The eroicism . . . oh fuck it.
Like a Phoenix from the Ashes, It's the Netflix Reviews Thread Mark ][
i think this guy is a genius
Fabio Testi Looks like Sean Connery or Jesus or the gayest man in the world. He is like a mood ring. Virgins, not virgins, deflowered or untinted. What the hell is this about. I don't know but man o man are these folks wound up! All these Euro tramps naked, untrimmed and un siliconed getting horribly butchered by a crazy person. Who want another beer?
'the final countdown,' not the europe song, i think
I think a whole miniseries the size of Ken Burns' Civil War could be done on the subject of cinema of the late 70's early 80's. The financial convulsion of the time period as theaters went minor megaplex (2-6 screens) and the beginning of the cable market, beginning of the vcr revolution made some odd odd things happen. This film should have been awful. But it isn't.
Some trashy blonde
that looks like Lisa Kudrow gets drunk and drives around like a zombie. Where the heck are Mothers Against Drunk Drivers when you need them? Lyle Waggoner, in his first screen appearance gets the crap beat out of him by a fat man. The fat guy is part Rambo ala First Blood and part MacGyver. The love triangle is just freaky. Rex Allen, the voice of the Disney nature movies, is in love with the daughter of a moonshiner he killed. Her mom is way hotter and younger than her own daughter (explain that!) The moonshiner's daughter can't decide between Rex Allen and some guy who grows up to be Ricky Nelson's chief song writer. I am not making that up. Mafia dons, horrid racist stereotypes, serial killers, broken car doors, alligators being kicked by red necks like stray soccer balls and lots of bloodhounds. Great theme song, and the single weirdest soundtrack ever recorded.
now this guy reminds me of r. john
Findlay's movie may look like a porn movie but there is no real nudity. There was a website that had pictures of rumbled motel bed rooms and cruddy couches. These were the sets of porn movies But with no porn just the furniture. Hey there is market for this I am told. That is what this is like sorta. The lighting and camera work are absurdly clear and easy to read but wrong. The dialogue and story move right along but are so unreal. At no point are you confused about the proceeding from the who what when and where BUT the why is God's own mystery. Findlay had no real training as a film maker and thus what she does is like folk art. Each rendering is sort of realistic but there is no sense of proportion or ability to imply a 3d representation. She is like the Grandma Moses of exploitation.
Maybe the best review of anything ever
I try to be fair in rating these things, so a movie can generate bonus points for certain elements. This is a 2.5 for a movie moved upwards to a 3.5 because of the bonus points awarded for Unrelenting Torture of Franco Nero. Jeepers that is cool. Essentially "DeathWish" but instead of Charles Bronson getting cold and methodical, Nero gets hysterical and unstable. And the unbelievable catastrophe that is Barbara Bach as...get this...are you ready??? The girlfriend who offers the voice of reason. Not a typo! Slo-mo car torture and exploding sqibs in a fake blood and raw hamburger meat filled Glad sandwich bag spfx! And the score is a motherload of serious Italio-funk! I want H.I.S. bell bottoms and a Members only jacket, some Annie Greensprings Wine and blacklight poster of a nekkid lady.
i really need to watch more indonesian movies
It has that Indonesian full throttle energetic but totally clueless and no compass feel. Like a blindfolded meth tweaker mowing a football field with an ginzu knife in one hand and a pair of battery powered nose clippers in the other. . . . These Indonesian movies don't have much in sophistication, Instead of experience and skill they rely soley on an overly enthusiastic desire to rip off some recently viewed film from the West or Hong Kong or Japan. But they just don't get it, Nor are their copies very accurate. Imagine a Rolex with 11 hours on the dial instead of 12 and 5 hands instead of 3. A gung ho attitude that is adorable even if the results are cheesy and off kilter.
Toothpick dispensers as weapons?
The hero must be decadent and cool he has emo nail polish!!! Lots of holes in the plot but never in the story. Any leaks are plugged with breasts. The topless female is the "bath tub caulk" of screenwriting. Just keep jamming boobs into the story until it holds water and floats. This is a lot of fun but it took a lot of boobage to seal the seams.
The french
have great cooking, architecture, literature, painting and sculpture. Arguably the best in the world. They also undeniably have produced the worst pop music and silliest cars in the history of history. Motor vehicles and music are used to good comic advantage here.
one for the ages
Unique film in that we see the first appearance of the breast implant, the computer and the waterbed all in the same 6 reels. AND we also get to see the Opel GT And the VW kit car AND as an added bonus the adhesive backed gold mineral streaked mirror tile on the bedroom wall!!!
