Gordon Liu is always good in these classic Shaw Brothers kung fu flicks but this one is pretty forgettable. Also the title sounds like there might be golf involved. They do cram a message ...

This Jackie Chan kung fu flick starts out with the most basic plot of "you killed my master and now I must seek revenge" but then throws a couple of curveballs our way to spice things up. ...
Even with subtitles this one was a little tough to understand being shot in Jamaica with all the authentic Jamaican Patois being spoken. Luckily it's a pretty simple plot about a reggae dr...
It took 15 years to make a sequel to the first MUNSTERS movie(MUNSTER GO HOME) and this time they just get a made-for-TV deal which feels like an overly long episode of the show except in ...

This is the most comedic movie by director Jess Franco that I've seen yet. It's also the only comedy that I know of that's based(loosely) on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe. The goofy plo...

This sci-fi film was originally released in Europe in 1960 as THE SILENT STAR. 2 years later it was brought to the U.S., dubbed, given a new soundtrack and edited down(removing around 13 m...

Director Jim Van bebber has made some great stuff over the years including an awesome short about Long Island killer Ricky Kasso . This short though is not quite up to the quality of that ...
I can see where this might have spooked out some British children back in the 90s if they saw it with no context, watching it for the first time over 20 years later though it's a pretty to...
Based on a true story, what we get here is kind of a SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT-situation(which was made this same year) but instead of smuggling beer our hippie anti-heroes(played by brothers D...

The highlight for me in this documentary about the history, picking, cultivation and smuggling of marijuana was the scene where a dude just swims from Mexico to a beach in California with ...

This feels like the American version of one of those Mexican wrasslin' women movies , but since it came out a decade before those I guess this actually set the blueprint. Of course it's re...

Great character actor Jack Elam is once again great in this playing(as he normally did) the big creepy heavy who keeps creeping on a local innocent waitress(Joyce Meadows, who is not related to...

Similar to how they filmed a Spanish-language DRACULA this here, translated as THERE WERE 13, is the Spanish version of CHARLIE CHAN CARRIES ON made on the same sets but with a differen...
The 7th CHAN film starring Warner Oland. There would be over 30 to follow featuring a couple of different folks taking over the role. This one involves a knife-throwing trigger-happy killer...

This Italian murder mystery starts out with a bloody bullfight and that's about the most gore you're gonna get out of this fairly slow-moving giallo by director Umberto Lenzi and starring ...

It's kinda weird seeing 70s Pam Grier in ancient Roman times but compared to some of her fellow female gladiators here she does come off as the most kickass of the bunch. This is overall an...
1989 was not exactly the best year for Italian horror(or sci-fi) films and this one really doesn't stand out all that much besides featuring a really bizarre giant monster that consists of...

I recently watched director Chang Cheh's earlier, similar kung-fu epic FIVE SHAOLIN MASTERS which is on the same Blu Ray disc as this and while that one was OK I think I preferred this one ...

This 80s sword & sorcery epic is seemingly influenced by CONAN THE BARBARIAN which came out only a year earlier but I saw it before CONAN and it was in fact the first movie my family rente...

Jess Franco gives us a comedic spy movie here starring Eddie Constantine who was famous for starring in Jean-Luc Godard's ALPHAVILLE a few years earlier. This was before Franco delved into the ...

Not the best Italian giallo flick in the world. Late in the subgenre, I think this one is mainly known because it contains one super gory bit where a ladies nipple and genitals are mutilate...

Hong Kong version of a superhero movie that teams up 3 of their big actresses of the 90s Michelle Yeoh(as The Invisible Girl), Maggie Cheung(as a tough biker chick known as The Thief Catche...

This hunter(Bryant Haliday) kills a lion in Africa which unleashes the "voodoo curse" of the title although I don't think anything that we see counts as actual voodoo. Really dull British ...
