GUNS DON’T WORK!
Scarecrows is a film filled with bursts of shouting. Here's my favourite shouty bit.
Pussy from The Sopranos is eaten by a sound system
An actor's career is a roller-coaster ride. At one point in your career, you could be a featured player in one of the greatest television shows of all time. At another point, you might be getting eaten by a possessed sound system in an 80s heavy metal horror movie.
Green Inferno aka Cannibal Holocaust II (1988)
There aren't really any cannibals in Cannibal Holocaust II. It's been a few days since I've seen it so it's starting to feel like a fever dream, but I distinctly remember no on screen cannibalism.
Heroes Three – Spanish poster
Mid-punch action! Beams of light! Furious faces! Weapons! I highly recommend clicking through to see a blown up version of this out of control poster for Heroes Three!
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.
Trójkat Bermudzki – Polish poster
Although vaguely familiar with the name Wojciech Wójcikn, I know nothing about the film for which this poster was made.

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.
Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis (1988)
This movie is definitely worth a watch for any fan of Japanese effects-riddled-apocalyptic-occulty-sweeping epics.
Young Einstein (1988)
It was only a matter of time before this happened… before my childhood was dredged up in this way. The stories I could tell you about me and the Yahoo Serious trash classic, ‘Young Einstein’.
