Thriller-A Cruel Picture / They Call Her One Eye Archive 20!

Thriller Archive number TWENTY?? Well, I hope that I've managed to share a little of my enthusiasm for Bo-Arne Vibenius' great cult film. If you were prompted to see it by all this posting I'm happy-and if you had already caught it I hope that I've shared my enthusiasm.
So, for the final official post in the series I wanted to share a review from VIDEOOZE magazine of Thriller-A Cruel Picture. This is the review that made me take my chance to hop on a plane with a LOT of Swedish Kronor jammed into my sock and dedicate about a year to helping see the film released on DVD.
Never made a penny...but I did learn a few lessons, see a few things and realize that the love of a good movie is worth it's own weight in gold-at least for a schlub like me. I'm never going into the business end of movie releasing again thanks much, but I'd still like a Thriller T-Shirt to remember all that bullshit by.
So, this review for Videooze is here as a thank you to Thriller-A Cruel Picture, Bo-Arne Vibenius and Bob Sargent especially. Over the years I've become friends with Bob (we chat about these flicks while I'm walking around the wholesale club with a baby strapped to my chest and pushing another in a little red cart)-and this review is one of the best of the film I've read. Videooze...the pioneer frontier of Swedish Trash in the US, we miss ya!
Click it, blow it up and read it...and by all means see the movie. If you want to check out the 20 post archive that includes behind the scenes shots you will not find elsewhere, Variety totals, lots of naked Christina Lindberg and more...click here: THE THRILLER ONE EYED ARCHIVE.

And while I'll be moving along, you never know when more will pop up and I will be posting MORE Christina Lindberg...believe it!

Super Stooges Against The Wonder Women on DVD! Al Brescia Strikes!

Some discs just EXISTING is a miracle. Now, I have to admit that I'm an Al Bradley / Al Brescia fan. Yes, I know that his movies are plain old "bad," yet I find most all of them enjoyable. Miami Cops? Great! Cross Mission-the movie with the satanic dwarf inserted into a cheap action flick? CLASSIC. Don't even get me started on the Star Wars rips-I've viewed them all several times. And yes...THE BEAST IN SPACE is as demented as it sounds. So, I could not resist scooping up this funny little clone of the Three Fantastic Supermen series on disc. No Brad Harris, but lots of goofy music and fights-as well as the aformentioned WONDER WOMEN. Slapstick galore, some fun stunts and in a strange way it reminds me of one of Brescia's best-The Revolt Of The Praetorians.
Interestingly, the disc presents the film widescreen and looking quite a bit better than the previous edition I watched-from Greek videotape, but this is yet another case of "Alternate Edit" blues of a sort. Being that the languages are English and Italian-it looks like this version is the straight comedy edition for Italian audiences. The English export contained an opening battle scene that is pretty damn violent-and doesn't set the comedy mood. This version goes right into the humor, starting with a goofy bar fight that introduces our heroes. However, Simpel Movie (???) has included that sequence as a bonus scene-taken from the greek VHS. So, watch that first and continue right along into the feature.
Besides...this has Malisa Longo as an Amazon Woman...what more do I need? That little fact had me digging for a nice reference for her career and I can't believe that she has her own OFFICIAL SITE! And if you poke around you can even find some cast shots from the film!

Here are some images, the cover and at the end of the post is a slideshow I made from the truly BresciaScope opening sequence. You can purchase this amazing and limited to 333 copies disc from XPLOITED CINEMA by clicking HERE.
Act now or you may miss your chance to own this one!

Wicked West 2 Chat! Eurotrash Comics Paradise

Tomorrow (Tuesday, 9/18) I'll be helping to run a day long discussion of The Bob Tinnell, Todd Livingston and Neil Vokes book THE WICKED WEST 2-ABOMINATION at the Eurotrash Paradise. Any readers here should enjoy the discussion as the creators will be on hand and hopefully we will be discussing not only this fantastic book (hey, it features Rosalba Neri AND Paul Naschy) but other books that could be of interest to Italian Horror and Western fans. Check it out and post away. The ETP is a great place to hang with lots of folks ranging from authors to fanzine editors of days gone by to guys like me. Trash fiends looking for any fix they can find!

Join, post...and have fun! Hope to see you all there.
