Caged - Le prede umane (1991)
Top WIP flick
I agree with Correpondence-2. This is a late (maybe the last) but a great WIP flick from Italian director Leandro Lucchetti. IMO the best ever. Among all the Italian nazi sleaze and sick flicks of the 70's and 80's this near-porn 90's movie stands out. It is has some class and decent production standards.
The movie has the Count Zaroff theme that started in 1932 with "The Most Dangerous Game". The sadist lesbian guards are a must-have. Also the shower and strip scenes are there.
The millionaire hunters are flown in by helicopter for the party in the swamps of an unnamed island. Nude women are set loose as prey for the guys and the party begins.
Two nude prey women in a cage, waiting in distress for the hunt and having an erotic lesbian engagement. Totally hilarious.
This is 1992 and an echo of the 70's and 80' sick flicks. No shame at all about sexism or wokism. Enjoy while you can.
I couldn't google my raunchy movie poster, so I had to pluck it from my own copy of the movie. I'm almost sure it will be refused because there are female nippels. Sooo American :-)
Wat zien ik (1971)
Under Estimated
This movie is a historical document from The Netherlands in the 1970's and should be appreciated as such. It is a kind of 'TMO of Paul Verhoeven'.
Albert Mol was the writer of the book and he was one of the first gays who exposed himself to all the media. We call that now a 'rel-nicht'. That was very brave in those days.
Paul had more gay, lesbian and bi characters in his movies. His movie 'Spetters' got a lot of flack for homophobic content. I strongly disagree. Gay-bashing was going on in those days and Paul just showed it.
This movie is a rom com comedy with some kinky sex scenes. It's about Amsterdam, prostitutes and kinky sex. There is some violence from pimps and some nipples.
These treats are not uncommon in The Netherlands. Pim Fortuyn was a famous politician and got shot. He also was a 'rel-nicht' that made no secret about his doings in gay darkrooms. #Metoo is also picking up.
The title (Wat zien ik?! - What do I see?!) has an answer (Stof! - Dust!). It refers to a scene where the dominant female hooker disciplines a sub male client dressed as a housemaid.
Movie-wise this is not a great Paul Verhoeven movie. It is outdated and not up to standards anymore. But It gives you nice shots of red-light Amsterdam.
Paul Verhoeven thought of it as one of his worst movies. A 6 would be fine. I rated it a 7 because I enjoyed it again last week..
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989)
Ripping Fun, Clever, Culty movie
This is a movie that keeps you giggling for at least three days. I had a hard time to find it, but it was very worth the chase. First, you must look and see some of the original (sleazy) Italian Cannibal movies from the 1970's. Then you have to read the critics on badmovies.org (funny). And then you are all set to enjoy this one. But don't spend your best whiskey on it.
Producer and director J.F.Lawton also made 'Under Siege' (1992) and 'Pretty Woman' (1990) and it shows. It is low-budget but it is professionally made, it is funny, clever, hilarious, campy, culty, whatever.
Imagine a team of a woman feminist professor, an air-headed teeny bunny and a Crocodile Dundee look-alike going on a jungle expedition - you can't. That's why you must see to believe. In the first half hour you are treated with some not-so-subtle quotes of at least 5 other movies, including Rambo, Superman, Ninja's and Indiana Jones. The quest in the movie is to take out evil Ms. Kurtz - an obvious reference to Cl. Kurtz (Marlon Brando - Apocalypse Now). The end of the Miss is also comparable to that of the Colonel. No surprise that Quentin 'Quote' Tarantino liked this movie.
Don't get fooled too much by the culty/campy stamps that are around about this 1989 movie. It is treating some radical feminist issues in a ironic, even sarcastic way. The movie fuelled some fierce discussions on some campuses - but that is all history now.
I give it an 8 out of 10 for the great fun.
What Gets Me Hot! (1984)
Traci's debut - and it shows
I have seen this movie again this weekend. And I have seen a lot of other movies with Traci Lords. This is supposed to be her debut in the industry - and it shows - only in the end she gets a straightforward f*ck scene with young Tom Byron.
This movie was released in late 1984, Traci was born in early 1968, so she must have been 16 in this flick. Late in 1987 it became known that Traci (real name = Nora Kuzman) was lying about her age. It was a major mayhem in the industry and all of her videos were pulled back from the stores.
This movie is a nice-to-have from a historical POV. It has some kinda story (what am I blabbering) but it is sub-standard pron - even for the 1980's. Of course Traci did not fully developed her sexy sounds that made her so lovely in her later movies.
Her f*ck mate in this movie is young Tom Byron. Traci made a lot of movies with Tom, her favorite partner. There are no indications that they were a couple, but there are some really sensitive clips around with the two that could make you think otherwise.
In 1987 - just a few days after her 18th birthday - in France she did the movie "Traci, I Love You". It was her climax. Her one and only adult movie of legal age (and her most sexy one). Shortly after she got busted by the FBI for faking her age on her driving license. After that she went undercover to let the storms pass by.
She later came back in a lot of other acting jobs. Traci is not "just" another pron-chick. She has an above average personality and history, Nora is a strong woman (and she is super sexy).
I rate this move 4/10 from a pron POV and a 6/10 from a historical POV. Try to get the 8/10 "Traci, I Love You" - her last movie and by far her most erotic (without Tom Byron).
Traci, I Love You (1987)
Traci at her Peak
Traci Lords (Nora Kuzma) is legend and that is a bias of my view about this movie. I have about 10+ of her (underage) movies and this last one is by far her most erotic. I'm not sure whether it was the French production company or the French location but here Traci is at her best in a super classy style hardcore movie.
This is not "just another" porn movie, it has a story (but who cares) and it really has some class. There are some very sexy m/f and f/f scenes that you hardly see in other hardcore movies. The great feature about this movie is, that you can see her face in multiply close-up shots; and that is about the most sexiest part of her body.
Try to get your hand on this movie, it is super sexy and has historical value. My Vote = Definitely Above Average
Street of a Thousand Pleasures (1972)
Go for the Trailer
I just saw the 4 min. trailer and the 76 min. full movie. I was blown off my feet. It is just amazing what great crap could be produced in the 1970's - and this is a compliment to many "Sultan-of-Sleaze" directors and actresses. This must be a kinky spin-off from the flower-power generation. There is a story about harems and sheiks but that is not very important. It's all an excuse to make a sex/porn movie. The most amazing about this X-rated 1972 movie is the very explicit sex and nudity, with some BDSM connotations and the exotic location of the Middle-East. This combination is just plain hot. Watching the trailer with a good whiskey, I would rate it 6 or 7; this is above-average stuff in the genre (I have seen some). I do not advise you to see the full movie (it's a waste of whiskey). On the other hand, this movie deserves cult-status; it is so bad that it becomes good. I will rate it a 2 and I hope it ranks in the bottom-100 movie list for the cult-freaks. My advice; the trailer is a must-see, the movie is a no-no.
Death Proof (2007)
Cheep Thills - The Best There Are
I have just seen both Vanishing Point (1971) and Death Proof (2007), USA version - both movies have a lot in common.
This is not one of Quentin's best movies, I agree. They are definitely "Jackie Brown" and "Pulp Fiction". But hey, this is supposed to be a B-movie. It is though very much a Tarantino movie, with all the details, quotes and music (great music). Beautiful girls, hyper violence, foot fetish and quoting a lot of (his own) movies.
This is the second part of the 2007 Grindhouse series, giving Robert Rodriguez all the credits for the first part (with the Machete trailer). They are both good movies.
The movie is divided into two parts with two simple (non) stories. A bunch of lovely girls drink/driving, haunted by a crazy killer male car driver (both played by Kurt Russel). The build-up of the first part is pretty slow (a lot of blabbering girls in a bar), but is pretty haunting and threatening; it has though an explosive ending.
The second part is about a group of lovely female stunt-drivers on a 3-day holiday in USA driving around in a yellow vintage Ford Mustang Mach III (completely unbelievable, but great). They will meet Mike's senior brother. He is not that lucky as his younger brother.
The second part is all about quoting the 1971 "Vanishing Point" movie - it has about the same 1970/1971 white Dodge Challenger RT as the main character. The hood scene with Zoë Bell is a really hot scene.
When you are a Quentin Tarantino addict, this looks likes another of his masterpieces. Cinematography, casting, sound, songs, cutting; all fits in great - for the purpose of a retro B-movie. But I like his other movies better.
Why you should see this movie? 1. It is a Quentin Taratino movie 2. It has some hyper violent scenes 3. He is quoting the culty "Vanishing Point" movie 4. A 1970 Dodge Challenger RT sounds great 5. Zoë Bell is great in the car-chase scene
I give it a 8.0 out of 10.0
