Exploitation Recommendation Corner - Page 2

lfvw has great prices, just not what im looking for. Revok is still around and where I picked up Braindead, great shit, just not a huge selection. Video search of miami is also still up and running, doesn't have those flicks. The one with the most promise and has a huge selection is called "Video Screams" but their search feature is of course down at the moment.

Has anyone seen "Blood Spattered Bride?"

Women in Cages (trailer) This one is out of print, but going for approx 30 bucks on Amazon. Anyone seen it? Worth it? The trailer looks pretty damn fun.

Wow there's now like 70 more movies I need to watch..I haven't had a backlog like this in a while. I think tonight I'll check out an Ilsa sequel and maybe Vanishing point if I have some time.

Ahem..you wouldn't happen to have a completely on the up and up solution to my problem in trying to find this one?

The Big Bird Cage - Roger Corman and Pam Grier come together to make a hilarious and kick ass fun flick here. Out of everything I watched, this one was probably the most downright enjoyable. Broads fighting, broads fighting in mud, broads fighting in mud with torn clothes, perverted dogs, gay stereotypes, and over the top warden WITHOUT the disturbing torture scenes we're so familiar with make this one an easy recommendation.

My only region free player sucks pretty bad, and my swedish sucks worse..so I'll try to hold out for the not dated but being worked on synapse (i think) release of this one..unless anyone would happen to stumble across it on a website. I've gotten good word from a DVD Maniac forum poster that just for the hell carries it, so I may get it from there. This is the second site I've emailed about it and so far no one has responded. These guys usually that slow to get back to someone? It kind of scares me to order at all.

Has anyone ordered from horrortheatervideo.com? They have some good titles and cheap prices, but I haven't heard them recommended by anyone.

I think the better question is that if italian crime counts, what would be the Godfather of "Women in Prison/sexploitation" and "Nazisploitation" flicks?

Emanuelle in America - This one is a movie that kept popping up in recommendations, and after hearing that a horse was jerked off in the movie, I had to check it out. I'm sorry I did. This is mostly copied from my IMDB review but I added some curse words.

This really seems like the directors had a bunch of ideas and then tried to work a story around it, and then after scripting and shooting the first half, they took an entirely different direction for the second. After about an hour of boring Cinemax style softcore porn with one out of left field beastiality scene, I was beginning to get bored. Then all of the sudden, the movie goes hardcore. It is quite strange because it seems all previous scenes went out of their way to keep the sex strictly Cinemax and then get as graphic as your average pornography. Ten minutes after that the movie takes another strange turn and edges ever so lightly into the world of snuff. It takes a lot to disturb me, but the images used in this part of the movie put even Ilsa to shame.

All of that is well and good for this renowned exploitation film, even with the strange contrast of the light opening half with the decidedly heavy second, HOWEVER we run into a huge problem with the story. The acting is passable for this type of flick, I didn't expect Oscar nomination worthy performances. The story, if you want to call it that, was definitely an afterthought, as Emanuelle is an undercover reporter. Just what her assignment is is never clear, it appears to be some kind of expose on sex clubs, and SPOILER SPOILER in the end is never resolved. As a matter of fact, I don't think any particular storyline here was solved. We are basically watching an excuse to see this one woman sleep with as many people as possible, and other people sleep with each other too, and then some scenes with branding, rapes, hook fucking, and barbed wire dildos. SPOILER END.

Overall I can't recommend this movie for exploitation fans. There are movies that manage to squeeze all of this action in with a better plot and a fun time. This movie became a chore to sit through up until the last act, and then the ending blew all the good will that came from it. Stick to your Ilsa and Pam Grier prison flicks for your fill of this type of fare.

haha I woke my wife up laughing about that..I wish they were real.

Pervert! - Even though this one is recent, I still consider it an exploitation film, so here are my thoughts. It's hard to criticize a movie for going over the top too much if it aims for just that, but quite a bit of the jokes here are a bit easy, though there are a few gems, including the last chick's one sentence on homosexuality that had me rolling. The broads in this movie are hot as hell, but may not be your cup of tea if you are into anorexic chicks, and by god they are on display constantly. It's as if the director had an every 3 minute boob quota to fill. There is a pretty light slasher mystery going on here as the cast is literally about 5 people, and the solution is rediculous..but anyone watching this and expecting a hollywood ending shouldn't be watching this any way. A few cool gore effects including one instance of my personal favorite hose of blood decapitation effect. The production values are low, the dialogue is bad, the story is an excuse to show boobs, it doesn't ooze cool like some other sexploitation-esque flicks, and about 70 percent of the jokes are way over the top, but somehow over all this, this movie has enough lighthearted charm and big natural boobs to overcome, and gets a recommended rating from me.

My personal favorite is the revenge part with the slow kid..it illustrates to me how much her character has been fucked with and the lengths she's willing to go to make it as right as possible. Anyone seen "Turkish I spit on your grave"?

Ms. 45 - A mute woman has the misfortune to be raped twice by two completely unrelated attackers within the span of what seems to be an hour and goes nuts. Then she kills a bunch of people. The problem here is how dead serious this movie takes itself. Usually in a revenge flick, I like to be able to enjoy the revenge killings, but with all but the last few kills, the people that Ms. 45 exacts revenge on really have nothing to do with her, and thus really don't hold any weight. I'd say this plot was an excuse to show people killed in creative ways..but it isn't creative or gory. This movie contains 0 boobs, bad gore effects. It's sole plus is the nun sequence in the end. I can not recommend this one.

I had typed a long rebuttal here but then I realized I have no idea what you mean..and how is there a feminist bend to this movie? The only difference between this one and the few others I have seen is that instead of just killing people that wronged her, she just kills random people. While that would seem to make sense, it just didn't translate into anything interesting after the initial kill, it seemed like after she broke down, she didn't have any more character movement and there really wasn't a plot to progress. It isn't a matter of liking the killings or rooting for the main character, it's just that after that pretty interesting beginning, it became a chore to keep interested.

It actually does make a lot of sense. I hadn't looked at it in the light that she was just killing people who wrong women in general. Also I think in watching this long line of movies and expecting to be shocked I was pretty much spoiled and surprised when this one hit. I have softened my stance on the movie since that first reaction, but I may have to watch again with a different disposition, and not in between hot summer in the city and dirty mary crazy larry.

Don't let the tread die! I just put in a huge order for some DVD-R action:

Exponerad, Rape Squad, Centerfold Girls, Swingin Barmaids, Student Teachers, Chained Heat, Schoolgirls in Chains, Barbed Wire Dolls, Women of Hell's Island, Women of Cell Block 7, Red Nights of the Gestapo, Island of Lost Girls, Caged Women, Washing Machine, Blood Spattered Bride, and Torso

Ill give site reviews once they are delivered.

Watched Rolling Thunder on Showtime last night..that movie kicked all kinds of ass. It caught me off guard though, because it is an actual good movie.
