New Wave Hookers – US poster
The New Wave Hookers series became quite popular in the mid-eighties and still enjoys a certain cult following. The content of the films in question is not as important to my designer mind as the posters.
Bruce Willis punches up Vernon Wells
So why I am featuring a clip from a mediocre film starring Bruce Willis on Mondo Exploito? Well, on the receiving end of Bruce's beating is none other than Australia's second best man, Vernon Wells!
Computer car drag race!
I watched Computer Beach Party last week. I'm still recovering. A nightmarish experience of bad comedy, this film is a definite must-see for all connoisseurs of horrible shit.
Godzilla – Pakistani poster
Okay, this is easily the most ridiculous poster in my collection — an enormous and absolutely outrageous Pakistani poster for 1984's Godzilla!
Kathleen Wilhoite’s creative insults
Wilhoite pumps out some of the most gloriously creative insults I've ever heard. I can't decide on my favourite. It's either "dinosaur dork" or "jizzum breath".
Pandemonium (1987)
Pandemonium is all a bit too much. At times I felt like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Eyes forced open, burping and panicking, as a constant stream of mania spilled into my face.
Man gorily transforms into insectoid rapist alien
Tim Kincaid's Breeders is a magical movie full of bad acting, 80s boobs, and insectoid rapist aliens. I highly recommend checking it out. Maybe this short scene of chest-tearing transformation will wet your appetite?
Loose Screws aka Screwballs II (1985)
It was like aliens with no understanding of human beings had recreated a school counsellor's transcripts of male teenage fantasies through film and using the 80s as an aesthetic reference. Loose Screws is a fucking nightmare. It is amazing.
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.
Over the Top (1987)
Years after Rocky Balboa punched his ways into our hearts and John Rambo shot his load in a few guys, Sylvester Stallone brought to the world his cinematic ode to arm-fucking.
The Chain Reaction (1980)
A fast drive into paradise turns into a nuclear nightmare – an enthralling tagline to an entertaining eco-thriller. The Chain Reaction features the kind of elements modern Australian cinema lacks. Thrills, spills, car chases and Steve Bisley’s junk.

Beyond this official list of 39 films was a list of 33 more films that were ultimately non prosecuted (despite some effort). The following films are also noteworthy for the inclusion of several Italian horror heavyweights, such as Argento, Bava and Fulci. Find...
