What to do what to do

Life is choices! Should I buy this film or shouldn't I???

The only review on HKMDb says (the full review!): "Edward Li narrates this almost laughable documentary about localsuperstitions. Joyce Ngai and Lily Chung are on hand to help out and even participate in dramatic re-enactments. It kind of reminds me of a high school production."

Gee, that doesn't sound promising at all. But it DOES feature Lily Chung !!! She was queen of the nasty Category III horror films in the early 90s. She was the chick in such PROMINENT category III films as RED TO KILL, DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS, BROTHER OF DARKNESS, THE ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA!!! Those films are so vile and nasty that they're always dismissed as utter garbage by kung fu movie fans, haha. Obviously my background is in horror movies so needless to say I quite like those films.

But uhhh, what to do what to do???

Saturday Night Fright Flick Trailer (weirdness galore)

Friday Fun Trailer

Last week we saw the trailer for Jack Hill's very entertaining THE BIG DOLL HOUSE (1971) shot in the Philippines with Pam Grier & Sid Haig and produced by such prominent Filipino folks as Eddie Romero and John Ashley. According to IMDb Roger Corman and Cirio H. Santiago were in there producing too.



So this week I find it fitting to post the trailer for the follow-up; Jack Hill's THE BIG BIRD CAGE from 1972. The first time I watched the film was after I found it on VHS one summer's day in Melbourne in the early 1990s. I remember the store didn't have a whole lot of cool titles but I came out with three tapes and one of them was THE BIG BIRD CAGE (another was DRUM, which also stars Pam Grier and was on Betamax tape no less! Hmm, wonder what the last one was... hmmm...). I was lucky enough to catch (and tape) THE BIG DOLL HOUSE a couple of years later when it was screened on TNT (now called TCM).

Anyway, apart from Pam Grier this one also stars Sid Haig, and Vic Diaz is also in it. My own bet is he was probably in 95% of all Filipino exploiters that came out in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately he died a couple of years back. Among the babatious actresses we also find Anitra Ford (who was also in on of my favourites; STACEY!, also from 1973)and Carol Speed (who was "Abby" in the blaxploitation ripoff of THE EXORCIST; ABBY).

I know-I know, the internet is full of crappy YouTube stuff and life's too short to watch even just a fraction of it all but do go ahead and watch this trailer, it's mighty good fun!

More horror en español!

It's four in the morning and I think it's of utmost importance that I tell you I have just purchased even more Mexican horror movie related stuff!! I won the old rare and muy deleted video release of DR. SATAN and secondly I ordered the (probably) very exiting British book "Hispanic Horrors" (from Midnight Media). Woo-hoo!! Oh, and yesterday I bought LA NAVE DE LOS MONSTRUOS (aka The Ship Of Monsters) from 1960. I first discovered the film on Don_fofo's way cool blog Cinediondo. Check the post here and even if you don't read Spanish then at least check the cheesy screen grabs! (otherwise you could use my Bablefish translator at the bottom of this page).




The sequel DR. SATAN Y LA MAGIA NEGRA (Dr. Satan Vs. Black Magic).

Saturday night fright flick trailer

Yesterday I ordered this one and here's the SCARY tv trailer:

And now... Friday Fun Trailer!!!

You got here because of THAT???

Apart from my regular readers I also get a bunch of hits from people who land here cos they've used a search engine. And that's obviously fine, good call if they discover this blog by making a search for RAMBU or some other such worldweird movie.

However, eh, sometimes I wonder what it is in those search engines' digital heads that make them direct people here. I mean... have I really written that much about Danish porn??? Haha.

This is a list of searches people made when they were directed here yesterday (and yes I did #12 myself):

1. "en lejemorder ser tilbage"
2. bamboo porn star
3. blackmagic2
4. blackmagic2 revenge of the zombies dvd-r
5. danish porn
6. danish porn stars videos
7. danish porn trailers
8. danish porno star
9. danish pornstar
10. danish pre cert
11. filipino soft porn videos
12. flying head with intestines dangeling underneath

So amazing you'll have to lie down to absorb it!!!

I watched BRUCE AND THE SHAOLIN BRONZEMEN and... argh... my Brain is toast now! It was... quite an over-the-top excursion into pure insane cinematic madness!! HIGHLY recommended I might add!! I think it only ran 70 minutes or so but those 70 minutes... oh man! Fans of real kung fu flicks would probably hate it but as a Filipino trash film aficionado I completely loved it. My god! None of you should refrain from watching this due to its being a martial arts film or not a real Filipino exploitationer.

Oh, and the dubbing! From old HK kung fu movie tapes I'm of course used to the "ordinary" dubbing but this was different: everyone (including "Bruce Lee") had been dubbed into English... with a thick Filipino accent!! And it seemed as if the English lines had been either made on the spot or just by some translator who wasn't completely familiar with the lingo. I'm definitely gonna watch it again.

I'm gonna blow ya no matter what you say!

Hey, why ya try and blow him!! Get off!!





Killer dwarfs!





Silence! I kill you! I stare! You die!

Never-ending '87

My mum gave me a mug back in 1987 that has a calendar on it. Obviously, the calendar still says 1987 and it's quite fitting cos, well, look what I got in the mail today, LOL:

Haha, yes it's a CASSETTE TAPE!!! Sex Pistols' "Never mind the bollocks here's the Sex Pistols" album. Oh, and I also received Bobby A. Suarez' post apocalyptic MAD MAX 2 ripoff SEARCHERS OF THE WOODOO MOUNTAIN on a 1985 copyrighted video tape! Yeah, still living 20 years away from you buddy, haha.

PS: I also received the film BRUCE AND THE SHAOLIN BRONZEMEN on VHS yesterday, and both that and the above mentioned SEARCHERS OF THE WOODOO MOUNTAIN are from the Philippines and both have crazy dwarves in them (in BRONZEMEN they're nasty killer dwarves!).

Stay Chick!

Okay so I'm vain! There. I said it. Sometimes I check out how many readers I have - or rather it's not really that I give a toss about how many readers I've got but it's FUN to see where in the world those readers LIVE (for instance I get way more hits from Sweden than Denmark!).


I mean I think it's totally RAD that I have two readers in Indonesia!! And I get readers in places that I have to look up on a map to find out where is! Altho sometimes I'm a bit worried about the tiny group of readers who appear to live in UN-REGISTRED countries! Countries without names!!! Anyway, I'm rambling (way too much coffee and I just entered into my 35th awaken hour).

So, anyway, I go to Google Analytics to check out where my visitors came from today and discover that I've had about four times as many hits as I normally would, and I'm going what the fuuck. So I check out EL LOCO SITUATION and discover massive traffic from the SPIFFY Bikini Machines site. Now, Bikini Machines is a nice site to gawk at as all they do is spend their days finding cool photos to post. Beautiful posters, scans, babes, magazine covers, video covers, whatever covers, etc. And sure enough today they've posted one of my video scans (including a link) from yesterday so there's your explanation. Anyhoo, so I check some of the other scans and discover... THIS:


...the fantastic, the amazing, the babatious... THE TRASHWOMEN!!! (the name is of course a take on their male counterparts; the legendary The Trashmen who were around in the 60s)

If you've checked out my "publishing house" blog (haha) from time to time obviously you know I've had a bootleg live video of the THE TRASHWOMEN embedded in there forever cos, well, THE TRASHWOMAN are pretty AWESOME! (and yes I've got all their LP's, all three of them).

So I follow the link from Bikini Machines and get directed to STAY CHICK blog!! What it is it's cool chick garage bands, cool chicks at gigs, garage bands that aren't so chick'y but still look multo cool. I grew up on (partly) punk-rock but I must admit these dudes and dudettes dress better!! :-) :-) :-)
Fan-fucken-tastic! Haha, you gotta check it out! I'd say the blog is both cool and chic! In fact: muy chic'o mas!! Forget the language just check it out and stay chick!
