    Quote:
    A voice from IMDB My continuing quest to see every film that Sweden’s stunningly beautiful Christina Lindberg ever made has brought me here to this extremely rare film… The plot: Christina, on arriving in Japan, acquaints a Japanese man at the airport who looks like a sap. He takes her to his apartment where he brutally rapes her and keeps her hostage and bound in chains. Christina’s alluring beauty eventually enchants the rapist and he is soon consulting his ‘How to Stimulate a Woman’ sex book in an effort to please her… Of course, our girl exploits this weakness and manages to escape. She then finds her way to a nightclub and to cut a long story short is ganged-banged by some odd-looking characters. Christina is not having a lot of luck is she, poor girl! Read More »

  • Richard Viktorov – Moskva-Kassiopeya AKA Moscow-Cassiopeia (1974)

    1971-1980AdventureRichard ViktorovSci-FiUSSR

    Quote:
    This is, in essence, a Soviet rendition of Star Trek with a teenage crew. The story revolves around a project to send a manned spaceflight to Alpha Cassiopeia to investigate a signal received from there, and, due to the relative slowness of the fastest available engines, the trip is predicted to take something around 27 years in one direction. Therefore, a crew of teenagers is recruited – in hope than when they reach their destination, they will all be aged around 40 and capable of carrying out whatever adult actions necessary to establish First Contact. But, as always, things go awry… The storyline is split up into two parts – this is the first, dealing with the foundation of the plot and the ship’s launch.Read More »

  • Frederick R. Friedel – Lisa, Lisa AKA Axe (1974)

    1971-1980Frederick R. FriedelHorrorUSA

    Quote:
    The tagline for this movie could have been, “These psychos just raped the wrong chick!” I don’t mean to sound glib, but that is basically the entire plot of Frederick R. Friedel’s Axe, a short little nasty about two sleazeballs and their lacky who descend upon the farmhouse of a young girl and her paralyzed grandfather. None of this is to say I didn’t like Axe… Much to my surprise, I actually got a kick out of it. But this video nasty is not for everyone.Read More »

  • Daryl Duke – Payday (1973)

    Drama1971-1980CultDaryl DukeUSA

    Synopsis
    Rip Torn stars as Maury Dann, a mid-level country singer on a tour through the south. The road is Maury’s playground, and he liberally indulges in drugs, alcohol, and sexual relations with the willing women he finds along the way. But when the angry boyfriend of a woman with whom he’s had a liason with spots Maury in a restaurant, suddenly he has a bigger problem than just making sure that he gets paid. Torn turns in a strong performance as the unscrupulous performer and does a fine job singing the Shel Silverstein-penned country tunes. Payday stands as a lost gem of early 1970’s American cinema.Read More »

    Synopsis/Background wrote:
    Synopsis: The title refers both to the male sexual drive and to the fact that the hero of the movie is always tooling around Manhattan in a Lamborghini; and a villainess drag queen who tries to rid men of their sex drives! Sounds amazing, with a screenplay by Christopher Rage (who also, in drag, plays the villainess Arachne) with over 50 people in the cast – Read More »
