Report Film Redux - Japanese Posters!

I sure do enjoy a good German REPORT FILM, and spent a good amount of time both here on the blog as you can see by clicking THIS LINK to Report Film Mania!  A few ancient hard drives found me looking at some Japanese release posters for the Schulmadchen Report films.  Happy Friday to all!

Christina Lindberg is... EXPOSED

Click and enjoy ANOTHER piece of Christina Lindberg history!  Many thanks to Will Wilson (again!!) for sharing a really cool slab of paper.  I wish I could have been there...

Christina Lindberg Poster in a Kung Fu Sex Comedy!

Check out the section from 1:13 to 1:24 or so... It's a roving camera view of Christina Lindberg appearing in the 1973 Kung Fu comedy Chun man Dan Mai (aka Adventure In Denmark)?
In a poster.  This poster!

Christina Lindberg - A Flat Cameo in Naughty Co-Eds

Continuing my vigorous REPORT reportage, I started watching Schulmädchen-Report #8 the other night. The English dubbed edition is NAUGHTY CO-EDS and I was really surprised to find another Christina Lindberg appearance in the series (after he mind blowing sequence in #4).  But if there is one thing nobody could call the lovely Lindberg it would be FLAT.
Not so here...watch as her POSTER gets some action.  I couldn't find the exact same image to match up with the scene, but here is another from the same series!

 

This was a really cool find... I'm hoping to find more such connections as I go along in REPORTville.

Schulmädchen-Report - Christina Lindberg SuperTrip!

Wow...I'm almost through the Impulse Pictures Schoolgirl Report releases and can't wait to put down some thoughts on them here, but first-a little image break.  I just love Christina Lindberg and she has an insane scene in #4.  So, for my pal Bob Sargent (whose VIDEOOZE hooked me on Thriller-A Cruel Picture)--here is a little bit of those scenes.
Question for all you disc owners, jump to 1:12 and 30 seconds and watch for a bit. Does Christina examining the goods seem cut to you?  That is a pretty jarring hop in the image.


Enjoy!

Christina Lindberg Wall Posters

Once you get me started on Christina Lindberg and her...presence...well, I just can't stop. Check out these three WALL POSTERS!  Sadly, I never owned one of these on my door, but it would have been a great weight loss tool when I was sitting at home drinking chocolate shakes and watching movies as a younger man.  That first one...wow!!

They Call Her One...And MORE!! Christina Lindberg Day!

Yes indeed...just when you think you have seen it all, the Holecheck Archive arrives! Here are a few newspaper ads that are for re-issues of THEY CALL HER ONE EYE / THRILLER A CRUEL PICTURE. Click the link right there and it will open my archive on the film for you as well.  Incredible stuff, and be sure to thank Bruce by clicking through here and visiting his blog, CINEMA ARCANA!  You want to know what is coming on DVD and Blu Ray? This is where you go!

Ah, Swedish Vice-Girl. Now that is a title worthy of it's own series of pulp novels.  A One Eyed Schoolgirl out for kicks and one more hit! I'd have her battle THE SENSUOUS COP along the way!

Bo Arne Vibenius would LOVE this banned in Sweden tagline!  Also, keeping a knife tucked in the crack of your ass seems a bit unwieldy, but it is a great image. 

Ultimate and Awesome...You get Christina pitched at the top and a great tagline with the Hookers Revenge title!  Not so sure I get THE FLATBACKER GIRL so much, but sure...

All this really makes me want to see the film cut up under these titles!  The Synapse yellow stripe edition is just a cut version of the full film and not a restoration of the original US released version, which I've never seen.  Anyone know if these are available ANYWHERE in that edition?

They Call Her One Eye...CineMoments Gallery

Over the years I've written a LOT about Thriller-A Cruel Picture / They Call Her One Eye.  The recent photo gallery meme got me to thinking about how to present it in a slightly different way.  I find the film very powerful, but is it really the image of Christina Lindberg in a duster and eye patch blowing away scumbags that makes the vengeance taste so sweet?
The easy answer is yes, but director Bo Arne Vibenius' film is perhaps to easily dismissed as a girl with gun film.  The level of desperation and humiliation that Frigga / Madeline suffers with on a minute to minute basis, from her early childhood no less, builds and builds on the viewer until you really have no choice but to want to identify with her violence.  This isn't Paul Kersey in Death Wish, Frigga has had it rough for way to long to not find a way to purge this all out.  And she doesn't take a simple path.
She suffers as she plans not only escape, but total vengeance...and her soul pays the tolls along the highway to that final oblivion she drives off in to at films end.  Not only does she lose her parents, but as she ponders her actions in the end, she has lost herself.
But I find this ending hopeful, the Frigga that has run her course is a drug addled and deaf mute victim-what is left is a stronger woman, riding off in to the sunset in a vehicle that suggests authority.
There is not much hope in the VibeniusVerse-wait until I get to Breaking Point-and he would love to have shot Thriller 2 where our "vengeance woman" battles evil terroritsts.
I like to think she found her way back home.
You can't forget the performance of Christina Lindberg either.  At Cinema Wasteland she mentioned the "brilliance of Vibenius" was realizing that she was limited in her acting. Given no dialog at all, Lindberg communicates nothing but raw emotions in her scenes, which are nearly the complete running time.  And she does it well.
Thriller also boasts the presence of Heinz Hopf, a man that did not appreciate his villainous typecasting, but if ever there was a character that deserved to have his head detached from his body by getting it tugged off...his Tony would be it.
So, here are scenes that are not about revenge from one of the great revenge films...THRILLER-A CRUEL PICTURE.

and her vengeance...well...it is magnificently done.

Heinz Hopf...the ultimate bad guy.
