The Way of the Dragon (1972)
If, like me, you have only seen Bruce Lee in the wonderful, but portentous, ENTER THE DRAGON, than you might be surprised by this quite potty earlier film. In ENTER THE DRAGON, Lee was amused, but sombre; a fighting machine,…
The Student Nurses (1970)
Four lovely young nurses in their last year of nursing school experience all kinds of turmoil and excitement in their lives: sweet Susan (winsome brunette Elaine Giftos) tries to comfort the bitter, terminally ill Greg (a moving performance by Darrell…

Superchick (1973)
Superchick is a bad movie lover’s dream. The plot is utterly ridiculous. Tara B. True (Joyce Jillson) is, by day, a mild mannered stewardess (they weren’t called flight attendants in the 70s) with a secret. Besides the long blond hair…
Grand Theft Auto (1977)
A young couple Sam and Paula are planning to be hitched, but when they confront Paula’s influential parents about it. They won’t have any of it, and beg her to marry the snobby, rich Colin. Instead she and Sam steal…

Horror of the Blood Monsters (1970) AKA SPACE MISSION TO A LOST PLANET
A ragged, befuddling palimpsest comprised from the detritus of no fewer than three unrelated pre-existing films, all shuffled together within a framework of “new” scenes(added, I suppose, to bring some degree of cohesion to the amalgamated mess at hand). Success?…

Agreeable fun’n’funky post-nuke science-fiction/action romp . This exciting picture packs kinetic action , thrills, intrigue , shocks and lots of blood and violence . The movie likely satisfy action enthusiasts and Italian Sci-Fi fonds . After a nuclear war, society…
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970)
This film will appeal to fans of the celebrated “cavegirl-meets- caveboy” genre. Its time-honored, trademark conventions are all there, the stop-motion animated dinosaur effects artistry, and general ambiance of geological upheaval and turmoil, and of course the primitive Stone Age…
Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
The dark horse of the sequels: Taste the Blood of Dracula. I don’t know, the title alone is awesome, I also happened to really like this story. Once again Christopher Lee returns as Dracula, you could tell this time he…
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970)
Dario Argento’s first dip into the directorial pool is a pot-boiler somewhere in the realm between Hitchcock and Jack the Ripper, classic noir and the “modern” cat-and-mouse serial killer picture. Argento’s method’s may still be in a slightly embryonic state…
Scars of Dracula (1970)
A village girl found murdered, could it be that Dracula is back? Playboy Paul Carlson is about to find out. A bat hovers over a concrete slab, blood frothing from its mouth, the drops of which are reinvigorating the Prince…
The Clones of Bruce Lee (1980)
This movie definitely was shoddily done, but the dubbing is kooky and the story is hilarious. At times, I think there were four Bruces. There is so much to say during the beach scene seeing two Bruce wannabes sporting speedos…
Duel at Diablo (1966)
“Duel at Diablo” filmed in 1966, has a cast of both American and international players and touches of violence coupled with prejudices. It makes for an interesting mix and provides the viewer with a tense depiction of the usual struggles…
The Hammer of God (1970)
Good production values highlight this old-school kung fu movie which is packed with all the crazy action and excessive violence that you could hope for in a martial arts movie. Sure, the plot may be familiar and simple stuff to…
Tentacles (1977)
Directly minted from the same cookie-cutter that was forged by “Jaws”, “Tentacles” attempts to tell the thrilling story of a seaside community under duress when it is visited by a giant octopus that has the ability to “suck a human…
The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966)
Evil Oriental mastermind Fu Manchu (CHRISTOPHER LEE) abducts ten beautiful girls from around the world whose fathers are distinguished scientists and engineers. He then forces them to construct a “death ray”, which generates phenomenal energy through radio waves. First he…
A Last Picture Show
Hollywood is in a frenzy trying to come up with public relations patter by which to justify the coming shift in release windows. A lot of them are embracing the argument that the poor smaller budget pictures are not getting…
Scream Blacula Scream (1973)
“Scream Blacula Scream” is actually better than the original. Of course, that may have a lot to do with Pam Grier. Grier plays Lisa, who had just been given the title of head of a voodoo cult. However, Willis (Richard…
Teenage Bad Girl (1956)
I never would have watched ‘My Teenage Daughter’ if it hadn’t been made by Herbert Wilcox and Dame Anna Neagle. This husband/wife team (he as director, she as star) churned out a long series of highly profitable British films, most…
