The Miami Connection (1987)

The Miami Connection has got to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I've seen in a while. I honestly miss movies like these. 

The premise is simple, there's a  Japanese biker gang who are bikers by day and ninjas by night. The biker ninjas are trying to control Miami in order to further their drug trade and other nefarious activities. The only thing stopping them from achieving total supremacy is a band of musicians known as DragonSound. They are all orphans, best friends and black belts in taekwondo,  capable of wrecking shop if pushed.

After a few minor squabbles with a band that used to perform at their club, DragonSound are pushed into a direct blood feud with the Miami Ninja after a member is killed in an ambush. 

 Cocaine!!!!

The movie is bad. No one is claiming it's good. This is, the music is dope. I could see myself buying the soundtrack (if bugging things were still in fashion) If nothing else, I'd watch it again just for that. Also the concept of a biker gang by day, killer Ninja squad by night is hilarious. And they have their own theme song! This movie is so 80s.    

 

 

Violence? Yes
Explosions? Of sound and karate
Nudity? Titty does make an appearance, but really, beggars can't be choosers I guess.

Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976)

***An iCheck Movies Listed Film***

Well, I could never find a good movie with all the guillotines I wanted so I dipped into the archives. Master of the flying guillotine has to have all of the guillotine I can handle....right?

Here's the quick and dirty:

Essentially, a blind grandmaster travels the country, seeking to avenge the deaths of his two disciples. All he knows is that a one armed man is responsible. So he does what any good master filed with rage would do, guillotine just about every one armed man who crosses his path and those that get in his way.

The one armed boxer is a master of his craft, but he has no desire for fame, fortune or to draw the attention of the Chinese government. He has opened a school and is persuaded to attend the tournament as a way to learn more about kung-fu outside of his own.

After the Grandmaster crashes the tournament, the one armed boxer closes his school and tells of how he defeated the two disciples. He suspects their master is coming for him and he gets ready.

///////////////

It's still a good film, but I'll never get my guillotine. *wistful sigh*

Stray Quotage:

"Was he the one armed boxer?
       No! He was just some bum!
I don't care. I intend to kill every one armed man that I come across here. "

"We all want to learn kung-fu. But we don't want to hide all our lives"

"The one armed swordsman is just a one armed chicken."

Sigh. One Armed Boxer vs Flying Guillotine. That's the original/international title and one that's more apt to the film. Despite its title it's only focus is the tournament and the one armed boxer. Shit there's just about an hour long wait until we get to their first confrontation.

I get it. The Master of the Flying Guillotine is clearly the bad guy, as realistically, you really can't go around taking people's heads, but the equation should be simple: arrive, take heads, leave. Unfortunately, the entire first half is tragically void of guillotines, minus one scene in which s chicken gets it. I'm starting to realize that I'll never get the proper amount of flying guillotine in my life. The irony is that I'll probably be killed by guillotine when it's time. 

Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes

Sweet Sweetback's Bad Assss Song (1971)

***An iCheckMovies Listed Film***

The Cast:

• Sweet Sweetback
• The Man aka Honky Devils
• The Black Community

The Situation:

After a murder, the police come down to the nearest negro community live sex show to "borrow" a man for their line up. He's just supposed to stand there and make them look good.

Sweetback is sent with the policemen and he stands by as they brutally assault anther black guy in front of him. He snaps, beats them to death and goes on the lam.

He's picked up immediately, but the community comes to his rescue and he flees once again. The police launch a city and statewide manhunt, to bring him in and Sweetback attempts to escape the state knowing he's facing certain death of the honkys catch him.

The Resolution:

He escapes because he's about as crafty as he is uppity. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 Mario van Peebles is one sorry looking mofo. And I don't mean that in the negative sense, 

I mean that like "this motherfucker just 'looks' Apologetic" sense.

Sweet Sweetback Bad Asssss Song has got to be one of the most ridiculous and pointless movies I've ever seen. This is the type of movie I would watch, then never tell anyone that I had seen it and yes I'm aware of the irony of that statement on regards to this blog. Somehow this was to be made to stick it to the man? I just don't get it. It's not about anything. A black dude beats up two white cops for beating another black dude. This leads to all the white cops in a city wide manhunt for him and all the Black folks helping him out. Funky handshakes and all. No one white can be trusted and all his problems are solved with his fists or his sex, which is literally him just laying still between a woman's legs.

I like the grindhouse/exploitation films because the shit these films could get away with could never be repeated in this era. Never. Case in point, This kid, no more than 12 is getting skins. He's told he has a Sweetback cuz his lovin is so good and he grows into a man before the end of the scene. Meaning that girl, (who is a pedophile btw) has pussy so good it can turn a boy into a man by the time he's reached his fist orgasm. Why is this movie not about her? [Seriously, a movie about cooch so good it can skip puberty and turn a boy into a full grown man? I'm bringing the beer and masturbatory aids.]

As for Sweetback, this man does nothing but lay perfectly still and somehow brings women to wildly orgasm. I figure that either his dick moves on its own and/or he's still 12 and that original pussy made him a grown baby. Seriously, wtf Melvin? Oh wait, let me guess, "you're sorry."

Aww. I can't stay mad at that. Apology accepted

Violence? Yes
Explosions? Of boredom
Nudity? Usually when someone is about to get the D.

Machete Kills (2013)

I was kinda under the impression that Machete Kills was an unnecessary sequel with a huge overblown cast. But I like Robert Rodriguez and I generally trust his judgement. When this movie landed in my lap. How could I refuse?

After a, gun battle wipes out a bunch of soldiers and mercs, Machete is somehow ridiculously accused of killing everyone.  While the local PD are trying to hang him, he gets a pardon from President Carlos Estevez who tells him that the country needs him, as a dangerous revolutionary based in Mexico, has a missile pointed at Washington D.C. that will fire if the U.S.doesn't invade Mexico and take out the cartels. Since diplomacy dictates that the U.S.cannot get directly involved, his mission is to go into Mexico, check it out and kill him if need be. For his participation, he'll have his criminal record wiped clean and will be fully instated as an American citizen.

In Mexico, he learns that the missile is wired to the Revolutionary's heartbeat and it will fire if it stops beating. The only other way it can be disarmed, is if they go back to where it was made. (U.S.A.) and they have 24hrs to do so as he's it's been armed it.

Fighting his way back across the border, Machete feels he's on to something big...

Stray Quotage:

"Motherfucker, I'm not asking if you're interested. I'm the President of the United Fucking States, man."

"Try not to be distracted by the cleavage and the hair spray. It's part of my cover."

"Boss has a message for you Machete.  

[Kills passenger]

 End of message."

"You know what this is? This is the enema I plan to fire up the ass of the United States."

"Disarm it.
There's only two men who can disarm it.
[Gunshot]
Hah. Correction, one man."

"Now, if I don't shoot you square in the face, I would be violating a contractual obligation."

"You know what you are? Vengeance. You are vengeance and vengeance never dies. It just changes targets."

"For crying out loud, will one of you well paid, well trained gentlemen, please shoot that motherfucker!
[Gunshots]
Thank you!"

Robert Rodriguez is a talented filmmaker. It's amazing to me how he managed to actually utilize each members of the large cast without dragging down the film as a whole. I feel like the bulk of people were cast to get them the exposure they need to break into more mainstream films, and the inclusion of Lady Gaga and Sofia Vergara were more of a personal thing for Rodriguez, because as we all know, "it's good to be the king." I am definitely a fan of bad guy Mel Gibson. I enjoyed Get the Gringo, but Machete Kills is different. Dude just works as a villain and it seems like he's having more fun as a bad guy in general. Dude goes full on supervillain by the end of the film. 

Machete Kills is wild, action packed and full of stars who don't overstep their roles. The story is solid, the action is awesome, Machete himself is still a badass and and I'm kinda kicking myself for not watching sooner. There's an in film trailer for Machete Kills Again...In Space, which is supposed to be the third film in the series. This entire movie builds to that sequel and I'm actually looking forward to it, knowing that it will probably never get made.

Things Machete don't do:

• Smoke
• Tweet
• Joke
• Fail

Things Machete does do:

• Text
• Love everyone
• Kill

Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? You know something, I didn't even notice. That's how well everything else worked.

Dinosaur Island (1994)

For some odd reason, Dinosaur Island is known as a cult classic. I can kinda see how and why, but really, although it has its moments, it's not an endearing film.  Everyone loves it for some reason though. Maybe it's the women. Who watches these for anything but the nubile buxom women?

The Cast:

US Army Rangers

Supple Amazons
Lesser Dinosaurs
The Great One a.k.a. A badly animated Trex

The Situation:

While a group of rangers are flying over an island, their plane suffers a mechanical failure and crashes into the ocean. They were able to raft to the nearest island, which they discover is uncharted and through exploration find that it's home to a tribe of Amazonian women and a slew of terrifying dinosaurs.

The women think they are Gods as one of the guys bears the mark of their prophesied savoir. Legend says Gods will fall from the sky, save the island from famine and go Six on one with "The Great One." As they head off to face him down, they discover that it is NOT The Rock, but a terrifying T-Rex and the job won't be as easy as they thought. 

I spent waaayy too much time making this.

The Resolution:

Dynamite to the mouth. Boom. Head off.
The island is saved, the famine is ended, the guys are hailed as heroes and the Amazons will have meat for days.

 

Stray Quotage:

She had [motions breasts]
Hands?
No!
She didn't have hands? Gross!

Men are brainless beasts.
Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will never hurt us.

We have sticks! And stones! Yeah let's break some bones!"

We're soldiers. Like your warriors.
Impossible! You're too small and fleshy to be warriors...Even men.

Violence? Yes
Explosions? One
Nudity? Uh, Yeah. Wanton nudity is the only reason these films exist.

Frogs (1972)

** Killer Frogs are #4 on the Most Wanted Killer Animal List***

When a millionaire who kills any animal that moves on his island estate refuses to mend his ways, the swamp critters mete out some amphibian justice.

Pickett Smith is nearly killed by Clint and his sister Karen during a day out on the river. They take him to their grandfather's island to dry off and invite him to their family's picnic to atone. The old man, Jason, is very impatient and is looking for a way to get rid of the frogs as they have seemingly infested his island and have become a nuisance to him and his family. He believes that man is the master of all and he has a kill em all attitude.

Pickett posits that nature is trying to get back at him, but that's quickly dismissed although the island is surrounded by frogs (a fact which the film reminds us of after and sometimes during every scene) who stare and croak ominously and his family is picked off one by one.

My main concern with a movie like this was, "How exactly will the frogs kill?"  And I got my answer. They croak in unison which is apparently just enough to give an old man a heart attack.

Here's s list of everything that kills or is implied to have killed in this movie:

Snakes, Tarantulas, Komodo Dragons, Lizards, Leeches, Alligators, Iguanas. Even a goddamn turtle got in on the action along with land (swamp?) Crabs and Birds

Here's a list of everything that hasn't:

Frogs.

The frogs were more ringleaders than killers. Every other animal seemed to be acting under their command, but I was promised killer frogs goddammit! Those other animals were supposed to be a appetizer not the meat and potatoes. I feel so cheated. Damn the 70s! With their bell bottoms and their disco. Damn you to hell!!!!

Killer Frogs were on my most wanted list. I was excited to see this. I can't even cross it off. I feel that wouldn't be fair. I can't believe how it under delivered.

Barbarian Queen (1985)

When Roman forces invade her village, violate her sister and capture her fiancé, an Amazonian queen vows revenge and sets out to liberate her people.

 As Amazonian Queen Amethea gets ready for her wedding, a group of Romans attack on horse back and although the men fight valiantly, the invaders do a lot of damage and collect a lot of new slaves. After the battle, she learns that her sister has also been kidnapped and she embarks on a path of revenge.

Revenge never looked so good...or fought so bad.

Barbarian Queen is such a crappy movie filled with bad dialogue. But that's the thing. You aren't supposed to love the dialogue, your supposed to be watching the hot Amazon women kick all sorts of ass. The sex appeal is the only reason these films were made, might as well enjoy it. Sword fights, barbarians, titty. Can't ask for much else. Okay, maybe you can ask for better dialogue. ::Shrug::

Mad Ron's Prevues From Hell (1987)

This collection cherry-picks trailers, forgotten scenes and poster art from 47 gooey oldies, including Bay of Blood and The Blood Spattered Bride.

Previews From Hell is the type of film that only works if you consider yourself a film buff and or if you like old school exploitation horror flicks. It's actually pretty straightforward. Trailers, clips and nothing more. You knew what you're getting into the minute you watch this film. Look at it as a way to be introduced to a lot of the older exploitation and cult flicks of the horror genre.

The original trailers for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead. Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS and The Last House on the Left are included and while I hadn't heard of a lot of the other films, I can't say that I'm not interested. Blood Gore tits. They have it all. And that's all I want. Plus as I've mentioned somewhere else on this blog, I like to know where these films cane from; a bit of the history and culture.

Machete (2011)

After being set-up and betrayed by the man who hired him to assassinate a Texas Senator, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss.

After being set up and exiled from Mexico, former federale Machete is living as a day laborer in Texas. When a politician begins to campaign on an anti-immigrant platform, his Public Relations Manager decides to create an event that would make the voters sympathetic to his boss's cause. He hires Machete and fucked with the wrong Mexican as he sets out for revenge nearly just as soon as he discovers he's been set up. The rest of the movie is just that. Revenge, action,  blood, explosions, titty and for some odd reason, a white dude that believes he's Mexican, but is down for the cause.

Based on a trailer that was done for the GrindHouse movie, Machete is a lot of fun. After being in several movies as Machete, the character finally gets his own taste of the spotlight and in my opinion thoroughly delivers. Dude is completely bad ass and his interactions within the scope of the film are hilarious.

The sequel is coming out soon which is essentially why I'm writing this as somewhat of a refresher. I am excited about Machete Kills, I don't love everyone in the cast, but I trust Robert Rodriguez to sort it out. Shit I wasn't expecting Jeff Fahey or Don Johnson to be as good as they were in Machete. I have faith. Plus my man Marko Zaror is in the film and I've glowingly reviewed a film or two on this here blog.

I don't know what else to say about this movie. I'm assuming everyone has seen it by now. That's really no excuse for those who haven't. Anyway, here's a trailer for Machete Kills.

Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? Yes

Sister Sarah

A bit longer than it needed to be, Nude Nuns includes all of the Grindhouse staples (Blood, guns, drugs, tits etc.), but if it wasn't for the abysmally slow pacing, I would have given it a higher score.

Machete Maidens Unleashed (2010)

Machete Maidens Unleashed is a retrospective documentary discussing the creation and expansion of the films made in the philippines. Directors, actors and other people involved in the exploitation genre help tell the story of the conception and demise genre and film projects in the exotic Asian country.

The three B's (Blood breasts and beasts) are what sold the first Pinay filmed exploitation movie, "The Blood Beast" to American audiences. After it proved to be a successful business model, they continued to follow it until the films got stale. When Roger Corman entered the scene he took the films to another level. His company built their success on the exploitation and empowerment of women. He ushered in the "Women in Prison" sub-genre and after a while, the female viewers began to see the women depicted in the films as as liberating and heroic. For all of the abuse and degradation heaped on them, by the end of the movie, those women were portrayed as action heroes and leads, which was something that wasn't done at the time. Filmmakers of the era would say that "Viewers were given the best of both worlds."

What was Learned:

It was cheaper to film there and everything was exploitable women, jungle, the army, everything.

Apocalypse Now was the biggest American Film to ever be filmed in the Philippines. 

Pam Grier was a virtual untalented and unknown casting and she's just about the most famous or prominent actress who had come from those films.

Marketing and Taglines helped to further sell these films to the masses. They even created false acting awards to sell the films (ie "International Black Belt Olympic Winner") {Eh. Wasn't real at the time.}

Since they were not bound by the MPAA, There weren't too many rules or boundaries so they often pushed barriers.

The Exploitation Genre set the standard for low budget horror. They had a lot of leeway and got away with a lot of shit that could clearly never be in the films of today. {Never}

The Big Doll House was the first Women In Prison film and set the standard the genre. The Actresses had basically went through a lot of crap in the filming of their scenes. Including living in the jungles of the Philippines, and dealing with snakes, cockroaches, torture scenes and ridiculous heat.

Genre shift went From low budget monster films to women in prison, to sci-fi, to action, to black exploitation with male and female negro leads.

Political content was the norm for a lot of the exploitation films of the 60's and 70's. 

1973 was the birth of the black exploitation films. The first one was titled "Savage."

In 1974 they combined the black exploitation film with Kung-Fu. {The rest as they say, is history.}

"White Tupac" David Carradine taught martial arts to a few of the actresses. 

Many believe that often, the trailers were better than the films themselves.

Roger Corman was/is a forefather in the genre/industry and he's started the careers of many people in Hollywood.

Once Spielberg and Lucas successfully took the exploitation formula(low budget crappy effects, blood, studio free) and made A-Films, (Jaws and Star Wars, respectively.) The genre began to knock on death's door. After Jaws, anything that even mimicked big budget films (A-films) were universally panned. Critics turned away, theaters closed and viewership declined. Once political upheaval took root in the Philippines, it became too risky to shoot and the end came after insurers stopped issuing bonds for the studios to film.

Machete Maidens is actually a pretty good documentary. Everyone came alive when talking about the genre and their films in particular. It seemed like an awesome time in cinema and one that can never be replicated. Exploitation films aren't for everyone but it's always good to learn the roots of cinema and get a peek of how movies are made. Everyone involved with this genre fondly recall their roles in it's history and that makes this one better.

American Grindhouse (2010)

This documentary explores the hidden history of the American Exploitation Film. The movie digs deep into this often overlooked category of U.S. cinema and unearths the shameless and occasionally shocking origins of this popular entertainment

American Grindhouse is presented as a straightforward account of the history of the genre, from inception to demise.

To make a long story short: 

Thomas Edison's company was the first to produce and film exploitation movies. As the works shifted from silent films to talkies, the genre boomed. Especially as this was before the infamous Hayes Code was introduced. Once the Hayes Code collapsed and sex could be shown on screen, the genre crept into to porn. With the release of Deep Throat, the softcore sex was over. The filmmakers had to either adapt or die. Hardcore sex films became the norm. Monster movies were still being produced at this time, but After the release of Jaws, the Hollywood films and the Grindhouse films began to blend into one another.
American Grindhouse reinforces the fact that with the success of Jaws, Hollywood realized that they could take B-movie monsters and present them successfully, and that eventually led to the end. Audiences, flocked to the theaters in droves to see the high budget works and like that, the appeal of the low budget film was over.

What I've Learned:

• Similar to prohibition, which banned alcohol, Once sex was banned via the Hayes Code, the genre exploded. 
• Thomas Edison's company was making exploitative films since they first produced films. (Edison was a smut peddler! Go Team Tesla!)
• The first exploitation film was released in November 24th, 1913. It was a silent film called, "A Traffic in Souls."
• Directors had to find ways to restrain themselves and be subtle in regards to the sexy while grindhouse films just blatantly put it out there. Thus the creation of Film Noire.
• These movies were not allow to be shown in Hollywood theaters, so they were shown in burlesque houses. The name Grindhouse came from the burlesque theaters as to burlesque meant to "jump and grind." (I dont' see nuthiiinnnn' wrooonnngggg...with a little jump and griiiinnddd)
• There is/was a subset of Nazi exploitation films. For a while, the nazi became the go to for images of horror, degradation, sex and murder. Since they were capable of such natural villainy. 
• Because sex was not allowed to be shown on screen, violence was An.accepted substitute, and that still stands true today. (Horrific deplorable violence is okay. As long as you don't use any naughty words!) 
• Above all, the goal was to make money and entertain.

Fred The Hammer Williamson is just about the most famous actor (male) to come out of the era.

Following Machete Maidens, I managed to check out American Grindhouse. A documentary detailing the rise and fall of the exploitation film era. As Women in Prison is a sub genre, there was some overlap, but for the most part, both of these docs and the stories within were different.

Out of Ten? 7

A good documentary for learning the history of the genre, but not as interesting or lively as Machete Maidens.

The Woman (2011)

When a successful country lawyer captures and attempts to "civilize" the last remaining member of a violent clan that has roamed the Northeast coast for decades, he puts the lives of his family in jeopardy.

Chris Cleek seems to have the perfect life. A large house, a full family, and financial security. While on a hunting trip, he comes across a woman living in the forest.From there, he comes home and orders his family to clean out his shed. The next day, after some light construction work, he comes home with the woman, fully intending on reinstating her humanity and civility. In doing so, the true nature of the family is revealed. 

The bulk of The Woman moves painfully slow as we get to see his  family who just seem off. The father seemed super creepy and sadistic from the first scene. The oldest daughter seems distraught, the son seems borderline psychotic, and his wife seems abused.

I went into this expecting a straight horror film, but this was more of an exploitation than anything else. Still, a decent movie, but one that moved too slow for my tastes.

The Big Bird Cage - 1972

An Innocent Hot chick, wrongfully imprisoned, survives horrible conditions and abuse from her captors, only to lead a revolt and serve up bloody revenge as she frees herself and maybe a few other inmates.

The story always stays the same, but this is where it all began.

Sid Haig and Pam Grier star as rebel guerrillas who plan a prison break. Pam gets herself sent to the prison to lead an escape from the inside. Once there, she immediately tries to take control of the prison which leads to a mud-fight. (yay!) Haig pretends to be a gay in order to get inside and help because Apparently the guards are gay. When the bloody revolt is at hand, no prison authority is spared. The Women even find the time to rape a guard before burning the prison down. It was bloody chaos, until the military showed up to "return order" (ie Gun. Everyone. Down)

Awesome Sauce.

The Big Bird Cage is The first  Women in Prison exploitation film and the one that influenced the genre. Not a bad film. Not a bad genre.

Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? Definitely

Women in Cages - 1971

American women prisoners in a foreign country. Sex and action.

I don't know if there's a proper way to review these films. It's a women in prison film. They usually run the same. An innocent is imprisoned and either the prisoners are sadistic or the guards are. Usually in these films shit happens until the eventual riot/escape and the heroine manages to be free.

With that being said, there's not much for me to do but wrap this up so I can get to the pictures.

Final Thoughts:

• They can't make movies like this anymore. It's just a different climate. Women have come a long way since skin flicks and society is way too sensitive.
• Pam Grier's chest is a thing of beauty. But her hair in this film is atrocious. She's in the film looking like Buckwheat with tits.

And now, pictures:

Would someone PLEASE get her a hot comb?!

Please.

Ticked off Trannies With Knives - 2010

A group of trannies are violently bashed and left for dead. The surviving ladies regain consciousness, confidence, and courage ready to seek out revenge on the ones who attacked them.

Ticked off trannies with knives is exactly that. They are transsexual, pissed, and they have knives. 

 A group of trannies are violently bashed and left for dead. The surviving ladies regain consciousness, confidence, and courage ready to seek out revenge on the ones who attacked them.

Shot exploitation style, the film at its essence serves as an LGBTQ empowerment film. In this case, transsexuals specifically and it calls back to the days of the Grindhouse film era. One thing people continue to forget about transsexuals, is that no matter how feminine they appear, they are still dudes, and they will knock you on your ass if they have to.

This is not my preferred genre, but I'm pretty opened minded with odd films and above all else, it wasn't terrible. There's a cast and crew dance party at the end of the film. Good stuff. I enjoy movies a bit more when it looks like everyone involved genuinely had fun making it.
