I’m not going to tell you that The Wild Girls is a good movie. There are too many drawn out softcore porn interludes for that. It doesn’t help that the dialog is lame and the plotting sloppy.
That’s too bad because The […]

Poor Nishiwaki Michiko. Like Oshima Yukari, despite having oodles of charisma and athletic talent, Nishiwaki most often got stuck with lousy writers and directors. Whore And Policewoman is a case in point.
The basic plot is not the problem.
Some […]

A Life Of Ninja has just about anything you could possibly want in a ninja picture: exotic weapons, killer swordplay, high quality kung fu, and even some exploitation.

I’m not generally a fan of campy movies, but you’ve got to give The Holy Virgin vs The Evil Dead some credit, starting with that title. This is a movie that includes copious gratuitous nudity, gore, machine gun battles, flame […]

Slave Of The Sword has tons of gorgeous nekkid Chinese wimmin like Pauline Chan, Joyce Ngai, Siu Huen, lovely imagery courtesy of cinematographer Chan Chung-Yuen, and some nice swordplay from martial arts choreographer Lam Man-Cheung.
But so what? There’s no plot […]

With a title like A Lamb In Despair, you would expect it to be an exploitation ripoff of Silence Of The Lambs, but that isn’t it at all.
A Lamb In Despair is actually a fairly thoughtful psychological thriller, with very little […]

It is tempting to dismiss the events of 1941 Hong Kong on Fire as grotesque exaggeration. The film is a bloodbath, with Japanese slaughtering folks in hospitals, skewering babies, and raping every woman in sight. But I’m afraid that the Japanese […]

Sadly, Trilogy Of Lust adds up to little more than a rank porno. This is a pity because at the center of this waste of celluloid is a truly transgressive adult film.

Too bad. If Journey Of The Doomed had sustained the invention and energy of the utterly gonzo 1st act, it would have been a trash classic.
