KILLDOZER VS NATURE - or: It was awesome! yeah, man, it blew me away

This is the band Killdozer (yes they took their name from the highly enjoyable movie KILLDOZER about a bulldozer that... kills people, haha). I first learnt about the band from reading an interview with them in an early issue of the old punk fanzine Moshable when I lived in Baron's Keep in Baron's Court around 1990. They were among my five fave bands for years and years. Their lyrics were thee best! Music for psycho killers. xD

This is an awesome fan made video for the track "Man Vs. Nature" (from the "12 Point Buck" LP):

On the television, a ship was sinking
it seemed so real, but it was just a movie
made by Irwin Allen (my, what a relief)
and on this ship was Ernest Borgnine,
brave in the face of certain death
he played a cop on a pleasure cruise
along with his wife, an ex-prostitute
Shelley Winters, she was on the ship
she was good, too- but she died
as did Gene Hackman, a preacher,
who gave his life so that others could live
he died shouting "how many more lives?!"

On the screen, the city crumbled
so realistic, but but yet another film
by the master of realism, mr. Irwin Allen
no less a man than Lorne Green, and mr. George Kennedy,
risked their lives to save the lives of strangers
their selflessness was moving
Chuck Heston was in the movie too- but he was just a ham.

On the tv, a building in flames
it was "Towering Inferno" by Irwin Allen
O.J. Simpson led the cast
in a man-against-nature fight-for-survival
it was awesome!
yeah, man, it blew me away.

Fuck today's youth! This is how it's supposed to be.

Incidentally I got the clip via Norton Records' blog, Kicksville 65. I'm sure you know Norton is run by Miriam Linna, the original drummer for The Cramps.

Mail on Sunday

Yesterday, I returned to Denmark after having spent 4 days in another Scandinavian country (yes, I'd been to Jylland once again) and found Fred Anderson's film KRAFTVERK 3714 in my mailbox. Yay! Thanks, Fred! I also got the new Fangoria, boring stuff from the dole office, and some chick's fashion magazine. If it were a question of a wrong house number but she lives in a completely different street - with a street name that sounds nothing like the name of the street I live on.
@_@

Anyhoo, I'm definitely looking forward to watching Fred's film. Check this review on Magnus' cool Cinezilla blog (since "Magnus" won't tell me who he really is [because he's some hotshot telly producer on Swedish TV] he's just gonna have to live with being "Magnus" on this blog. Most people in Sweden are called Magnus anyway).

Not coming to a screen near you...

...but it would've been pretty cool. xD.

It's grrrim up north!!

After a few yrs in London in the late 80s I went back to the north in '91. Soon after I taped this off MTV and the rest is fanzine history (i.e. I used the title for my bedroom publishing label, LOL). xD.

Ohh Hakky!

Turkish zombies

This is from the new Turkish low budget zombie movie ADA : ZOMBILERIN DUGUNU aka The Island: Wedding of Zombies. Gokay from Ciko mentioned on Cinehound that it's just been released on DVD in Turkey (the DVD includes English subs!!).

10 minutes from THE BIG BOSS PART 2 now on YouTube!

Much to my surprise the guy from Global in South Africa has now posted a 10 minute clip from Chan Chue's "sequel" to THE BIG BOSS (starring Bruce Lee) entitled THE BIG BOSS PART 2 (Tang Shan Er Xiong) from 1976!!!

The film stars Lo Lieh and Bruce Le (and shouldn't be confused with other movies that use the same title in some territories). As I reported recently I was informed by an Uncut.dk member that the South African video label guy sold off his print to a cinema in Zambia. When he put up some DVDs for sale at the kung fu forum KFC recently I asked him if I could buy a DVD or DVDR of the film. I didn't think he'd be selling copies of it since he'd sold off the print and sure enough he said no. So why he's posted the clip on YouTube... is anybody's guess. I so wish he'd just put out the film on a cheap DVD. Or even just a DVDR would do. I just wanna watch the damn film, goddammit!! It's bruceploitation!!

So check the 10 minute clip posted on top. As I've mentioned before the Global owner is sitting on a huge pile of film prints which he inherited from his father-in-law who owned one of the biggest cinemas in South Africa and throughout the last few years he's been putting out DVDs of what he reckons are the most profitable films. Mostly spaghetti westerns.

The DVDs are directly off the film prints, no restoring or anything. The Global guy isn't a film historian or film lover, or doing it for the sake of preserving or saving films but for the money. So no dough is spent on restoring anything which you'll see when you watch the clip. It's a quite scratched clip but I'm not an anal DVD geek so quite frankly I don't give a flying fuck about a few scratches here and there (and the fact that the print is English dubbed). Just gimme the bloody film. Now!

The old trailer which I've posted several times already:

Hong Kong Godfather finally here. Almost.

The violent triad HK movie HONG KONG GODFATHER is fanally being released on DVD (April 27th). Yay! Spiffy!! Ian F. has done an incisive rundown of the new disc here (including comparisons with the old Pan Media bootleg as to what was cut from that disc). And read my old post about the film here.





PS: the YouTube clips are from the old bootleg or an old video tape.
