"Slugs" has to be at least one of the grossest! The book by Shaun Hutson is
even more graphic, if you can believe it! Of the movies I've seen from that
original big list, I've liked all of them (especially the Dracula movies).

Regarding  the film:  Slacker

	From coffeehouse to rooming house to cafe, bars  the director of this
offbeat film clutters our minds with the insightful, the twisted, the strange
and the bored wandering souls of Austin Texas.  I loved this film as it
reminded me of so many offbeat characters I have met over the years:
scarfheaded white soul brothers leaning against their VW rusting microbus
complete with the Grateful Dead sticker on the window.  Or the unemployeed
hippie-logger-commercial fisherman-carpenter sipping too many cups of coffee as
he let me know just how bad those "crapshooters" in Washington had messed up.
No doubt I too reflected fondly yet sadly  upon my own days of being a Slacker.
Of all the time I wasted over the years.  Of times with no defined direction or 
purpose. And not all my Slacker days were a waste. It was learning.  I recall 
the time when I was hitchhiking thru rainy Iowa in 1973.  A guy in a
cluttered Plymouth gave me a ride which turned into a 150 mile explanation of
the JFK conspiracy. He could easily been in the movie.  Slacker is a tad bit rough in its transitions.  Just when
the director allows us to know a film character, then we are wisked away to
meet another sad lost lovable street truth seeker.  
	
	Anybody out there see this film?

I read a short article in our local newspaper about a month ago on  Alex
Cox.  I can't recall too many specifics, but it seems that Cox got fed
up with Hollywood, moved to a country in Latin America (the article
named the country, but I forget which one it is.  Maybe Nicaragua, where
Walker was filmed), and is now cranking out Spanish language films.  The 
article failed to mention any movie titles or U.S. availability of 
these films.

I too have fallen under the infulence of the cool EVIL DEAD series.
I have some questions- I found the second a lot harder to follow.
Even though l have only watched it once, it was confused with some dream
sequences and the reality, as well as the stupidity of the main guy (i forget
his name) to play the tape the release the demons again! As well as where did
the bodies go, and why did the end of EVIL DEAD I, where the camera flys
through the forest and at the face of your hero turn up half way through the
second movie. Is this first part a rerun of the first movie but differently or
AAAAHHHHH!, sorry l am getting confued, as the credits state that the hero is
the same guy.

I watched an Australian video and l don't know if it was cut at all. It seemed
to be all there, but the events are strange!

Yes I love really bad movies...USA UP!!! All Night is my favorite
time of the week.  There are 2 books you might want to look at..
Video Trash and Treasures, by Morse.  They only include movies up
to about 1988, but have got some great reviews.

I myself am waiting for a tape of "Evil Toons" which I have been told

 SHOGUN ASSASSIN is actually edited from two movies of the original
Japanese BABY CART serie (also known as KOSURE OOKAMI and LONE WOLF
serie). I think they were the first and the second features and they
were both directed by Kenji Misumi. There should be five BABY CART
movies, four of them directed by Misumi. All of them should be available
on video there in USA (well, at least Video Search of Miami carries 
all of them).

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone from this group has ever seen this movie.
If so, what did you think of it, and could I possibly aquire a copy?
This movie did very well at the CANN Film Festival (can't remember the year),
and was showed in certain movie theatre's in the U.S.A.
If anyone has a copy of this film I will send you a blank tape and pay ship-
ping for a good copy.

thanks

There are six.  Video Search of Miami does have them, and all except
number two are letterboxed.  BTW, of the tapes I've seen from VSoM
these are the only ones that I wouldn't complain about quality-wise.

SHOGUN ASSASSIN is a dubbed and rescored version of 1 and 2, as you
said.

LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH is another flick based on the Baby Cart
series, from number 3.

I've heard the series referred to as "Sword of Vengeance".

I really dislike SHOGUN ASSASSIN; I hate the voice-overs and the
music.  See the originals.  (Makes for a good marathon viewing
session!  You'll be humming the `Ogami Itto' song for days...)

   What they did was take the original working footage and re-edit it. The
   result is a different movie.  I haven't heard a whole lot about it but a
   few changes include: no narration (originally done by Ford himself),
   different cuts between scenes that change the plot somewhat and a different
   ending (not so happy).  And worst of all, new music (sans Vangelis I
   think).  Well I don't want to be to pessimistic; I haven't seen it yet.
   Maybe it will be good. If anyone has heard anything else let me know.

No, the fact that it's a new version is even better news.  This new
version is the director's cut, with a number of changes demanded by
the studio for the orginal release (like the ending and the voiceover)
removed.  All guesses are that this will be better than the original!

How about the cockroach-eating scene?  I hear Cage actually ate a live
bug for the film.

My wife found nothing of value in the film, but I though Cage's wild-man
performance and the overall weirdness to be interesting and funny in
a dark sort of way.  I wouldn't analyze the film anymore but to say
that I found it fairly memorable and entertaining...

How many minutes were added to the padded version?  I always thought the
movie really dragged in places, and this explains it.  Then again, the
beachball-as-alien always inspires gales of laughter from me without fail.

Despite not having seen the film myself (though I've had the chance) I
checked the movie database (ah, the joys of WAIS...) The following
information was given on the search word "advertising":

Robinson, Bruce		(directed)
			How to Get Ahead in Advertising
			Withnail and I


Grant, Richard E.	(acted in)
			Henry & June
			How to Get Ahead in Advertising
			Hudson Hawk
			Killing Dad
			L.A. Story
			Mountains of the Moon
			Player, The
			Warlock (1989)
			Withnail and I

Ward, Rachel		(acted in)
			After Dark, My Sweet
			Against All Odds
			And the Sea Will Tell (TV)
			Black Magic (1992) (TV)
			Christmas Lilies of the Field (TV)
			Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
			Final Terror, The
			Fortress (TV)
			Good Wife, The
			Hotel Colonial
			How to Get Ahead in Advertising
			King of Love, The (TV)
			Night School
			Sharky's Machine
			"Thorn Birds, The" (mini)


As you can see, Richard E. Grant acted in both movies accredited to
Bruce Robinson (HTGAIA and Withnail And I).

   BTW, it is my understanding (from Kit Car rags) that there have been at least
   6 different attempts to build and market a "Wraith" style vehicle.  I have not
   seen the movie, but I may rent it just to see what this car looks like.

The car was a customized Daytona, built by PPC as a pace car for....
aw, rats, I can't remember what racing series it was.  I don't read
kit car magazines (though I do read Mopar hot rod magazines, on
occasion); I hadn't read of any attempts to market lookalikes...

Umm, just so you understand the only thing you're getting for your
rental money is finding out what the car looks like, and you have
something to do between its appearances -- other than that, it's a
complete waste.
