Hallucination scene in Fortress
About a week ago, I was chatting with Mondo’s head honcho, Dave, about the film, Fortress, which he had just posted a review of. I hadn’t read the review in question yet, so immediately assumed it was the 1992 film of the same name starring the inimitable, Christopher Lambert. We had been discussing it for...
Horrible dubbing in Seagal’s Attack Force
The best thing about bad ADR in a Steven Seagal DTV vehicle is that they don’t even bother to get someone that sounds like him. By far the worst (best) of Seagal’s ill-matched post-production voices can be heard in the amazingly shit Attack Force (2006). There’s so many great scenes of shoddy ADR that I...
Rowdy Roddy Piper hates poorly made monster costumes
Rowdy Roddy Piper fights a poorly made monster costume in Hell Comes to Frogtown. One of several poor films made in the 80s and 90s starring popular wrestlers of the time. [youtube=http://youtu.be/fEDwb5Zi7pw&w=540]
Double fuckin’ Trouble
If you are yet to experience the joy of Peter and David Paul – the musclebound, mullet sporting twin brothers who starred in such classics as Ruggero “Cannibal Holocaust” Deodato’s The Barbarian Brothers (1987) and the ingeniously titled The Twin Sitters (1994) – then do yourself a favour and seek out Double Trouble (1992). Double...
How to help your fellow man according to The Pig Keeper’s Daughter
Bethel Buckalew’s classic 1972 sleaze-fest, ‘The Pig Keeper’s Daughter’ contains so many scenes worthy of entry into ‘Clip of the Week’. Unfortunately most of them will never make it past YouTube’s ‘sex is bad’ policy. The following, beautiful scene walks a fine line, but I think it may just sneak through.

Manic melting vampires in Adventures of Electric Rod Boy
Shinya Tsukamoto’s Adventures of Electric Rod Boy (1987) plays out like a warmup for Tetsuo, The Iron Man (1989). It has the same manic energy with its blinding editing and use of animation, but in tone it has more in common with a Nobuhiko Obayashi film than the Tetsuo series. For Tsukamoto fans, this is...
Toilet friendships from Ilsa: The Wicked Warden
A truly beautiful scene depicting friendships in a women’s prison courtesy of Jess Franco’s 1977 classic, “Ilsa: The Wicked Warden”. You either love the Ilsa films or you don’t. I love them. [youtube=http://youtu.be/ezDnYKoq7EU&w=540]
Steven Seagal fights a ladyboy
It has been a while since I’ve posted any Seagal silliness, so here he is fighting a Thai ladyboy in Belly of the Beast (2003) – probably the funniest Seagal movie title after Today You Die (2005). Enjoy?
No vegetables, no dessert!
Pierre (fellow Mondo Exploito writer) recently endured Sleepwalkers (1992), a Stephen King adaptation by the awful Mick Garris, in a Balinese hotel room. His description of a few key scenes has made me really want to see it. He sent me this magical clip as a teaser:
Business lunch turns sour
The last poster of the week was for Slugs (1988) – or Slugs: The Movie as it is sometimes (hilariously) titled – a masterpiece of trash and stupidity. Slugs has the uncanny ability to be both brilliantly dumb and genuinely repulsive. The scene below is one of my favourite examples of this.
Cannibal Campout’s opening scene
Jon McBride’s Cannibal Campout (1988) is one of the better known shot-on-video productions of the late 80s and with good reason. Cannibal Campout is both hilarious and surprisingly disgusting. While it is cheap beyond belief, it’s obvious McBride and crew put a lot of love and effort when shooting it, leaving us a very entertaining...
Birthday bloodbath in Rabid Grannies
Belgium horror-comedy Rabid Grannies (1988) is fairly infamous for its outrageous gore scenes. Sadly, the red stuff has been hacked out of most DVD releases. The only version, as far as I know, that is entirely uncut is a cruddy print with Dutch subtitles burnt in. It can be found on the Dutch and German...
