Father and son on a vendetta

Shogun Assassin (1980)

If you know how this movie was made everything should tell you this is nothing but cheap exploitation made for the dumb audience to get a quick fix of some sword swinging action. Robert Houston got the idea to re-cut two movies from the Lone Wolf and Cub series into one short action filled romp. Namely these two Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972) and Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx (1972) with a tiny bit from the third one as well. All that dubbed into English and with a new swinging soundtrack. So it doesn't sound good on paper, but even in fear of getting some mortal enemies from the fans of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, this is better than the first two parts together. First of all this movie gets the setting up of the story done in a fast and effective way, unlike the original series where it tends to drag on for way too long. Second this movie adds a whole new dimension to the story with the narration by the Cub, which of course is done to explain some of the missing parts, but it actually works wonders for the depth of the characters. And the dubbing, it's one of the best I've seen in any movie dubbed from one language to another. Apparently they used deaf people to read the lips and try to guess what they were saying and then basing the dialog into words that fit the story and the mouth movements. Quite ingenious if you ask me and it works brilliantly. Now most of you who know me and my hate towards remakes and cheap copies are probably wondering how the hell can I like a movie like this which takes a piece of classic cinema art and "destroys" it. Well I see it as a remix, just like in music, most of the time they are not exactly great, but sometimes they can be even better than the original and this is one of those.

Anyway this movie tells the story of Shogun's decapitator, Lone Wolf, who with his son, Cub, seeks revenge on the Shogun who murdered his wife. The Shogun uses all his power to send out ninjas, warriors and assassins to stop the Lone Wolf, but a great samurai warrior with a vengeance on his mind is not stopped so easily. The story is very simple, but there's surprisingly much depth to the characters, mostly because there was so much material to go with I guess it was relatively easy to build strong characters out of those. There's no shortage of action and the body count goes absolutely crazy towards the end. But still there's drama and tragedy behind the showers of blood and decapitated heads. The movie is simply beautifully shot, some of the frames are works of art worth placing on your wall. Too bad the Brittish DVD I watched was from a print that had seen it's better days. There are also a few scenes that are just pure brilliance on the psychological side as well, for example the warming up scene after escaping the burning boat. And call me crazy, but I like the rather simple soundtrack too. Actually the only thing I don't like about this movie is that it credits only Robert Houston as a director while ignoring Kenji Misumi who directed the original movies. Sure Houston cut this version, but still some credit to Misumi who made the amazing source material would be welcome. Anyway I really like this movie and even though I've seen it many times by now it still works wonders. That's a sign of a true classic.

Linda Blair cleaning up the streets

Savage Streets (1984)

This movie borrows quite heavily from Death Wish (1974) and others of it's kind, though this time Charles Bronson is replaced by the young Linda Blair. Se plays Brenda who with her friends ends up pissing off a group of drug dealing gang members. The gang then rapes Brenda's sister and kill her best friend as a revenge. Brenda decides to take the law into her own hands and deal out some justice with a crossbow. This movie is simply fun, it's clearly made with a tongue in cheek attitude with plenty of violence and nudity, not forgetting the great one liners in true 80's action movie style. Add to that a brilliant 80's soundtrack and a plot which is just hilarious in stupidity and you have an entertaining movie. Surprisingly enough there are quite a few good performances in this one, John Vernon as the principal was great as was Robert Dryer as Jake, the leader of the gang. And I must say I also enjoyed Linda Blair giving these great one liners before dealing some violent justice, even though her performance otherwise wasn't that great. Rest of the cast were from ok to rather bad. But they fit their silly roles anyway so it didn't matter that much. This is one of those great movies to get over a hangover morning or some night with friends drinking to get one.

Some serious party poopers

The House on the Edge of the Park (1980)

Right after Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Ruggero Deodato made this nasty little film. Even though the shock values might not be what they were in Cannibal Holocaust, this movie is still very disturbing. There's two kinds of sexploitation, there's the rather childish male fantasies and then there's the sick kind. This being a Ruggero Deodato movie this is of course the latter. It's a story about Alex (David Hoss) a homicidal rapist and his friend Ricky (Giovanni Radice), who invite themselves into a party hosted by a snobbish couple. Alex and Ricky take the group hostage, beating the men and raping the women. So the story isn't exactly great and similarities to The Last House on the Left (1972) are quite apparent. This is a bad movie, no other way of seeing it, but at parts it's so bad it turns into an unintentional comedy. Especially the twist at the end was just hilarious in it's stupidity and it pretty much ridiculed the whole movie before it. I don't know if that was a planned sick joke or just stupidity, but for me that worked very well. So basically it's an hour of torture, rape and torment and the ending makes fun of it all.

Here's the trailer which is hilariously misspelled.

Why don't we have sex before I kill you?

She Killed in Ecstasy (1971)

This is one of the better movies from the infamous exploitation guru Jess Franco, that however doesn't make this a great movie. Dr. Johnson's experiments with aborted fetuses is brought to a stop by a group of surprisingly jealous colleagues who deem it inhumane and revoke his license. Not only that but they decide to trash his laboratory as well for some weird reason. Unable to do what he loves the most makes dr. Johnson lose his mind and commit suicide. Dr. Johnson's wife swears revenge on the people who destroyed her husband, so she decides to seduce and kill all of them. Well needless to say the plot is quite crap and the acting is mostly weak, but that's not exactly the point of this movie. It's of course the sex and violence which both there are plenty enough, though getting there takes surprisingly long. The violence is quite mild compared to others of it's kind and the effects are rather bad. The sex on the other hand is well in hand, mostly thanks to Soledad Miranda who is always a pleasure for the eyes. She also is the one who puts the most effort into the acting and does a surprisingly good performance turning from an innocent wife into a crazed seductive killer. The cinematography and the set design are quite brilliant so the movie looks gorgeous. The music is also great, even though it does start to repeat itself a bit too much in the end. So in the end there's quite a bit I liked in this movie, but on the other hand there was an equal amount which I didn't.

Road rage is a serious problem

Drive Angry (2011)

Nicolas Cage is back from the dead and he's angry and he's driving cool muscle cars. He's after a devil worshiping cult who has kidnapped his granddaughter and killing everyone that gets in his way. He ends up traveling with a hottie played by Amber Heard so there's some eye candy. And if all that wouldn't have been enough, they are being chased by an Accountant from Hell. Now that's what I call a story. Name of the game is kicking ass, burning rubber and at times having sex while doing either. The story and the concept were so hilarious that I really wanted to love this movie, but unfortunately it's not a great movie. First of all it tries to be cool, but it really isn't and you're left with this awkward feeling where you wonder were they just having fun embarrasing themselves or did they really think they're cool. All the great stuff were just ripoffs from other movies and that was a huge disappointment. It felt like the director didn't have a single original idea, just mixing all the stuff he thought was cool. That's not always a bad thing if the movie is done with style and the right attitude, but unfortunately that wasn't the case here. The CGI effects were from bad to absolutely horrible, but luckily there are some proper physical effects in there as well. What I liked about the movie was the ridiculous story, William Fichtner's performance as The Accountant, some of the dialog and the cars. Actually those were enough to keep me entertained, but still the movie had potential for so much more than what it's offering.

The Last Night Virgin Murders The Spring On The Left Train House

Night Train Murders (1975)

Sorry for the crazy title, the reason for it is that this movie is actually quite an interesting curiosity. It's exploitation in the second generation so to say, it exploits the idea of another hugely popular exploitation movie, Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left (1972), which in turn exploited a popular Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring (1960). That's not really anything special as there are tons of movies that exploit other exploitation movies, but what makes this trio special is that both of the versions keep the moral dilemma from the original in them as well. Even though the story could have been told straight forward relying only on the shock factor, the main point of vengeance making the person commiting it no better than the one that deserves it is still very present there. And that's why I quite like this one. So it's basically the same story as in The Last House on the Left (1972) but this time it all happens on a night train. Two young women are on their way home for the Christmas on an almost empty night train when they come across two drug addict thugs and a nymphomanic woman. Well as the story follows quite closely Craven's film, I'm not going to say anything more about it so I don't end up spoiling 3 movies, even though the other 2 should be considered as general knowledge by now. I was expecting this to be an audio-visual update for the Craven's version, but the style was surprisingly straight forward with only a few quite stylish scenes. Even Ennio Morricone's score isn't shining out in any way and actually one of the strongest scenes in the movie has no sounds at all. And that's quite a shame as the movie really doesn't bring anything to the old story, but then again it luckily doesn't take away either. So it's basically the same story in a different setting, surely it's nowhere near as good as The Virgin Spring (1960) and not even as good as The Last House on the Left (1972), but still it's not a bad movie as it manages to keep the most important point of the story unlike many others of it's kind. The dubbing was horrible as in most Italian movies, so watch it with the original soundtrack if possible.

Bronson cleaning the streets

I read the book Bronson's Loose!: The Making of the Death Wish Films and that inspired me to watch the movies again. The book itself was quite ok, it loses track more than once as it's based on so many different interviews, but yet it manages to dig up enough great info to keep it interesting. Too bad it's quite short as I ended up reading it quite fast and it left me wanting more of it. But it's great for what it is and definitely great read for anyone into the Death Wish movies. Anyway, here's what I thought of the movies.



Death Wish (1974)

The movie which kick-started the vigilante genre watched today seems a bit corny and superficial at parts. But it still has a whole lot to offer and the importance of it can't be denied. Paul Kersey, the vigilante, is definitely Charles Bronson's most iconic character. I bet pretty much everyone has seen at least one of the movies from the series or at least some of the iconic pictures of them. In this first movie his wife is killed and his daughter is raped by punks who invade their home. The daughter gets traumatized and loses the ability to speak. Kersey doesn't jump to a gun straight away to seek revenge, at start it looks like he doesn't want anything to do with the mess. Only the growing violence around the neighborhood and the incompetence of the police drives him to arm himself for defense. As he first time needs to defend himself against a mugger, he gets a whole new sensation in form of an adrenaline rush. He notices that the criminals can be dealt with and so he decides to go and hunt them down. So there is a bit of depth to the story as well and it surely is quite striking even today at some parts. The cast is quite great and the look of the movie is nicely gritty. The city looks menacing and the dark alleyways hold all sorts of low life criminals. Sure it's totally over the top, but this movie is not about subtlety, it's about extremes. Despite it's few corny moments it's still a strong movie, even today and definitely deserves it's spot among the best of it's genre.

Death Wish II (1982)

This time Paul Kersey lives in Los Angeles with his still traumatized daughter and his new girlfriend. One day five thugs break into his house raping and killing his housekeeper. When he gets home they knock him out and kidnap her daughter. The daughter gets also raped and killed, so Kersey is out for blood once again. This movie doesn't seek motives too far and jumps quite fast into the main point, termination of the criminals. This one is a lot more brutal than the first one and also a lot more straight forward without much thought to the dilemmas of the subject. So the entertainment values are more on the action exploitation side and that's not at all bad as this is quite entertaining movie. The acting is quite bad and even unintentionally funny at parts. The dialog is very corny, though there's not that much of it anyways. This movie made the character a bit more like a hero and opened the road for the absolutely crazy third part, but more about that below. In the eyes of an exploitation movie fan this kind of cut out all the nonsense of the idea and focused on the juicy parts. Far behind the first one in content and depth, but still surprisingly enjoyable no brainer action flick.

Death Wish 3 (1985)

Over the top would be a horrible understatement about where the third part took the series. It's absolutely bonkers. This time Kersey doesn't even have to lose a family member, the death of a Korean War buddy is enough to set him on a rampage again. And this time he just doesn't shoot a few muggers with a puny pistol, he has a 60 caliber machine gun, a hand cannon even Dirty Harry would be jealous and a fucking rocket laucher to boost. The story is basicly that this small part of the city is over run by a gang, they terrorize the elderly people living there and the police is helpless. So what does the police do? They of course ask Kersey to help them out. And a total all out war is the name of the game. So the script is ridiculous to say the least, the acting is quite bad most of the time and the movie is tons of fun. The camp values of this one are extremely high. As a serious movie this is total crap, but as an insane campy fun ride this is the best of the series. And since I love a good campy movie, that's how I'm going to rate it. Absolutely brain numbingly brilliant!

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987)

So after the completely insane third part, where could the series possibly go? Well the start of the fourth part is quite brilliant, kind of like making the Kersey character a super hero, avenger in the shadows rescuing the damsel in distress. But unfortunately that was just a dream and the reality is not really what you'd hope for. Kersey has given up his vigilantism and is trying to settle down with his girlfriend, but him being Kersey, things don't work out as planned. The daughter of his girlfriend overdoses on crack and dies. A wealthy business mogul whose daughter has also died of drugs hires him to kill the mafia behind the drug traffic. With a bit of moral support he soon accepts the deal and on we go. So this time the small time criminals and muggers are switched to mafia men in suits. That's the biggest problem in this movie, it's not as interesting to see him as a hitman without the revenge theme, sure it was thin on the third already but still, kind of taking the vigilante theme in the wrong direction. And speaking of direction, Michael Winner who directed the first three didn't return and J. Lee Thompson took over. That unfortunately shows as this movie was surprisingly straight forward with only a few nice looking scenes. Not that the previous 3 would have been especially stylish but they had that gritty exploitative feel to them, this one looked like a James Bond movie done cheap with all it's clean action. Sure there's a big bodycount like in the previous one, but this time it's quite unimaginative and the movie is trying to take itself a bit too seriously in the light of the thin script it has. Despite the few good moments, got quite bored watching this.

Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)

After a wife, a daughter, two girlfriends, a step daughter and a Korean War buddy being killed, you'd think Paul Kersey wouldn't want any friends and family. Add to that the fact that most of his friends and whoever he comes close to end up getting hurt also, you just wonder why he even bothers to trying to live a normal life. Should just stick to cleaning the streets. Well quess he's after the nookie or something as this time around he's again in a relationship and as soon as he proposes things end up bad for the woman. What a surprise... Again he's after the organized crime but this time even the action is very poor. So this final part has really nothing to give to the series and is quite a pointless sequel. Even Bronson mostly just looks tired and you can see that he's thinking "I'm too old for this shit". And at the age of 72 he sure was. They should have let the series die at the third part or even at the fourth part as that still had it's moments. This one has none.

A lesson on why embalming should never be done

Buried Alive (1990)

Been looking for this movie ever since I got interested in Frank Darabont as a director after seeing The Shawshank Redemption (1994). But as there wasn't a proper release from it my search was for nothing. Forgot about it for a while until today on my way home I stopped by a film store like I do quite often. There on the back shelf under the clearance items I found a proper Finnish release of it. I even watch quite closely all the new releases so dunno how I could have missed this. So I went home and watched it. Well I have to say I was quite disapointed. The thing is that when you follow a certain director you get your expectations from his previous works and in this case they range from absolutely brilliant to quite good. Well this wasn't quite good. Actually it was quite bad. The thing where Darabont excels is character development and this one had basicly none. All the characters are very superficial and thus meaningless. The story in itself is quite nice with quite a few twists, though the ending with all the carpentry was a bit too much. Apart from a few quite nice scenes like the resurrection and the wine glass bit, it was way too common. So all in all a below average thriller. I'm still glad I finally saw this, but disapointed how "un-Darabontian" it was. Biggest surprise this gave me was to actually see how gigantic the leap from this to The Shawshank Redemption (1994) was for Darabont.

You can read the reviews of the rest of Darabont's movies here. Also need to mention the series The Walking Dead which Darabont created, which judging by the first two episodes seems to be surprisingly good apocalyptic zombie series. Sure it recycles the old ideas but it's been quite good at dodging the usual pitfalls of the genre.

Vigilante old farts

Bought Harry Brown (2009) from a discount bin of a record store and even though I just saw it earlier this year I gave it another watch. But as I can't stop comparing it to another movie with similar themes that came out not long before it, so here's the review of Gran Torino (2008) also. Lets start with the one that came out first.



Gran Torino (2008)

Vigilante movies are quite a drained subject, so wasn't expecting much from this when I first saw it. Well little did I know what the old man Eastwood had in store for me. This movie took the old vigilante story, treated it with a good taste and made it almost seem fresh. Entertaining throughout and probably the best ending I've seen in these kind of movies. I've seen this now couple of times and still can't find anything bad to say about it. It struck me like a freight train and went straight to my favorite movies. One of the best movies of 2008 and an instant classic.

Harry Brown (2009)

Similar in themes as Gran Torino, an old man gets tired of the gangs terrorizing the neighborhood and takes revenge. But where Gran Torino had some comedy in it also, this one doesn't have one bit. It's grim to the bone and the situation is quite helpless without any glimpse of hope. At start that works great, the violence really hurts and the gang members are truly frightening. All in all the cast is quite brilliant and the acting is this movie's strong part, much thanks to Michael Caine. About two thirds into the movie I was quite surprised how good it was, kind of like Gran Torino's grim evil brother. But unfortunately then things go wrong. The ending is quite bad and it loses the gritty realistic feel that was the driving force of the movie. Well worth watching, but still the ending is a bit too idiotic to make this a great movie.

From Sweden with a vengeance

Thriller: A Cruel Picture (1974)

Before I get to the film itself I have to say a few words about Quentin Tarantino. Some people question his contribution to the art of film saying he just recycles old ideas and mixes them with his trademark "trendy" dialog. This minority is partly right but I don't agree with them. I love his movies and what he has done to the art of film making, not just by his own films but the awareness he raises for old forgotten "classics". You may think what ever you want about the whole "grindhouse" genre, but it has it's place and deserves to be available for those who wish to see them. It's thanks to him we finally in 2004 got a proper DVD release of this movie. Before that a crappy severely cut bootleg copy was the best you could wish for. For a bit of background, Bo Arne Vibenius got frustrated from the box office failure of his first movie, so he decided to make the most commercial movie he could think of just to cash in some big bucks. Sex and violence was his recipe. Some commercial movie he surely did, the movie got banned straight away in Sweden, it's homeland, only to have the same fate in another country after the other. He finally found a distributor for the movie in America, but only after it had been cut more than 20 minutes. The movie kind of vanished after that even though it was quite famous in the genre scene where it was hyped beyond reality just before it's full length DVD release in 2004. So I of course rushed to spend my last euros on the overly priced "limited edition" they put out with a fear of getting some overly hyped mediocre film. Well I wasn't disapointed, it hit me like a sledgehammer and went straight to my all time favourite movies. Would have paid a lot more had I known what I was really getting. But that was back then 6 years ago, now I gave this classic a revisit. So the movie is a quite basic story of abuse and revenge, but done with a take no prisoners attitude. A girl gets sexually abused as a child and looses her ability to speak. Then 15 years later she's kidnapped and shot up daily dosage of heroin to make her a sex slave. And of course she then takes a revenge. The hard core porn inserts are still one of the best I've seen in these types of movies. Sure they are there purely for the exploitation factor, but yet they kind of fit the story. The other infamous insert with the eye is still freaking gross, but that also fits surprisingly well to the grim tale. The slow motion scenes worked like a charm before, but now not that much, seemed to drag it on a bit too much. The ending was still as magnificent as before, hadn't lost a bit of it's poetic justice feel. All in all it still worked, but now I paid a bit too much attention to the small details which were not really working. As it's a movie with only grander scale events, the details are not meant to be seen, so that kind of broke it up with me. Even though the movie is in The List, I'm not going to give it full percentage now, as right now it didn't work as good as in the first viewing. But also I'm not going to remove it from the list either as it has it's well deserved place there as a definite genre classic.

99 years is a long time...

The Big Doll House (1971)

One of the better women's prison movies from the golden era of exploitation movies. Shot in the Philippines like so many of it's kind, due to cheap labour and exotic location. Though the location doesn't matter that much in this one as it's mostly shot indoors. It's not in the same league of exploitation as the more notorious ones from the same era, this one being quite easy-going, but it doesn't matter at all as there's so much going on that you won't get bored. Actually the exploitation is just a side product in this one as it's focus is on the tough women. Though I'm quite sure their initial intention wasn't that, but the strong cast just turned it that way. Any which way the movie is filled with the trademarks of it's kind like torture with various appliances, lots of shower scenes, violence, soft core sex and of course not forgetting mud wrestling. I've seen this movie quite a many times by now and was surprised that it still kept me watching without losing interest. The scene with Pat Woodell in a tan dress shooting with dual MP40's is something that burned into my head from the first moment I saw this movie back in the 80's and still today kicks ass more than any other gun wielding woman since.

Bergman on horror

The Virgin Spring (1960)

My personal favourite from Ingmar Bergman. Not the usual Bergman, being even horror at parts, but still there's lots of the familiar elements present. It's the movie which spawned one of the cruelest remakes ever, The Last House on the Left. But where The Last House on the Left focused on the torture and gore, this original handles the subject far superior. It's still brutal and cruel, but it's focusing more on the pain of the parents not only feasting on the pain of the girl. It's a movie about revenge, guilt, sin and purification. Religious themes are used brilliantly to justify and question the actions and the whole religion itself. It's beautifully shot, the direction is flawless and the cast is brilliant. A true masterpiece, one of my all time favourites and one of those movies everyone should see.

Death sentence to bad movies

Death Sentence (2007)

Death Wish of the modern day, that's what I've heard of this movie and as Death Wish is quite a good movie, I was somewhat excited to see this one. Well, it turned out to be quite a bad movie. The story is the same age old story which has been told a million times already, but that was ok, what would you really expect from a movie like this. The dialog was horrible, paper thin without any effort. The action was at some points way over the top which didn't fit the mood, for example the parking lot end fight. Then again at some points it was quite good too with some really brutal and realistic scenes. Too bad they were few and far apart because those kinds of scenes you would have wanted to see more, not some ramboing. Kevin Bacon does a great job as the avenging father and is one of the only strong points this movie has. Also John Goodman was a nice surprise, but the rest are just there not making too much of an impression. The directing was focusing on the action too much and except for a few scenes didn't really get much out of the story. I'm beginning to feel like every time I see Saw mentioned in the promotion of a movie, I should run away from it. All in all waste of money and time, it offers nothing that hasn't been done better before. Only reason I could think for anyone to watch this would be Kevin Bacon's performance.

Tits, cannibals, braindeads, nazis and a whole lot of vengeance

We had a movie night at my friends house and watched quite a bit of sleaze. Here's the catch of the night.



Night of the Hunted (1980)

This movie was so uneven that it's hard to do any conclusion of it. The beginning was quite strong, but it falls to a quite over length love scene and there on it's going up and down like a rollercoaster (no I'm not meaning the other love scenes). Some scenes were really nice but others just plain stupid. Who knows, maybe it's meant that way as the theme is loss of mind, but I bet they could have done it better too. There's lots of skin in this movie and at times it gets funny as none of the women seem to want to keep their clothes on. That's ok, but it doesn't save this one from being quite boring. I do have to give credit to the end part of the film where there's some effort. Especially liked the ending scene, don't want to spoil it so won't say anything more about it. Oh and the main "villain" should start pistol shooting for money as he seems to be better at it than at acting. Don't think I'm going to ever watch this again. Some points for the ending and the boobies.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

Was my second time I watched this. Last time was way over 10 years ago so I didn't remember much from it, except those animal scenes and the lady in a pole as they just stick to you. We'll there was much more than just the shock effects of animal killing. It turned out to be quite a good movie. For example didn't remember the idea of watching the film material of the first group to tell their story, kinda takes away the "originality" of Blair Witch Project. Also it makes some good points on who the real savages really are. But the usage of the shock effects is just underlining the point too much, I mean you tend to think "OK I got the point already, move on". So all in all quite a good movie, that suffers from over usage of gore/shock effects, but definitely worth watching.

Lady Snowblood (1973)

Vengeance, don't know what's about it that appeals to me in movies. Many of my favourite movies, even thou I don't hold grudge against anyone, have vengeance as a theme. I'm beginning to think it's an easy theme to make a powerful movie... Don't know, but I'll certainly look into it in the future. Anyways about this movie, the vengeance is not direct which gives it a nice twist. A girl is concieved, grown and trained for the purpose to avenge the death of her mother's husband. This was beautifully shot and you can see how much Tarantino has taken influence from this movie for Kill Bill. Even thou I was tired as hell at this point, it still kept me easily awake till the end and left me with something to think about. Really good movie and will definately find it's way to my collection.
