-off.  Trecibi has escaped from his freezer on a military research vessel.  Soldiers are sent to destroy him, led by the sadist Hammer (Henry Silva).  Hammer is fine using heavy artillery in places crowded with civilians.  Who cares who dies!  A kid finds Trecibi injured in the woods and takes him home to his kid sister (Sherrie Rose).  The montage that follows is the cheesiest ever, as Tribeci learns how to eat hamburgers, and shop for clothes, and..  (gag) how to dance.  Don't worry!  Violent action to come!  Director Giannetto De Rossi directs!  He was mostly a makeup artist through his career, working with Fulci on 'Zombie' and Stallone on 'Rambo 3' even Swarzenegger on 'Conan the Destroyer'!  BA

F171 Dark Rider (91) All hell breaks loose when vicious mobsters discover plans for a highway to be built through a quiet town.  The goons invade the community, buying up all the land.  If you don't go along, they will force you out at gunpoint.  The sheriff is useless.  A mysterious man in black emerges from the desert.  He ain't Johnny Cash.  He is a motorcycle riding avenger on an unstoppable mission, to throw live grenades at bad people!  Action!  Joe Estevez and more star. 

4597 Dark Room, The (82) Obscure thriller from Australia!  This film explores the relationship between a middle-aged doctor, his provocative mistress and his 'disturbed' son, who follows his father around, taking pictures of the infidelity.  But his voyeurism turns psycho when he photographs them doing the nasty, exposing the pictures in his darkroom.  He wants her.  He'll ruin his father to get her!  This leads to a terrifying and emotional climax!  Anna Maria Monticelli is the mistress.  She starred with Pierce Brosnan in 1986's 'Nomads'.

W413 Libidomania (79) aka: Sexual Aberration   Regarding a variety of bizarre sexual practices, the only thing more offensive than the 79 minute cut of Libidomania is this version that features all of the things cut from the original film adding an additional 40 minutes!  This is the longest print ever of Libidomania!  Much of what you see here, things so repulsive and taboo, things so reprehensible the words cannot be found, are now being practiced in some parts of America!   Hide your wives!  Hide your children!  Jacopetti, it is time for an update.  No dice, he died in 2011.   Uncut version with English subtitles runs almost 2 hours!   BA

W399 Castle of Fu Manchu, The (69) aka: Le château de Fu Manchu  Christopher Lee in his last turn as Fu Manchu.  considered by some to be the worst in the series.  I disagree.  Fu Manchu has totally lost his mind making irrational decisions and clumsily still trying to control the world.  Now he wants to freeze the oceans.  Rosalba Neri is an assassin 'She fights like a man!".  Richard Green (again as Nayland Smith), Maria Perschy, Tsai Chin and archive footage that would make Godfrey Ho smile.  Widescreen + trailer  BA

E530 Bad Lord Byron, The (49) During the Greek War of Independence, Lord Byron (Dennis Price) falls ill during a military campaign and begins to die.  A heavenly court is convened to determine his eternal fate.  The filmmakers have already decided just 'how bad' Lord Byron actually is.  Will he be remembered as a poet and a liberator, or a misogynistic womanizer?  Flashes of life, witness to his life and more.  Lord Byron on trial for his life on his deathbed.  Also with Mai Zetterling and Joan Greenwood.  

E521 Borley Rectory (17) The past is a tapestry of secrets...  and ghosts whisper them.  The most haunted house in England is given the animated documentary-styled treatment tangled with acted vignettes covering those who lived there, and paranormal investigators experiences at the location.  An eerie telling, the chills even more profound when you consider the narrator, Julian Sands, now a ghost himself after dying at age 65 while hiking in California. 

E516 Cardboard Cavalier (49) aka: Ridder Bangebuks  A comical treatment of Cromwell history in this amusing period piece.  At first an almost serious drama showing how miserable the Protectorate was, then things go off the rails with a helpful ghost, a drag act and chaos and confusion.  Margaret Lockwood plays the heroine.  Also starring Sid Field.  Directed by Walter Forde, his last.  Also the last film of Sid Field, dropping dead of a heart attack at age 45.

E508 Chelsea Murders, The (81) A masked serial killer is racking up a body count in Chelsea.  The mask is creepy as hell, and the killings and notes have an almost Victorian edge about them, theatrical, dark.  A pretty good murder mystery, S.O.V. and obviously inspired by the 'giallo' and maybe even the slasher craze that was picking up steam here in the states.  That being said, don't look for gore, but more suspense, although the stalking and intense music is there.   Complete SIX part edition on TWO discs (counts as 2)!

E522 Funnyman (94) aka: Funny Man  Max wins a large manor house in a game of poker (against Christopher Lee!) which is actually an ancient shrine to the 'Gods of Fortune', a temple of chance and fate.  The spirit of the 'Wild Card' is 'The Joker' or if you please, 'Funnyman', and this is where he spends his time.  Other guests wind up at the mansion.  The Funnyman is thirsty for blood, creating a sort of mystical kaleidoscope of rooms, dressed like a jester, he batters bloody with a club, and one-liners.  The Funnyman also uses different British accents, and takes on different personas.  Funny gags and gore!  BA

E559 High Jump (59) An ex-circus acrobat, who now works as a TV repairman, falls in love with a 'femme fatale' (Lisa Daniely) who coaxes him into a daring heist.  Of course she is using him, her real lover is the killer behind the whole caper.  Also starring Leigh Madison, Richard Stapley and more. 

E482 How to Undress in Public Without Undue Embarrassment (65) From Victorian modesty to modern strip clubs, a comical look at nudity through the ages.  Before he was Dr.  Who, Jon Pertwee played a part here in this entertaining little British feature that runs under an hour, and does contain some nudity (although not a lot).  Christine Child and more star.

E526 Peter Cushing: For the Love of Helen (90) The immortal Peter Cushing talks to Peter Williams about his turbulent childhood, his career in theater and films, and the love of his life, his wife Helen, who died in 1971 leaving him distraught up until his death in 1994.  + Peter Cushing: A One -Way Ticket to Hollywood (89) Amazing upgrade of this insightful documentary of the great Peter Cushing with interview footage and excellent clips to many of his films. 

E531 Playing Away (87) A cricket team in a small English village invites a black cricket team from South London to a charity game and all hell breaks loose.  Comic Hell that is.  The game becomes one of anger and racial stereotypes.  The only time a black and a white reach an understanding is a scene where one of the visiting players has sex with a local girl in a graveyard.  Reflecting the political norms and attitudes of the period, mixing class struggles and all the rest into lighthearted comedy is a difficult task.  Well done.  BA

A sailor, a stripper and a boyfriend.  Who will she choose?  Steve Cochran writes, directs and stars in this film, not playing the usual tough guy villain, but a man in love.  He died before the film was released.  Because of this, he did not get final cut.  He was only 48 when he died of acute infectious edema while adrift in the Pacific with an all-girl crew.  A gruesome story, look it up.

E616 Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go, The (70) aka: Touch and Go  Directed by Burgess Meredith and he even plays character 'The Dolphin'.  James Mason plays the ruthless Mr. Go, an international blackmailer who is trying to get his hands on a laser beam that he plans to use for nefarious purposes.  Mr. Go ( a half-Chinese, half- Mexican drug lord) hires a young American deserter (Jeff Bridges!) to lure an American C.I.A. agent into a gay sex encounter, catching this on film for blackmail purposes.  I could go on, but the gist of the plot involves Buddha himself who intervenes on the behalf of humanity, possessing Mr. Go, and turning him into a 'good' man.  Lesbians, Chinese men wielding large cleavers, a go-go soundtrack at times, a man who just won't die...  Eastern Philosophy meets Batman TV show.  Be one who has seen the passion of Burgess Meredith.  But this film and it's awesome badness may haunt you forever.  Also with Jack MacGrowan (who died in 1973 after wrapping his scenes for 'The Exorcist'), Broderick Crawford and Irene Tsu. 

MODERATE AND MADE FOR TV FILMS

E529 Amazing Howard Hughes, The (77) Unlike 'The Aviator', this film gives a more complete account of the billionaire's life.  Tommy Lee Jones is excellent in his portrayal of this 'driven' man.  Interesting characters in his story include Katherine Hepburn (played by Tovah Feldshuh), Billie Dove (Lee Purcell) and others.  Genius, eccentric, innovator, billionaire.  With Ed Harris as Russ, and Susan Buckner as Jean Harlow.   Two hour version.

E411 Baby Sister (83) Phoebe Cates stars as drop-dead gorgeous dropout Annie, who falls hard for her sister's boyfriend David Mitchell (Ted Wass) when she moves in with them.  Tough choice, but in the end a 19 year old Phoebe Cates beats out the also sexy (but pushing 30) Pamela Bellwood.  Hey, sometimes things work out this way.  Maybe he can have them both?  If you are a fan of Phoebe Cates, you will love this!   BA

E592 Between Two Women (86) Farrah Fawcett tearjerker never released on DVD.  Val (Fawcett) marries Harry (Michael Nouri) after meeting her new in-laws.  She likes father-in-law Teddy, but mother-in-law Barbara (Collen Dewhurst) is a bit overbearing, an unintentional (but well-meaning) meddler.  The years pass, we see the story through Louise and her memories.  The story takes a dark turn when Louise and Henry are the caregivers of Barbara in her last days.  Get your hankies ready, the last part is a rough ride if you have family and know what it is like to experience such things. 

E641 Blinded by the Light (80) Janet Bowers (Kristy McNichol) is upset that her brother David (real-life bro of Kristy, Jimmy) has joined a whacked out cult.  She reaches out but he is sullen, vacant, morose.  As Janet tries like hell to get him out, she too begins to fall under the hypnotic spell of the brainwashers.  Coming soon after the Jim Jones headlines, and memories of Manson still ringing in our ears, this was a MFTV PSA warning of sorts.  Now of course, multiple cults have sprung up all across the country in 2023, of various interests and varieties.  Missing title, just a split second, but the movie is complete. 

E445 But I Don't Want to Get Married!  (70) Widower Walter Benjamin (Herschel Bernardi) and his two sons move to California to start again.  Next thing you know Walter has several women trying to get with him, being newly single and all.  Not a bad thing, but Walter and his sons are not ready for a new wife and mother.  But boy, when the likes of Tina Louise, Shirley Jones, Sue Lyon, Nanette Fabray, June Lockhart (ehh) and well, he could score at least, IF that is, he is up to the task.  Joyce Van Patton, I think he scores with her twice at least,.  Walter is a chick magnet!  

E610 Chaku Master (74) Bruceploitation from the Philippines!  Nice guy Bruce Ly fights constantly, battles usually involving (very loud audio effects) swinging nun Chaka!  Bad guys frame Ly but his problems are just beginning!  Rey Malonzo is Bruce Ly, and he looks like the real deal, some funny mannerisms and snap-kick jumps.  The battles escalate and before it is all over he will do battle with a fat Filipino diaper-wearing Sumo wrestler on the beach!  And still more fighting to go!  English language dubbed  BA

E579 Child of Rage (92) Rob and Jill adopt a boy and a girl.  The boy is fine, but the young girl sticks needles into the family dog until he bleeds, and she smashes the little boy's head, sending him to the emergency room.  Then she tries to stab her adoptive father with a knife while he is sleeping.  She is a child of rage.  Time for therapy, but seriously, I would cut the little bitch loose if it were me.  Mel Harris, Dwight Schultz, Ashley Peldon and Mariette Hartley star. 

E451 Dark Secret of Harvest Home, The (78) Already listed the truncated version.  This is an Upgrade of the complete version of this mini-series on two discs counts as two.  See information on this title in the catalog listed as #181.  Finally, a pretty decent looking full version! 

E439 Deadly Whispers (95) The daughter of Tom (Tony Danza) and Carol Acton (Pamela Reed) has gone missing.   The number one suspect is Tom.  Carol is a down to earth loving wife who always depended on her husband for everything, supporting him in all manner of behaviors.   The film follows the evidence in a classic whodunit style, as we get closer to the big reveal.  Could a father murder his child? A very good, intense suspenseful, even chilling MFTV.  Also with Ving Rhames and Amanda Fuller. 

E444 Every Man Needs One (72) David Chase (Ken Berry) is a male chauvinist pig.  Join the club!  But what is the deal with those pineapple drinks David? Hmmm.  He is pressured into hiring a feminist named Beth as his assistant (Connie Stevens).  Of course, she is better and smarter than he is on all counts.  David is exposed as a dumb idiot in the first few minutes of the film.  Of course, this is a feminist fantasy, at least in the standards of 1972.  Quality not as good as usual, but the only print we could find of this Connie Stevens film.  I think Beth would make a fine assistant.  Can I pick her chores? Also with Nancy Walker.  This baby has commercials from whenever it aired back in the ...  1980's? The commercials are as entertaining as the movie, especially the one for the 'Gut Buster'!  Rex Reed and Bill Harris promote 'At the Movies' ...  We'll talk again. 

E453 Feminist and the Fuzz, The (71) A comedy with elements of satire with a likable cast.  The story-line pits two 'natural' antagonists, nice guy cop (David Hartman) and cute doctor Barbara Eden, against each other.  Dialogue is woke circa 1971, easy to take because the confusion of changing times was innocent and non-threatening.  Without going on a bloated rant of the film, space demands a star list instead.  Although I do like the line from Eden when she is pulled over by Hartman.  'If I was a black man you'd have me spread eagled against that car!' I won't touch that one, she put the image out, not me.  Great dialogue.  Farrah Fawcett, Julie Newmar, Jo Anne Worley...  Penny Marshall as one of the 'Liberation Ladies', Howard Hesseman as a hippie and many more familiar faces. 

E441 Fight for Jenny, A (86) Kelsey (Lesley Ann Warren) shares custody with her ex, of their daughter, Jenny.  But when Kelsey gets with David, who is black (Philip Michael Thomas), her ex sees an opening, to get full custody.  Clearly Kelsey is a slut that lusts for black men.  Surely the courts will understand.  Outrageous entertainment of a bygone notion of prejudice put to film. 

E456 Forgotten Man, The (71) After five years in captivity,  Viet Nam POW Lt. Joe Hardy (Dennis Weaver) returns home.  Things are different.  His wife Marie (Anne Francis) thought he was dead so she got married to somebody else.  Joe's father died while he was away.  Joe has bad PTSD mixed with flashbacks of abuse by the Viet Cong.  He struggles to adjust.  He gets mixed up easily.  A landmark film, and a kick in the gut for those unaware of what some of our soldiers can go through.  Also with Lois (Deadly Blessing) Nettleton and Pamela (The Toolbox Murders) Ferdin.  Some glitches in the print. 

E442 Great American Tragedy, A (72) Brad Wilkes (George Kennedy), a middle -aged aerospace engineer, is fired without warning.  'I'm not with the company anymore.  I've been fired.  They let me go, I'm too specialized.' He is a victim of the great 'engineering recession' mainly caused because the government needed to fund the bullets for the war in Viet Nam.  Now, from riches to rags Brad's entire life and marriage to Gloria (Vera Miles) falls apart.  Also with James Woods in an early role, William Windom, Kevin McCarthy, Tony Dow and Natalie Trundy. 

E438 Guilt by Association (02) Susan Walker (Mercedes Ruehl) previously lived with her boyfriend and her 4 children.  When she found out he was a drug dealer, she kicked him out.  The film opens with the cops kicking her door down and arresting her at gunpoint.  Guilty by Association.  She is sentenced to twenty years.  This is based on a true story.  Dirty cops, dirty system, dirty laws, dirty politicians.  Intense and disturbing.  Also with Rachel McAdams in one her first roles before she hit the big time. 

E454 Hanged Man, The (64) MFTV noir filmed in color.  Better than the original, tight as a drum, filmed during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  A gangster film in which Edmond O'Brien plays a corrupt 'Jimmy Hoffa' type character.  Harry Pace (Robert Culp) is a gunman who believes his friend has been murdered and through his investigations Harry gets tangled in a web of shady labor union politics.  Cute Brenda Scott is 'Celine'.  She was married to the now deceased Andrew Prine three times.  Also with Vera Miles, Norman Fell, Edgar Bergen and J. Carrol Naish.  Seymour Cassel is a bellboy.  I also spotted Al Lettieri in a small role henchman/bodyguard.  Director Don Siegal would go on to direct 'Dirty Harry'. 

E440 In Defense of a Married Man (90) Married lawyer Laura Simmons (Judith Light) is shocked to find out her husband Robert has been cheating on her with another woman.  Especially shocked when her husband's lover is found dead.  Now she represents Tom in a court of law to get him off.  (The only way she could apparently).  But what happens when love and betrayal collide?  You tell me. 

E455 Jennifer: A Woman's Story (79) Wealthy shipbuilding company executive Donald Prince (Bradford Dillman) dies, leaving his widow Jennifer (Elizabeth Montgomery) in charge of his interests.  The board of directors tries to give her the shaft.  The story of a strong woman, dealing with men who think they can roll all over her.  But Jennifer is not having it, and her strength, spunk and moxie will show them all what a strong smart woman is all about.  Was supposed to be a series, but the spark was not there to continue.

E452 Johnny Belinda (82) Belinda (Rosanna Arquette) is a deaf mute.  William Richmond (Richard Thomas) is a visiting aid worker that gives Belinda hope, teaching her sign language.  Kyle Hager is the town redneck (Dennis Quaid, excellent in the role) that hangs with Lowell (Mickey Jones) and Hes (Robert Dryer of 'Savage Streets').  Drunken Kyle rapes Belinda outside after a party, chasing her down in the woods.  Belinda's father, John (Roberts Blossom), learns Belinda is pregnant and suspects William is the father.....   Billy Drago is 'Cutter', Candy Clark is Julie.  The word 'retarded' is used frequently, probably that word offends more people than the word 'rape' these days.  Very good rural MFTV with a surprising outcome.  A remake of a 1948 film. 

E446 My Sweet Charlie (70) Patty Duke as 17 year old Marlene, a pregnant southern runaway, bigoted, uneducated, as played here by her character.  A deserted seaside summer house on the Carolina coast becomes her refuge.  Also on the run for killing a white man, a black educated attorney named Charles Roberts (Al Freeman Jr.).  A relationship of dependence on one another between this odd couple develops.  From mutual contempt and hostility, to love.  Patty Duke won an Emmy for this one.  BA

E609 Nightstick (87) aka: Police Story  New York City cop Jack Calhoun (Bruce Fairbairn) is a cop with his own way of doing things.  Results? You could say, dead on.  A three-brother team starts to blow up buildings.  They are using nitroglycerin.  Calhoun is the only man who can stop them.  But they kidnap his girlfriend Robin (Kerrie Keane).  Action!  Familiar New York City locations include aerial shots of the World Trade Center.  It wouldn't be an 80's cop movie without some smooth jazz on the soundtrack.  Also starring Leslie Nielson, Robert Vaughn and John Vernon.  BA

E448 No Other Love (79)  Another movie where well known actors play mentally retarded people who fall in love.   Richard Thomas and Julie Kavner deliver top notch performances.  They want to hook up, permanently.  Don't get in their way!  They are highly functioning.  Language has changed, watch this with 1979 in your head, or you may have a panic attack if you judge by the language police rules of 2023.  We don't give a damn.  I'll watch the old stuff.   Decent cast includes Robert Loggia, Scott Jacoby, M. Emmett Walsh and Billy Drago.  Also look for Robert Wightman (the other John Boy!).  I would have loved to see Wightman and Thomas duke it out.  A missed opportunity that only comes once.  Julie Kavner is the voice of Marge Simpson on that long running cartoon. 

E450 Remo Williams: The Prophecy (88) Three years after the film, this pilot was made.  Chiun (Roddy McDowell in full 'Chinese' mode) feels Remo Williams (Jeffrey Meek) is slacking off, and hires an assassin to teach him a lesson.  The writers stuffed every stereotype, stock character and banality they could into the plot.  Good, this runs under an hour, and I like the absurdities, what we call entertainment!  Judy Landers stuns in an orange bathing suit.  One hot bimbo!  Watch Remo take on an entire biker gang while on roller skates!  Roddy McDowell as a Chinese guy would give people panic attacks in 2023.  Acting is acting, he does a great job.  From 'The Destroyer' novel series. 

E583 Retro Television Shows Disc One (various 1950's) Four different episodes.  1. Four Star Playhouse: Finale (53) David Niven in a dual role in this episode that also stars Martha Hyer.   2. Four Star Playhouse: Sound Off, My Love (53) Hard of hearing Martha (Merle Oberon) finds out her husband is having an affair, and planning her murder.  Also with Barbara Billingsley and Gordon Oliver.  3. Hey, Jeannie!  (56) Jeannie the Cab Driver - A carefree Scottish woman (Jeannie Carson) drives a cab in New York City.  4. Interpol Calling: Checkmate (60) David Baker and his girlfriend Diane (Barbara Shelley) rob a bank in Israel and flee to Spain and have money exchange problems as a trap is set for their capture.  (This last show is from the U.K.). 

E611 Robo Kickboxer: Power of Justice (92) aka: Rings Untouchable   The opening ring battle between a boxer and our Robocop (who looks like a guy with a motorcycle helmet wrapped in aluminum foil) ends with it all being just a nightmare, induced by injections from a doctor, trying to enhance his fighting skills.  Then another movie plot line cuts in, with an angry man busting up a woman.  Back in the ring.  The boxer has been let go because he refuses the drug.  Now desperate, he agrees to deliver cocaine.  Back to the other movie.  The girl escapes.  Is this two movies in one, or three? Co-directed by Godfrey Ho.  Oh, now I understand!  Take a shot every time you get confused!  Have plenty of booze on hand.  In English language, dubbing and actual spoken, although there are some foreign subtitles on the screen.  

E443 Something for a Lonely Man (68) MFTV western.   Dan Blocker is John Killibrew, an outcast in a small town.  John had led the people to settle here, but the railroad passed them by.  Now a train has lost a steam engine, submerged in a nearby pond.  If he can only persuade the people.....  A goof, with day-for-night shots, a cartoonish score, a town crier (did we really need those?), slapstick comedy, all cobbled together with a cast of known supporting players, probably all under contract.  Still, the backbone of America was built on this type of determination and courage, a lost element of the 21st century, where problems are created by the same people who then claim to solve them.  Don Stroud, Susan Clark, Dub Taylor, Iron Eyes Cody, Warren Oates and more. 

E449 Stillwatch (87) Patricia Traymore (Lynda Carter) is a reporter interviewing a Senator named Abigail Winslow (Angie Dickinson) with secrets earlier in her life.  Patricia needs answers to determine how her parents were murdered back in the day.  Abigail knows, and I won't spoil the plot by giving away the game.  Also with Don Murray, Barry Primus, Stuart Whitman and more.  Based on the Mary Higgins Clark novel. 

E447 Thief (71) Thief Neal Wilkinson (Richard Crenna) needs one more score to pay off his gambling debt.  Neal is also trying to get custody of his son because clearly his ex is unfit.  In between breaking into homes and ripping people off, Neal romances the very hot Jean (Angie Dickinson).  Neal is best when he is on the prowl, particularly during the final big heist.  Neal treads the line between hero, and villain.  Also with Cameron Mitchell. 

E457 Wake Me When the War is Over (69) Lonely German Baroness Marlene (Eva Gabor) hides Lt. Roger Carrington (Ken Berry) in her German mansion secret basement without telling him the war is over for almost five years.  She literally convinces him that the war is raging wildly like never before, when in fact, Germany has surrendered, and the war is over.  An amusing way to spend 74 minutes.  Martin Kosleck is the butler.  Also with Danielle De Metz, Warner Klemperer and Jim Backus. 

E571 Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol (72) Johnny Bristol has returned home after being released from a North Vietnamese POW camp.  But where is home?  He cannot find it, nor can he locate his family.  The brainwashing in the camp has shredded his mind.  A nurse falls in love with Johnny, and begins to help him find the answers.  This movie is straight out of 'The Twilight Zone' and I am surprised Rod Serling or somebody similar was not behind it.  The movie was ignored at the time, much like the country ignored the plight of the returning American soldiers from the conflict the politicians created.  As usual.  Also with Jane Alexander, Martin Sheen, Forrest Tucker and more.  Worth a look.  What an ending!   See also, 'The Forgotten Man'.  God Bless Our Troops. 

E558 Winchester '73 (67) MFTV remake of the Jimmy Stewart classic western.  A famed repeating rifle is the prize in a shooting contest.  Lin McAdam (Tom Tryon) and his no-good cousin Dakin McAdam (John Saxon) are in the contest.  Lin gets the win but the rifle is stolen and we follow the rifle as it exchanges hands.  The hunt for the thief and a shootout when he is finally cornered.  Also with BarBara Luna (she lights up the screen), Dan Duryea, John Drew Barrymore and more.

MONDO FILMS

E589 Fire of Vengeance (82) aka: Perhitungan Terakhir   After a brutal gun fight we are watching a drug deal featuring a man with a switch-blade arm.  A honeymoon is interrupted and the groom is set on fire.  That's just the beginning!  Eye-balls are gouged, useless police, snake-pit peril, brothel scrapes, gore, a school for ninjas, women smacked around, kung-fu fighting ...  A very strange and crazy Indonesian film starring Barry Prima.  Widescreen and no subtitles, no English  BA

E606 Tarkan and the Silver Saddle (70) aka: Tarkan: Gümüş Eyer   Tarkan's origin story!  Tarkan is raised by wolves after raiders kill his family, and take the all important 'Silver Saddle'.  As an adult he seeks revenge, and to put the 'Silver Saddle' in the right hands.  Sound familiar? Great (but admittedly hysterical) swordfights, funny outfits, brutal stabbings, and one cute as hell Dog (a German Shepherd) who is really part of the cast with his many scenes!  Give that dog a bone!  Starring Swedish blonde babe Eva Bender (a sorceress!) as 'Gosha' and Kartal Tibet as 'Tarkan'.  Really beautiful outdoor Turkish locations.  Very violent for a kid's film, maybe it isn't one.  English subtitles BA

E591 Whispering Soul (88) aka: Basikan Arwah    A green monster with a long tongue rips off faces in this gory Asian film which also features sorcery that causes guts inside humans to expand until they explode.  Goofy looking guys, a princess-like girl in the fog, who turns into this Aswang-like succubus.  Gory fun for all!  F.L. 

SOUTH OF THE BORDER AND MEXI MONSTER FLICKS

E594 Night of the Beasts (90) aka: Noche de Fieras   Ernesto (Hugo Stiglitz) entertains his sexy wife Isabel as they engage in sexual relations.  But his play is too rough for Isabel to handle.  He scares her.  They are in Isabel's deceased father's dark old house.  After planting seeds of fear and paranoia, Ernesto hires two men to scare his wife insane in the old mansion.  One dressed as a primitive man, the other, a creepy mummy.  A shower gurgles green, and then weird plants sprout from the shower head.  Other 'real' supernatural events occur within the mansion.  In Spanish with English subtitles  BA

WESTERNS

E514 Battle of Rogue River (54) aka: La battaglia di Fort River   Epic looking, ambitious western directed by William Castle, and produced by Sam Katzman (!).  This was Richard Dennings first film following his tangle with 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon'.  Unscrupulous men looking to profit from the Indian conflict, sabotage negotiations between the Army and the Redskins in the Oregon territories.   Martha Hyer plays a spunky frontier girl, full of sass.  The Indian makeup is applied unevenly on the white actors, kind of amusing, but not offensive.  It's a movie.  George Montgomery and more also star.  Beautiful Color Upgrade!  BA

E523 Hellfire (49) In Trucolor!  Man with his misdeeds kindles his own Hellfire!  When gamblin' man Zeb Smith (Bill Elliot) watches as a preacher man takes a bullet meant for him, he reforms, vowing to fulfill the preacher's dream of building a church.  Unable to gather donations, Zeb hunts down fugitive woman Doll Brown (Marie Windsor), also running into an old pal, Marshall Bucky McClean (Forrest Tucker).  Both men fall for the hot wildcat Doll Brown.  Also with Jim Davis, Paul Fix, Denver Pyle and many more.  BA

E507 Hellgate (52) The title is named after a prison in the New Mexico desert where Gilman S. Hanley (Sterling Hayden) is sent, after administering aid to an injured man.  In some ways mirroring the plot of 'The Prisoner of Shark Island'.  The jail is set in a desert canyon with no water, which is brought in every month.  Underground cells are carved right into the rock crevices.  Hanley redeems himself when the prison is struck with the plague.  Joan Leslie, James Arness, Ward Bond and many more star.  BA

P581 Madron (70) aka: La valle dei comanches  Western filmed in Israel!  Grumpy gunslinger Madron (Richard Boone) takes Sister Mary (Leslie Caron) under his wing after she survives a wagon train massacre by marauding Indians.  When Sister Mary takes off her head garb, she is a sexy babe!  Some pleasing violence, a cheesy song and even Paul L. Smith in a small role.  This film came out the same year as 'Two Mules for Sister Sara'.  BA

E515 Rails Into Laramie (54) aka: Révolte à Laramie   John Payne is a rebel soldier assigned by his commander to find out who is trying to stop the progress of connecting the railroad from East to West.  Sabotage is afoot.  He finds the rail workers in a town where the alcohol is plentiful and in easy supply to the men who want nothing more than to to drink drink drink.  Jefferson Harder (John Payne), the man sent to sort this mess, falls for saloon girl Lou Carter (Mari Blanchard).  Nice Color  BA

E621 Sweet Creek County War, The (79) Final film of Richard Egan before he succumbed to cancer.  A story of friendship and war.  Good guys versus bad guys in the middle of a range war.  Richard Egan and Albert Salmi did an excellent job portraying these very different characters who at first were on opposite sides of the law and later became buddies who have to depend upon each other.  Also with Nita Talbot and Slim Pickens!  Filmed in Wyoming.  BA

P208 Trinity and Bambino (95) aka: Trinità & Bambino... e adesso tocca a noi!  A resurrection of the team from series director Enzo Barboni, the last film he directed.  The saga continues with the sons!  Half-brothers Trinity and Bambino attempt to protect the small town of San Clementina.  In perfect tradition Trinity is the gunslinger, and Bambino is a grumpy two-fisted man who enjoys his Frijoles and Beans.  A rich man and his marauders are trying to clear the town out.  A comic book made plainly as homage.  Widescreen
