  • Rino Di Silvestro – Diario segreto da un carcere femminile AKA Women in Cell Block 7 (1973)

    1971-1980CrimeExploitationItalyRino Di Silvestro

    Although this is basically a WIP movie, it differs greatly from both the popular Corman produced US/Filipino versions and the much sicker European variant typified by the work of Jess Franco. It is a mid-70’s Italian film, so about half of it is a crime thriller with the usual car chases and violent Mafia intrigue involving a missing load of heroin. The WIP subplot comes in when the daughter of kidnapped Mafia boss (the not-even-remotely-Italian-looking Anita Strindberg)goes undercover in a woman’s prison to protect and get information from the “new fish” (Jenny Tamburi), whose dead boyfriend was transporting the heroin. However, this surprisingly complex plot still leads to the usual shower scenes, catfights, lesbian groping, and everything else audiences have come to expect from these type of films.Read More »

    1971-1980EroticaExploitationGail PalmerUSA

    SYNOPSIS
    Debbie, a lily-white virgin, is abducted by a gang of black men being paid by whites to start a race riot. After violating her in a Cadillac, the men take her to a country cabin. Duke, the leader, takes possession of her but then loses her in a poker game. The violence escalates to a full throttled climax. Filled with stark, brutal imagery from start to finish, Hot Summer In The City is a haunting film you won’t soon forget. The characters are so believable that it seems like a documentary. Lisa Baker’s sexy screen presence is mute and ghostlike.Read More »

  • Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco Prosperi – Africa addio AKA Farewell Africa (1966)

    1961-1970DocumentaryExploitationFranco ProsperiGualtiero JacopettiItaly

    “What the camera sees it films pitilessly, without sympathy, without taking sides,” it begins. “This film only says farewell to the old Africa and gives the world a picture of its agony.” As colonialism collapsed in 1960s Africa, Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi rushed to the Dark Continent to record the horrifying battle for control that followed. Here was a world now ruled by rebels and refugees, plunderers and poachers, mercenaries and murderers, a land suddenly aflame with brutality, racism and unspeakable slaughter. At the risk of their own lives, the filmmakers’ cameras captured it all. The result is a daring and disturbing work that ranks among the greatest achievements in documentary cinema, an experience that remains as shocking – and shockingly relevant – as it was 40 years ago. This is AFRICA BLOOD AND GUTS!Read More »

  • Russ Meyer – Up! AKA Russ Meyer’s Up (1976)

    1971-1980ComedyExploitationRuss MeyerUSA

    This kicks off with the murder of one Adolf Schwartz (who bears a striking resemblance to another famous Adolf) by placing a ravenous piranha fish in his bathtub. Who did it? No-one knows or cares, as they’re too busy being distracted by busty Margo Winchester, who hitch-hikes into# town and gets involved with all the local men. It all ends with a series of complicated plot twists that reveal that just about everyone is really someone else. And if it gets too confusing, Russ Meyer helpfully arranges for a one- woman nude Greek chorus to pop up at intervals to explain what’s going on.Read More »

  • Russ Meyer – Pandora Peaks (2002)

    2001-2010DocumentaryExploitationRuss MeyerUSA

    Adult cinema director Russ Meyer returns to the screen for his first time in 20 years with this documentary about big-breasted (Triple H cup) strip dancer Pandora Peaks. Meyer combines biographical info on the chesty exhibitionist with plenty of Peaks’ sexy routines, as well as snippets of his own cinematic history. Reminiscent of the director’s earlier Mondo Topless, the film is a collision of rapidly moving montage sequences that supply acres of skin along with Meyer’s own lecherous sense of humor. The pneumatic Peaks is shown dancing in dusty desert locales, drinking at a German Oktoberfest, and enjoying a stimulating workout on her Trimax machine. Read More »
