Don’t worry, guys, I’m calling 5 ambulances
Fridge-faced Brian Bosworth must be a real swell guy. In One Tough Bastard, Bosworth plays a character hellbent on revenge against MC Hammer (seriously). On the way he treats his foes with the utmost respect. As demonstrated here in this thoughtful scene.
All Monsters Attack (1969)
It boggles my brain that Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) cops the infamous reputation of being the worst of the Godzilla series. How could All Monsters Attack be forgotten?
Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters (1968)
Like all things, the yōkai have been stripped of their edge over the years, becoming more kid friendly with the ex-rapist kappa being a popular choice for gentle comic relief. Happily, Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters takes a darker approach.
Emmanuelle – Czech poster
Here's another one of my favourites from my collection of Czech posters...
Best worst fight scene
Linda and Abilene is a incestuous period piece shot at the Spahn Ranch around the same time Charles Manson and his loony family were using it as a residence. The film is entertaining and silly, and features a fight scene that had me choking with laughs.
Deathcheaters (1976)
Stuntmen. Saboteurs. Hellraisers! With a tagline like that who in their right mind wouldn’t want a Deathcheaters DVD for a Christmas present? That’s exactly what I thought when I gave this to my ladyfriend for Christmas and subsequently forced her to watch it that night.

The Omen – Polish poster
Regular readers of Mondo Exploito will be aware that we don’t mask our love of Polish movie posters; indeed, if you’re more than a casual a movie fan, you likely love them too. The Polish poster for 1976’s, ‘The Omen’ is one of the most disquieting I have ever seen. Staring at it is both...
Hilarious background action in The 10th Victim
I watched Elio Petri’s The 10th Victim (1965) for the first time last week, knowing nothing about it other than what was written on the back of the DVD cover. Upon reading the plot synopsis, which involves a futuristic world where characters hunt down each other in a government sanctioned sport, I did not expect...
