Subject: FOR SALE: Martial Arts Movie Posters
Date: 9 Apr 92 16:45:20 GMT
Distribution: usa


    I have 46 movie posters featuring the martial arts.  These
    are original (not reproductions) one-sheet posters used in movie
    theatres during the 1960's through 1980's for such classics as
    Challenge of the Dragon, Chinese Godfather, Exit (yes, EXIT) the
    Dragon, Snake Fist vs. the Dragon, and many other titles.

    Perfect for decorating your room, as collector's items, or as the
    perfect gift for the true martial-arts (or bad film) aficianado.  
    Most are in nice shape, some have some visible wear, all are 
    guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.  

    Since I'd like to sell all of 'em at once, I am pricing the entire 
    lot at $85.00, which includes UPS shipping anywhere in the continental 
    US (less than $2 each!).  Here's what you get (all are folded one-sheet 
    originals):

I've heard/read lots of good things about Psychomania (the British
bikers-from-beyond-the-grave flick), so I was ready for a good one when I
rented it. I was quite disappointed.

The concept is that a teenage biker's mom had sold his soul to the devil. He
realizes that he can, with the aid of a special charm, commit suicide and
return as undead. He and his biker gang (cool bikes) all do it, and
terrorize (?) the town, with such horrific deeds as driving through the
supermarket.

The movie would have been worth watching if it had been outstanding in any
respect: script, acting, effects, humor, pacing, horror, etc. But it isn't.
It's about the quality level of videos you see where someone's film-school
final project was turned into a video, such as The Dorm that Dripped Blood.

I am assuming that it is tongue-in-cheek, and occasionally some of the
subtle British humor works, such as when it parodies some of the stereotyped
horror movie characters.  But what could have been a great movie was a drag.

Instead, rent Werewolves on Wheels or She-Devils on Wheels.

First of all, just let me say that I worship the Coen brothers and thought
Barton Fink was one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen.  They are
extraordinary filmmakers in every sense of the word - writing, directing,
producing etc. and pick very talented people to do the editing, camera work
etc. 

As for Barton Fink, I saw it a long time ago and quite honestly remember more
about the look of the film than plot specifics.  Personally, I found the
climatic fire scene amazing.  I guess I attribute the fire to a number of
things.  Throughout the whole movie, much attention was paid to how hot it was
in general (wallpaper coming off the walls) and this was a natural progression
for the climax of the movie.  Also, Goodman as a madman/murderer could be seen
as a devil figure engulfed in flames.  Just some ideas.

I don't remember the other questions for discussion raised by previous posts
but I had to put my plug in for this movie (and the Coen bros. in general).  I
highly reccommend any/all of their movies.

I watched _all_ of Eraserhead and don't know why. I felt like I had to get 
to the end, to find out if anything ever made sense or tied together or was 
in any remote way watchable. It was not.  It reminded me of a _very_ 
poorly done film student's thesis, which if I remember correctly may 
have been exactly what it was (Lynch's final project). Blech. Although I 
think the angel in the radiator scene was kind of cool.

Ok, here's the deal.  This summer, I plan to rent one or two really bad
movies a week, in the hopes of purging my system, so that I don't drive my
roommates totally bonkers next year.  I'm looking for real stinkers here.
You know, the kinds of movies that have titles like "Killer Bimbo Cheerleaders
on Saturn" and "Miami Space Mutants"  Also looking for classics, so here's
your chance to force someone you don't even know to watch these horrendously
bad movies.  Don't limit yourselves to science-fiction/horror either, be 
creative.  If you know of a real stinker of a "spring break" movie, throw
it on the list.  Primary consideration is given to those movies that are 
out on video, since it would be hard to rent them otherwise.

If anyone's interested, I will mail or post the final list.  

Thanks everyone!

   Hey, I remember this one! Wasn't there a sequel where the main good guy had

And the female lead and love interest turned out to be his sister? Freud would

Unfortunately none of the other Russ Meyer flicks I've seen yet come
close to Faster Pussycat... most of them are more like bad 70's porno, 
which is actually great fun to watch but not as clasic as FP,KK. I think
he also did some biker film(s) but I've seen most of the film below and
am still looking for something like FP,KK. 

If you live in the SF bay area, Naked Eye in SF has a pile of Russ Meyer
for rent. 

Anyway, courtesy of Dave Dodge/dododge@wam.umd.edu, who posted this a 
few weeks back:
Actually it's easy to get Russ Meyer films -- but it's not cheap. The
only major film you CANT get is "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", because
FOX owns it and refuses to release it (though it was released briefly
several years ago so some rental places might have it). Meyer and Roger
Ebert (who wrote the film) want it released on LD, but FOX says they won't
do it and they won't license it out to Voyager (grrrrrr).
 
Most of Russ' movies can be ordered directly from Russ himself. The
address is:
 
  RM Films International
  PO BOX 3748
  Hollywood, CA 90078
  (213) 466-7791
  (213) 461-4152

If you call, there's a chance Russ himself might answer the phone!

Here's what he had listed in the catalog I got this summer:

  Beneath the Valley of the UltraVIXENS
  UP!
  SuperVIXENS
  Cherry, Harry, and Raquel
  VIXEN
  Finders, Keepers, Lovers, Weepers
  Common-Law-Cabin
  Goodmorning and Goodbye
  Mondo Topless
  Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
  Mudhoney
  Lorna
  The Immoral Mr. Teas

Now the hard part -- he wants $79.50 EACH for these tapes. If you buy 6
or more the price goes down to $40 each. There are no LD versions available.

If you do go for these tapes, you shouldn't be disappointed. Russ takes GOOD
care of his films -- the transfer quality on these things is outstanding.

The clothes are not the police officer's clothes.. it is the T1000
copying the clothes.  The way the scene goes, we should think that the T1000
took the cop's clothes, because, had it not been for all the publicity
the film got prior to it's release, we should think that Arnold is the 'bad'
terminator coming back to kill John, and the T1000 is actually human, sent
back to protect John (like Michael Beihns' character in T1), until the scene
in the mall backroom where Arnold aims his gun (apparently at John at first) 
at the T1000, and says "Get down." to John, subsequently shooting several
holes in T1000.

Of course, everyone saw the previews and heard the basic plot long before 
they saw the film, so that aspect of surprise was gone for most people.
