Yeah but I actually liked it. It reminded me of a better straw dogs. I do have to agree that even though the sex was exploitative it just got to hardcore. It was pretty good for a movie staring a porn star.

better than Straw Dogs? hahahahahahahaha. thanks for the good laugh
i didn’t say the exploitive nature of the film disturbed or offended me, the fact that it was poorly made was what bothered me.

Okay I went a bit far on the Straw Dogs thing. Okay so the the budget sucks,some of the actors are horibille,and the script is bad but man this is a movie with a porno actress with hard core sex scenes,it isn’t The Godfather. It is just a movie that turned out reasonably well for one that followed that formula. I mean turn your critical fatalities to a low man for a movie like that.

Exactually.
Okay, here we go:
I would like to throw out some of my favorite flicks.
If you like Dolemite then you have to check out more of Rudy Ray Moore’s movies:
Of course we all have heard about how Lady Snowblood influenced Kill Bill but you really don’t know how much until you see it. I do’t thnk Kill Bill would have been the same had this movie not exitsted. The new DVD just came out and the picture and audio are pretty good so check it out if you can.
And you gotta love Jack Hill’s masterpieces Coffy and Foxy Brown.
And you have to check out Black Caesar and it’s follow-up Hell Up in Harlem both directed by Larry Cohen in 1973.
Does anyone know where (except online) I can get Jack Hill’s SWITCHBLADE SISTERS on the Rolling Thunders DVD? I really want this movie cuz I heard it was a really badass exploitation movie and it has a QT/Jack HIll commentary

A few of my favourite grindhouse-drive-in-exploitation-Z-film-straight-to-video-trashy-whatever-you-want-to-call-it movies
The Mutations (1973). Starring Donald Pleasance and Tom Baker. Directed by Jack Cardiff, yes THAT Jack Cardiff the legendary cinematographer who worked on legendary films such as ‘The Red Shoes’ and ‘Black Narcissus’. He also directed Marianne Faithfull in ‘Girl On A Motorcycle’. The plot of the film is about a mad scientist who decides to mutate humans and plants. Like ‘Freaks’ and ‘El Topo’ it uses quite a few freak show performers in the film.
The Doll Squad (1974). Starring Michael Ansara, Francine York and Tura Satana. Directed by Ted V Mikels. An elite army of female assassins save the world from a madman (aren’t they all) who wants to unleash the bubonic plague on our unsuspecting planet. Contains a wonderful special effect (done by scratching onto the film) of Sabrina burning off a man’s face in a cafe with her cigarette lighter.
Faster, Pussycat! Kill, Kill!(1965). Starring Tura Satana, Haji and Lori Williams. Directed by Russ Meyer. One of the coolest films you’ll ever see. Watch it in a double bill with ‘Easy Rider’. Three Go-Go dancers, kidnap a girl (after murdering her boyfriend) and plot to rob an old man living in the desert. Crisp photography and crisp editing. Before Orson Welles made Citizen Kane he watched Stagecoach (directed by John Ford) forty times. Perhaps this is the film to watch forty times before embarking on one’s own.
Virgin Among The Living Dead (1974). Starring Christina von Blanc. Directed by Jess Franco. Ye Gods! Naked lesbians, melting candles, chickenheads, blood licking ahoy in this crash-zoom heavy romp. From the opening music, or musics (try and imagine three CD players operating all at once bombarding your ears with classical, jazz and rock), one is constantly thinking “What the fu…” whilst watching this movie.
Caged Fury (1983). Starring Bernadette Williams, Jennifer Lane and Taaffe O’Connell. Directed by Cirio H. Santiago. Here I shall cut and paste the plot from The Internet Movie Database. [size=80]North American and Asian women are brainwashed into becoming suicide bombers in an evil Filipino POW camp.[/size] The bit I hate about this movie is the elongated rape scene as it is shot in a most ‘erotic’ way.
Motel Hell (1980). Starring Rory Calhoun. Directed by Kevin Connor. Let’s cash in shamelessly on ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. Farmer Vincent kidnaps travellers and harvests them for meat.
X (1963). Starring Ray Milland. Directed by Roger Corman. He gets to see people dancing naked but for some reason he looks at their feet. Later he goes on to win the Palm D’or for ‘Pulp Fiction’.
I could go on but I shall finish with…
Girls In Prison (1956). Starring Richard Denning, Joan Taylor, Adele Jergens. Directed by Edward L. Cahn. Once again I shall cut and paste the plot from the ol’ IMDb. [size=80]Protesting innocence (of course), 21-year-old Anne Carson, convicted as an accomplice to a bank robbery, finds herself in prison with 3 equally glamorous cellmates in form-fitting uniforms: tough Jenny, unbalanced Dorothy, and deceptive, sweet-talking Melanee who (it’s implied) makes unwanted lesbian advances toward Anne. The prison chaplain takes an interest in her case…or is it in her? As Anne meets the darker side of prison life, she learns that her greatest danger is the existence, somewhere out there, of unrecovered bank loot everyone thinks she hid.[/size] I haven’t seen this in years but if I recall the girls escape thanks to the force of nature. Either an earthquake or a whirlwind, I cannot remember.
Black Mama,White Mama-Starring Pam Grier and Sid Haig
Other than “Women Prison Massacre” I dont have much experience with WIP films.Black Mama,White Mama was a fair WIP flick,a good start for someone who is new to the WIP genre.This is one of Pam Grier earlier roles but she plays it very well.And I have to mention Sid Haig which I dont see alot of sadly but plays the character very well and after watching this film I got to see more of this guy.If you have never seen a WIP films before this film is a good starter.
Half Women in Prison flick/half Blaxploitation flick.

^ I agree, but I try to stay away from 80’s exploitation movies! I just call them Horror movies! They are still good, but they don’t do the stuff they did in the 70’s! You know what I’m saying? Escape from NY, Toxic Avenger, and just saw that Nuke em High trailer, they are prob the last of the “Grindhouse” stuff I think!

I dunno cause grindhouses carried on until the late 80s. and i gott admit i enjoy them 80s exploiation movies as much as the 70s ones.
