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...
End of the Wicked (1999)
Nigerian and Ghanian movie trailers have become somewhat of an internet phenomenon in the past few years. With their nonsensical dialogue and narration screamed at fever pitch, absurd video effects and general lack of adherence to the basic rules of filmmaking, they’ve captured the hearts of many an internet surfer. If you’re yet to join...
5 scenes that traumatised me as a child
WARNING: Some of these contain spoilers! Most notably, the Turner and Hooch one! ALSO! I get the feeling a lot of these will be removed for copyright reasons, so this post may be nothing but dead links in a few months… or days… Matt Revert is taking a lovely wee holiday this week, so I...
Savage Streets (1984)
SAVAGE STREETS 1984, Danny Steinmann Apparently in the 1980s high school could be the most amazing 24/7 orgy of sex and hijinks as seen in classics like Screwballs and Porky’s. Alternatively, high school could also be a nightmarish existence, where beatings, murder, drugs and rape were commonplace as seen in films such as Class of...
Silver Saddle (1978)
The name “Lucio Fulci” is synonymous with horror. And for good reason. Fulci made a lot of amazing horror films. But, as I’ve written many times before on Mondo Exploito, Fulci was more than just a horror director and dipped his toes in almost every genre imaginable. Fulci made three Westerns in his career –...
Lips of Blood – French posters
I’m a Jean Rollin fanboy – my Rollin Starter Pack can be found here – and my favourite of his work is Lips of Blood (1975). I’m very lucky that Lips of Blood has not one but two fantastic posters from its native France. Too bad I’ll never get my greedy hands on these –...
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...
Subway Serial Rape (1985)
Japanese perverts and rapists have a strange obsession with the subway. Most folks even outside of Japan will have heard tales of girls being molested on crowded trains in Tokyo as they cry for help and receive none from the passengers. The subway in Tokyo is the perfect place for a creep to conduct his...
Exterminator 2 (1984)
When we think about University professors, it’s not uncommon for images of d-grade 80s action films to accompany the thought. The two undeniably go hand-in-hand. And when we think about d-grade 80s action films, there is only one that understandably comes to mind… Mark Buntzman’s 1984 classic, ‘Exterminator 2’. In ‘Exterminator 2’ John Eastland is back, wielding his...
Peacock King (1988)
PEACOCK KING original title: Kujaku ô 1988, Ngai Choi Lam Only in Hong Kong could a movie with such a stupid name be ridiculously awesome. From Ngai Choi Lam, director of popular HK nasties Story of Ricky and Her Vengeance, comes the special effects and martial arts joyride that is Peacock King, or The Peacock...
Russ Meyer
It was extremely difficult picking my five favourites of Russ Meyer’s filmography. Meyer – the gigantic-mammary-loving auteur – was one hell of a consistent filmmaker. Of the twenty-plus films he made – and I really do mean made; he not only directed but wrote, produced, shot and edited the bulk of his work – not...
