Comedy
*ANDY WARHOL’S BAD
– Totally outrageous domestic satire in the John Water’s
vein. The highlight is when a pissed off Mom throws her infant
out of a sky scraper window, splattering the pedestrians below.
A sick, twisted gem! (A)
*BADI: THE TURKISH E.T. (198?)- No English
- Okay, E.T. sucks, but they get it right this time by making
the little fucker an even more cheapjack creation. And why
is the Dad running around chasing kids with coal tongs in
this soon to be classic? Buy it and find out! Freakin hilarious!
(B+)
*THE BITCH – Joan Collins made some
bonerizing soft smut in the seventies (before she became a
household name) that is still sleazy and fun today. Here she
is, you guessed it, a Rich Bitch fucking her way through the
countryside! I have fond memories of this one from Skinemax
when I was but a wee lad. (A)
*DYNAMEN – DUBBED – Ultra silly
redubbing of a Japanese monster/superhero show. Ran on night
flight during the eighties then showed up on syndicated TV
for a while. (B)
*ENDURANCE – Really wacky and violent
Japanese game show where the contestants see who can endure
the most heinous tortures for the whopping grand prize of…a
trip to California! See dudes get bowling balls rammed up
the ass, Raw brain eating, lots of nut cracking, nipple scorching
and Tabasco sauce eating. How stupid can people be? Buy Endurance
and find out! (B+)
*THE FAT SPY (1965) - Nearly Lost Jane Mansfield
madcap spy caper. No she is not the title character but the
typical femme fatale blonde bombshell. (B)
*FUNHOUSE FEVER – Another trailer/clip
collection with trash and sleaze from everywhere. Has clips
from several of Sam "EVIL DEAD" Raimi’s super
8 shorts. Hosted by a barely legal STEVE BUSCEMI! With Bonus
Feature Your Alcohol I.Q.!(B+)
GOOD-BYE CRUEL WORLD (1981) - Edgy sketch
comedy is woven into one very UN-PC storyline about death
and suicide. The nasty edge to the proceedings will appeal
to fans of the dark side especially well. The movie attempts
a bit of William Castle type nostalgia with "Audience
Tests" for certain scenes. How much you wanna bet that
the only outcome was the ones we see? (A-)
*LEGEND OF THE SUPERHEROES – Really
embarrassing late seventies TV specials that have all the
DC comics heroes together for a celebrity roast hosted by
ED MCMAHON! The second special is a pilot for a proposed series
that thankfully never happened. With Burt ward and Adam West
as well as a host of really hard up actors collecting paychecks.
A real treat of bad TV! (C+)
*MONDO ELVIS – 30 minute short documentary
about lunatic Elvis worshipers. This is one of the movies
that shows you that real life is way weirder than the movies.
$10.00 for this short on its own. (A-
*NIGHT OF THE DAWN OF THE DAY OF THE RETURN OF THE
FLESHEATING SUBHUMANOID, HELLBOUND LIVING DEAD, PART 2
– Some bozo took NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and redubbed
it with semi inspired comedy. It actually works way better
than it has any right too. In fact it is damned funny. Watch
for JJ North dancing in one of the breaks. (A-)
*THE NIGHT THEY ROBBED BIG BERTHA’S
- Insane hicksploitation from the deep, deep south that spun
many a white boy into a masturbatory frenzy in the 70’s.
Bertha’s is the biggest brothel in town until a group
of hot rodding wacko’s decide to rob her and then lots
of crazy chases and crashes ensue that cause women to drop
their clothes a lot. This was a big time double bill with
SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT all through the drive in era. (B+)
*NOSTRIL PICKER – British bad taste
gore movie about a booger picken spaz who finds a way to turn
into a girl at will. So he enrolls in high school to ogle
the nubile flesh. But the spell starts driving him batty causing
him to kill, kill, kill! (B)
*RAPEMAN – SUBTITLED, LTBX, JAPAN
– Sick superhero comedy about a masked avenger who rapes
bad women for their crimes. Hey I don’t make this shit
I just sell it! Though the idea is repellent, the flick is
so well made that it is hard to take seriously. Its more like
a ribald episode of Benny Hill (though far dirtier) than the
freaky flick it sounds like. Still, you have to be 21 to order!
(B)
RESURRECTION OF MICHAEL MYERS – NO ENGLISH
– Outstanding fan produced, Dutch splatterfest that
has all the popular killers trying to off one another! In
many ways far better than any of the official sequels to these
flicks! Only Forty Five minutes long so some extras stuff
is on the end of the tape to fill it out. (B)
*ROCKULA – Late eighties comedy musical
about a teenage vampire who only wants to save the reincarnation
of the woman he loves. With Bo Diddley, Thomas Dolby, Toni
Basil and Dean Cameron (Chainsaw in SUMMER SCHOOL) as the
hapless vampire. Very sweet and a whole lot of fun, with spectacularly
cheesy eighties songs. (A)
*SEX & ZEN – LTBX, SUBTITLED, HONG KONG
– UPGRADE- Its boner time! Very sexy comedy
from Hong Kong about a self styled stud who gets a transplanted
horsed dick then leaves his gorgeous wife behind to go on
a cross country fuck-a-thon. The flute scene alone is worth
the price; with the busty beauty Amy Yip. You gotta be 21
to order! (A+)
SHE’S BACK – Horrendous and
unfunny comedy starring Carrie Fisher. Why should you care?
Because it was written by Buddy "Combat Shock" Giovanazzo,
though the film was taken away from him and butchered. (A)
*STATIC (1985) - Rock Video maestro Mark
Romanek directed this counter culture comedy, dealing with
TV addiction. Very surreal and visual this was a definite
signpost of his work to come (such as the video for CLOSER
from NIN). (B+)
*TURKISH STAR WARS – ENGLISH SUBS–
But you wont need it, you know the story, George Lucas ripped
it off from LORD OF THE RINGS! But you’ve never seen
it like this! With kung fu fights, big furry monsters that
look like Sesame Street refugees, zero budget and actual clips
stolen from the original film! This is the ultimate party
movie! (B)
