D.A.R.Y.L. – Czech poster
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a Czech poster. Here’s another one I picked up while in Prague – an incredible poster for the mid-80s and family-friendly sci-fi flick, D.A.R.Y.L.. Movie: D.A.R.Y.L. Director: Simon Wincer Country of movie: USA/UK Year of movie: 1985 Country of poster: Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic
How to swear like a bad guy
When Nicole Kidman and her BMX buddies steal walkie-talkies in Brian Trenchard-Smith's teen classic BMX Bandits, it infuriates some hardened criminals. But this reaction from terrifying tough man (David Argue) is utterly chilling.
Shock ‘Em Dead (1991)
Sometimes I watch a film I know nothing about and wonder why the hell it isn’t more talked about. That includes films I’ve discussed on Mondo Exploito. Trepanator is one, and Aerobicide to a lesser degree. Shock ‘Em Dead is definitely in this category. While it has a cult following of sorts, it hasn’t received...
The Joy of Torture 2: Oxen Split Torturing (1976)
With the amount of horrible shit I’ve subjected myself to, I’m amazed that I’m still, on occasion, shocked by a film. When I say “shocked”, I don’t mean that I find myself a weeping mess, or furious and offended. No, normally my eyes widen a little, and the thought “why do I watch this stuff?”...
Don’t Drink the Water – US poster
I am smitten with this poster for Woody Allen’s 1994 TV movie, Don’t Drink the Water. It is a homage to jazz art of the 30s with a blend of sci fi typography from the 50s. There is nothing about it I don’t like. It blends a sense of fun and style while sitting far...
Owl murder!

Great White Death (1981)
I remember when I first heard of Shark Week. I was on holiday in New Zealand, the place I was staying in had the Discovery Channel – a rare treat for me. It happened to be Shark Week, and it was that point I realised I was not alone in my obsession. In fact, I...
Running from the Guns (1987)
Running from the Guns, the seldom-seen Australian crime caper from the late eighties, has almost everything you want in a buddy/car chase film. It contains fast things and furious things. In fact it reminds me of that car movie franchise that has both fast and furious things.
Someone Behind the Door – US poster
Last week I picked up a cheap set of films starring the great Charles Bronson. The set features three films I have never seen, so needless to say, I’m excited. The back cover of this cheap set features microscopic images of the poster for each film. Even in stamp-sized from, the poster for one film,...
Best phone conversation in a movie. Ever.
Chances are you’ve already seen this video, as it just recently blew the fuck up on reddit. Before you see dupes all over the place, know that HiveFunnies posted it first – a seriously entertaining YouTube channel. I have no clue what film this clip is from, but it is truly amazing…

Battle Girl: The Living Dead in Tokyo Bay (1991)
Kazuo ‘Gaira’ Komizu a one of the first of the wave of Japanese directors to make graphic and shocking cinema in a sterile mainstream sea of mediocrity.
