One of those films where you either love it or hate it. On first glance, the plot is innocuous ... during WWII, a group of mercenaries are hired to rescue some kidnapped generals. But when you discover one of the generals is Abe Lincoln and one of the mercenaries is an Elvis impersonator, you realize that you've entered uncharted waters. Throw in some hopping vampires, amazon warriors, and a bizarre musical number -- and you have the perfect cult film. And what a cast, including; Jackie Chan, Yu Wang, Brigitte Lin and Adam Cheng. Also check out sister film, Golden Queen Commando. |

Certainly one of the weirdest and funniest movies I've seen in some time (or ever). A man has the simple goal of having sex in his car. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a girlfriend ... or a car. But he is full of ideas to get said car, including harvesting body parts from his uncle, robbing banks, and becoming invisible. However, even the invisibility backfires, when as a side effect, he becomes a giant fly monster. The final ending -- after the credits -- is classic! I love this film! |

A variation of A Chinese Ghost Story -- with lovely Cherie Chung as the female spirit -- finds the female ghost again falling in love with a mortal male. The she-ghost defies her mistress -- an evil, man-eating witch -- and tries to protect her lover from the demon's wrath. Stunning photography and wonder set design, this film is a visual feast. Not to be confused with the 1968 Shaw Brothers martial arts film of the same name. |

What starts as a typical martial arts tale -- stolen gold and a man searching for his missing father -- becomes something else once the secret society of swordswomen enter the picture. The lethal gals wear black hoods and they far outclass the best of the martial arts world. They also have strict codes concerning their affairs -- not one can enter their hidden fortress -- and they have a pit of poisonous snakes to deal with those who break the rules. Great early Shaw Brothers film. |

A particularly nasty young man is killed while attempting to rape an innocent woman. The rapist's parents -- an orange-haired demon and his cackling wife -- vow vengeance. They use stomach worms to curse the family responsible for killing their child. Lots of action, plus nudity, in this fantasy / horror film. The title is a loose translation of the Chinese characters, I'm not sure what the official English title might be. |

Super enjoyable Shaw Brothers version of King Kong. This time, the giant ape is friend and protector to a blonde jungle queen -- Evelyne Kraft -- perhaps making him more like Mighty Joe Young. In any case, the costume worn by Evelyne must be seen to be believed. It barely covers her VERY sexy body and as she romps around in the jungle, is difficult to follow the plot -- as you wait and pray for it to fall off. |

The Crazy Cats -- more-or-less a cross between the Rat Pack and the UK's 'Carry On' gang -- appeared in a series of 23 comedy/musical films during the 1960s. They featured an ensemble of seven Japanese actors, and while not all actors appeared in all films, the general cast and tone was similar in each film. In this film, Hitler is alive and well in the mid 1960s, and he's trying to rebuild his army on a secret South Seas island base. Can the Crazy Cats stop his evil plans? (NS) |
