The Wizard of Oz
Jaws 2 [Blu-ray]
To believe that any effort to make a 'Jaws' sequel could compare with the impact of Steven Spielberg's original was a doomed notion even in 1978: the original was and is a cinematic classic of the highest order (despite having spent much of the '90s in almost-infinite rerun on the Turner networks), so much so that no sequel would ever have been able to measure up to its legacy. What happened basically is this: Universal execs saw the budget and schedule for 'Jaws' balloon so badly because of all its production troubles that they told Spielberg he'd never work in Hollywood again, UNTIL the movie was released and broke every box-office record imaginable. As they are wont to do in the face of staggering profit, these moneymongers quickly turned keel and told Spielberg they were behind him 100 percent the whole time and they wanted to know when he was planning to start shooting 'Jaws 2'. Spielberg, being smart, said 'No thanks', so the execs decided to go ahead with 'Jaws 2' without him. BIG mistake.
Brotherhood of Death (1976)
After antagonizing a Caucasian male, three black men: Raymond Moffat, Junior Moffat and Ned Tiese go on the run; join the army; fight Vietnamese; make dough selling dope; and return home to Kincaid County. They decide to assist oppressed citizens to be more assertive, and with the preacher's help, get them registered to vote. This does not auger well with minority Caucasians - who feel threatened, put on Ku Klux Klan hoods, amidst signs to 'Fight Communist and Intergration' and launch an all-out attack with impunity. Things get even more complicated when a black woman is sexually molested, a black male is blamed, and the Sheriff is shot dead, leaving corrupt lawmen and heavily armed Klansmen free to slay whoever dares to oppose them.

Slave Contract (1982)
A wealthy political analyst Mikami and his more reluctant wife Yuriko decide to rent Nami,a slave,for three months.Her contract states that she will submit to any degradation or torture and satisfy any sexual needs her masters may have of her.Excellent pinku eiga made by always reliable Masaru Konuma.It certainly features some twisted and perverse sleaze including a dog play,rope bondage or public pissing,but the tone of "Slave Contract" is not as mean-spirited as "Lolita:Vibrator Torture" or similar utterly pessimistic pinku movies.Nami Matsukawa is certainly very likable as a sexual slave Nami.8 obedient slaves out of 10.Slave Contract,this late pinku is one of my favourite. The plot is simple : a wife and her husband make an agreement where the wife become the slave of him. But is is very well shoot and there a real "pinku" mood. I recommend it if you like the genre. Other movies from this director - In the Realm of Sex andBeautiful Hunter
This was quite a good film and from the bitchin' opening theme to the copious amounts of bondage and the demeaning attitude towards women, this film is greatly entertaining. Surely, my favourite scene is one where a man's humanitarian wife meets up for lunch with a famous humanitarian woman from America. Suddenly, she has a fantasy of the black woman spitting milk all over her face and the scene cuts to a strange room where the black woman whips her while wearing a purple leotard.
Kung Fu Cockfighter (1976)
"I have no idea what the actual title of this one is, or even exactly where it was made or when it was released, but I'm sure it's not KUNG FU COCKFIGHTER. That's the title they slapped on it in more recent times though so I guess I'll go with it.
Most kung fu movies don't even have any nudity in them but this one features hardcore sex scenes which makes it a real oddity for this genre. The story concerns a wizard guy who has super powers that make his cock able to deflect swords, break boulders and shoot smoke out of his dick. There's also his evil master who's a sex-crazy rapey sort of fellow and a lady who can break poles with her pussy and shoot out pieces of wood like bullets.
The film itself is packed with nudity, there's a torture scene where a gal gets here vag roasted and by the end it becomes a ghost movie.
Needless to say this is a real bizarre watch and despite the title there's not really all that much kung fu'ing that goes on but still worth a look for admirers of the weird and might be the only actual graphic Asian-made kung-fu-porn I've seen so far.
This is listed everywhere as having come out in 1976 but the musical cues seem to be taken from 80's films so this is probably wrong."
The Black Gestapo (1975)
Supposedly one of, or THE most mean-spirited/violent blaxsploitation flick. TBG initially revolves around a group of black guys in uniform standing up to a bunch of white honkey's who are terrorizing their community. Well, this group of black guys, led by the bailiff from Night Court, turn themselves into a private army of lethal and brutal vengeance. But plans backfire as they eventually become what they despised and it's now up to the original guy in charge of the People's Army to set things right. Yeah! Anyways, this was a pretty good flick. Initially it started out very entertaining with oodles of racism by redneck jerks who were all in their own right laugh-out-loud funny. The director Lee Frost was especially good as the leader of the bad white guys. But as the story develops, it becomes a little less entertaining as the racism kinda fades away, and your left with black on black drama. Which isn't as entertaining in my book. But the movie still stays violent, and you also get to see some Uschi Digard boobies.
In the wide world of blaxsploitation I think this flick is a must-see. Especially if you want to see a black dude call another black dude a 'jive-ass n-word'. Hell, I think they use the word 'Jive' like a couple dozen times. And that's a recipe for success in my book.
Hellhole (1985)
There is plenty of stuff in this flick to please any die-hard camp or exploitation fan: pointless lesbian scenes, gratuitous shower scenes & nudity, camp dialogue , horrid performances(with the notable exception of Woronov), & a cast that also includes Marjoe Gortner, Dyanne Thorne (of "Ilsa" fame), Ray Sharkey, & Terry Moore. All in all, a classic midnight movie.
This somewhat entertaining garbage stars Judy Landers as Susan, a young girl who witnesses her mother's vicious strangling. Following this, she comes down with amnesia(of course)and is sent to a mental sanitarium for women(of course) headed by the mad Dr. Fletcher(played with loads of much-needed camp by cult icon Mary Woronov),who likes to perform unorthodox drug -induced lobotomies on some of the more out-of-control inmates.

The Bastard (1968)
Is this film a guilty pleasure? A departure from 60's predictable Hollywood style, there was something strange and hard to place about this film until its Italian roots became apparent. Life on the run is so good for badboy Jason in the earlier part of the film that you know something is going to go terribly wrong. The devastating diva female characters are stunning - a Madonna, whore, and mother (alcoholic middle-aged ex-model) triangle of 60's tigresses between which the attractive but somewhat one-dimensional male lead is trapped. Jason is a mere male, and the opportunity of new love from an angelic saviour is passed in for his compulsory trajectory of revenge. Martha, the mother, is drunk half the time and steal the scenes with her unpredictable manic mood swings around her twisted pride in her criminal sons. The fast cars, luxury homes, nightclub scene of go-go-dancing, the country and western idylls and American dream scenery provide a colourful backdrop and make a trip back to 1968 all the sweeter.
The Incredible Hulk: Death in the Family (1977)
THE RETURN OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK 1977 MADE FOR TV MOVIE!!!
The Incredible Hulk was an American television series based on the Marvel comic book character of the same name. The pilot episodes were a pair of Made For TV Movies that aired on CBS in November 1977. This is the second Made For TV Movie leading up to the TV series.
The Tartars (1961)
Sometimes there are films that are so bad they are good, even great, see "Welcome to Woop Woop." (1998) "The Maze." (1953.) The Conqueror" (1956). "I Tarari" (1961) is in this vaulted class of movies. Staring the great Orson Wells and Victor Mature it just collapse under it's own sincerity, what a hoot!. The lines are stock and over blown. Don't bother with the plot what ever it is, just listen to the lines and watch the really bad acting, have a bottle of cheap red wine to get the full effect. I love this movie and give it a 10.
It is worthy of an MST3K treatment. Orson Wells must have needed money to make a movie he wanted to make, as others have pointed out in this section. It's a lot of fun to watch with friends.
The Ice Pirates (1984)
A group of pirates led by captain Jason (well, he's not a mythological Jason?!) picks in the distant future the Universe in search of water for their civilization. Two of them were captured and brought into slavery space Princess who attracts both search for their father who disappeared at the very moment when he came into some dangerous secret.
However, this bonding experience "the pirate movie" with fantasy and simultaneously parodying both genres would be interesting, if the direction of Stuart Raffel didn't seem so "claustrophobic" (in the apt definition American critic Leonard Maltina), and he had a more subtle, not so vulgar sense of humor and knew how easy, it is natural to change the registers and the tone of the narrative, alternating between adventure and entertainment. And without all this turned out very strained, heavy and not funny. It's amazing how idiotic company "star pirates" got good actress Angelica Huston, which is excruciating along with other performers at least one audience laugh. But Mel Brooks after three years showed in a fantastic Comedy "Spaceballs" as I should be though rough, but very wittily parodied the movie series "Star wars."
