Werner Herzog talks Dirty Harry
Harmony Korine’s Julien Donkey-Boy (1999) is demented, but I wouldn’t call it an exploitation film. However, watching it for the first time last week and enjoying it immensely, I could not resist sharing this unbelievably funny scene featuring Werner Herzog delivering an amazing description of the final scene of Dirty Harry.
Andromedia’s obnoxious musical number
Even Miike’s most loyal of minions will tell you that Andromedia (1998) is not too crash hot. To be shamefully honest, I actually kind of like it, but of the sixtyish films of his that I’ve seen, it certainly ranks low. Andromedia, a silly sci-fi soap opera, is one of Miike’s most commercial efforts and...
Sylvester Stallone’s cameo in Lucio Fulci’s Aenigma
I think the less said about this completely bizarre moment from Fulci’s Aenigma (1987) the better. Thanks to Dan for reminding me about this one.
Best gunshot reaction ever?
In response to Pierre’s immensely popular Worst gunshot reaction ever?, I give you the BEST gunshot reaction ever! Taken from Filipino classic The One Armed Executioner (1983) – available from Australia’s best provider of horror and exploitation, Monster Pictures – this clip gives us a guy who just looks plain disappointed to be shot in...
Um… what the fuck, Seagal?!
There’s no denying that Steven Seagal likes breaking necks. He also enjoys breaking arms and throwing motherfuckers through windows too. But he really, really likes breaking necks. In Urban Justice (known as Renegade Justice outside of America), Seagal lovingly demonstrates his fondness of a good neck snappin’ by paralysing/murdering several reasonably harmless lackeys. Here is...
Mr. AIDS gets shot in the dick
It’s always funny when someone gets shot in the dick. It’s especially funny when it’s in a Troma movie. In this clip from Lloyd Kaufman’s masterwork, Troma’s War, a victim of an AIDS-infected terrorist gets her revenge with a crossbow and a good aim.
Brian Bosworth feeds Fido
Stone Cold (1991) is my favourite action film ever. It’s full of jaw-dropping stunts, Lance Henriksen, great bad one-liners, violence, general stupidity and an amazingly bloody finale. It also stars Brian Bosworth – ex-football player – a casting choice which is both the film’s biggest downfall and its greatest asset. Bosworth looks ridiculous and is...
Best worst Sammo Hung cameo ever?
I won’t lie, I’m no fan of Sammo Hung. I find the guy pretty irritating. However, there’s no denying that Hung is a legend of Hong Kong cinema and a hardworking performer, choreographer, director, producer and pretty much every other film role imaginable. But even his biggest fans would shudder a little watching Hung’s hilariously...
Ultralady foreplay in Great Lady
I’ve been considering posting something from Great Lady (2010) for a while. Great Lady is a Japanese porn flick that parodies Ultraman and similar shows – the idea of a pornographic Ultraman was enough to have me squealing with excitement. I’ve not managed to sit through the entire TWO AND A FUCKING HALF HOURS of...
Seagal will take you to the bank
I was planning to post a clip from Nekromantik for this week’s clip of the week, but Daily Motion instantly rejected it! Instead, enjoy this amazing line from Hard to Kill (1990). Hard to Kill isn’t Seagal’s best, but this line seriously makes the whole movie worth watching. Thanks, Seagal!
Rest in… pieces, motherfucker!
Evil Ed (1995) is not a great film, but it is a bit of fun. To save you the trouble of seeking out the film, here is the best part (yes, it’s the ending – so, spoiler Nazis, please avoid). From the awkward (and dubbed) delivery of “rest in… [pause]… pieces, motherfucker” to the brilliant...
Basket Case 3’s police station massacre
Note: I remembered after writing this that Matt’s clip of the week from last week was also from a Henenlotter film! Oh well, the more Henenlotter the merrier! Last week, Pierre and I watched Basket Case 3 for the first time. It was the last Henenlotter film I had to see from his frustratingly miniscule...
