The Real Bruce Lee (1977)

Ebony, Ivory and Jade (1979)
A terrible c-version of James Bond with bad acting (especially by the stiff Bert Convy) and laughable plot holes. The pointless musical interludes merely makes it clear to us that the content of this disaster of a movie is remarkably…
The Terrornauts (1967)
The Terrornauts which looks like it was shot on a budget for a real and not Walt Disney high school musical, is one of the quirkiest science fiction films ever made. That’s in fact part of its charm, a Star…
Vampire Hookers (1978)
Amiable horny sailors Tom Buckley (likable Bruce Fairbairn) and Terry Wayne (the equally engaging Trey Wilson of “Raising Arizona” fame) are looking for some female action while on shore leave in the Philippines. The duo run afoul of droll vampire…
Teenagers from Outer Space (1959)
This film is a prime example of the low budget 1950s B movie sci-fi. This movie is the 50s and that’s the best reason of why you should see it. Anyone who is interested in 50s sci-fi, has to see…
The Phantom Speaks (1945)
When the film begins, Harvey Bogardus (Tom Powers) kills a man in cold blood. He’s soon captured and executed…swearing vengeance on everyone even up until the end. However, before he was killed a goofy psychic researcher meets with him and…

Dr. Jekyll’s Dungeon of Death (1979)
Looking as though it was lit entirely by a single spotlight, and boasting some truly terrible acting and direction, The Dungeon (AKA Dr. Jekyll’s Dungeon of Death) is an unbelievably bad horror movie that manages to throw in some very…
Spree (1979)
Spree is one of those movies that has fallen through the cracks and landed in cinematic oblivion. The only people who seem to remember Spree are those who found it distasteful or exploitative. The reason for Spree’s surprising inability to…
Restricting Market Access:Disney and Repertory Titles
The screen is silent. With the absence of noise or music, the camera floats elegantly over the Austrian Alps. Craggy peaks and lush green valleys are revealed. Small quaint villages and beautiful pastures are shown. Slowly we rise towards a…
Phantom from Space (1953)
As low-budget 1950’s sci-fi stuff goes, this movie turns out to be relatively entertaining, certainly better than a lot of similar type movies from the era. The movie is set on a single night, and follows various government officials (police,…
The People That Time Forgot (1977)
The newspaper of the family of the photographer Charly (Sarah Douglas) sponsors an expedition to the Arctic in the ship Polar Queen to find and rescue Bowen Tyler (Doug McClure). Soon the rescue team formed by Tyler’s friend Ben McBride…
The Devil Commands (1941)
Corny and cliche’d as The Devil Commands may look to the superficial gaze, it’s a powerful expression of the inextinguishable and far from trivial human wish to believe that death is not the end and that the dead we loved…
The Mighty Peking Man (1977)
The Mighty Peking Man (1977) stars Danny “The Man” Lee as an anthropologist who’s searching for the mythical “Peking Man”. Funded by a wealthy investor, Lee and his associates travel to Northern India to find the behemoth. Along the way…
The Savage Bees (1976)
This is a tense thriller that shows, in no uncertain terms how real and deadly the Killer Bee threat really is. This film shows, with scientific plausibility, the City of New Orleans coming under the increasing threat of a large…
The Final Programme (1973)
An ambiguous adventurer becomes involved with an experiment designed to overcome the impending extinction of the human species. One from the “What were they thinking?!” school of film-making: much like John Boorman’s contemporaneous ZARDOZ (1974), this is yet another good-looking…
The Survivor (1981)
This little known movie should be seen by anyone who thinks Aussie films are all mindless travelogues with idiotic characters. After a catastrophic plane crash, rescuers are surprised to see the pilot walking unhurt from the twisted, burning wreckage. The…
Delusion (1981)
Slow-moving and pseudo-intellectual horror/thriller that never at one point measures up to its glorious title – the alternate VHS box title that is – “The House Where Death Lives”. I honestly hesitated to stop watching the film several times during…
