GUNS DON’T WORK!
Scarecrows is a film filled with bursts of shouting. Here's my favourite shouty bit.
Steele Justice (1987)
In-between Karate Kids, Hollywood sought fit to grant Martin Kove a leading role in an action film. Does Kove have the charisma to pull off a starring role? Spoiler alert: no.
Sexy dancing with Chow Yun Fat
You know what? I just don't feel Mondo Exploito has truly kicked things off in a new year until there's a Chow Yun Fat post.
An interview with Brian Yuzna
It was very daunting to speak to someone of such overwhelming achievements as Brian Yuzna. I found myself very nervous, but Brian is an excellent speaker with countless stories and a great, progressive outlook on filmmaking.
To All a Goodnight (1980)
How did America's favourite cinematic rapist come to direct a Christmas slasher? How the fuck did this happen?! I don't know, but after watching the film, I feel that perhaps it shouldn't have happened.
Ball zap
Someone getting kicked or punched in the balls automatically makes a movie better. An inappropriate laser-zap to the balls makes a movie a must-see.
Killer Party (1986)

The best fight scene in cinema history
I now know, having only seen six minutes of The Instructor, that it is the greatest film ever made. Watch as karate king Bob Chaney delivers some of the most laboured kicks and punches captured on celluloid.
School Spirit (1985)
We'll never get a movie like School Spirit again. And while that's probably a good thing, it's hard not to enjoy its total lack of scruples and singular goal to titillate and entertain in the trashiest and cheapest way possible.
Brainblast (1987)
Junkies, dodgy video effects, and a guy in a frog suit making out with a woman. Hello, Brainblast.
How to open a movie according to Traxx
The opening of any film is important. It introduces important characters, establishes the story's world and its rules, and, perhaps most importantly, sets the film's tone. I'd be hard pressed to name film that meets that criteria better than Traxx.
