TITLE DESCRIPTION TAGGED AS
EASY COME, EASY GO Elvis stars as Ted Jackson, fresh out of the Navy where, completing his work as an underwater demolitions expert who was defusing leftover floating mines, he finds a sunken ship containing a treasure chest. Determined to get the treasure before the standard-issue Elvis movie rich guy, he enlists the aid of his old musician-turned-beatnik pal and a typically cute Elvis movie beatnik girl. , ,
EIGHT DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER Liu Chia-liang's bleak, furious masterpiece about a man seeking revenge for the slaughter of his family. Co-stars Alexander Fu Sheng in his last role before his death. , ,
EIGHTEEN FATAL STRIKES A by-the-books, but not at all bad kungfu comedy provides us with the basis for examining the genre as a whole. Plus, it has a crazy Shaking Eagle style of kungfu! , ,
EMBRACE THE DARKNESS II I'm sure not every vampire feels the need to dress like Marilyn Manson. Some of them probably want to dress like that dude from The Darkness, or like Bruce Springsteen. Now really, what's scarier? A vampire who adopts the predictable "black leather goth rocker" appearance, or one who comes at you in a shiny spandex "space robe" or a pair of faded Levis and a work shirt? ,
ENTER THE EAGLES Shannon Lee gets to beat the crap out of a lot of people and pose with guns, and there are tons of shoot-outs, including the police station setpiece, which ends up being a near thirty-minute long over-the-top action blow-out that includes tons of shooting, kungfu, car chases, people being dragged around on metal ladders dangling from helicopters, and lots of stuff blowing up before our heroes finally make their escape on, of all things, a slow-moving public trolley, where no one seems concerned about the group of heavily armed and bleeding people who just clambered on then got off a stop later without the cops noticing they're carrying guns and wearing body armor. , , , , , , , , ,
ENTER THE NINJA Franco Nero and Sho Kosugi face off as two ninja warriors in the modern day Philippines! It's the movie that kicked off the ninja craze of the 1980s! , , , , ,
ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX This violent, action-packed follow-up to 1990 Bronx Warriors see the heavy metal hero Trash leading a street level revolution against Henry Silva and the forces of a corporation who are looking to demolish the entire Bronx and turn it into a playground for the rich. , , ,
ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA A delightfully tasteless foray into the world of Hong Kong Cat III sleaze and gore films. After accidentally murdering a wizard's sexy sister in Thailand, a bunch of Hong Kong guys become the focus of supernatural revenge. , , ,
EVENT HORIZON It's not that Event Horizon isn't the kind of movie I would write about. Haunted spaceships and Sam Neill ripping out his own eyeballs is right up my alley. No, the reason isn't the content, but rather, that fact that this is one of those movies that already has a lot of words spent on it from a variety of sources both in the mainstream and in the realm of cult film fandom. Under such circumstances, it's hard to imagine what i might have to add that is new. , , , ,
EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN Peter Cushing returns for the curious third film in Hammer's Frankenstein series, an entryt hat wreacks havoc with established continuity and provides us with one of the shabbiest monster make-up jobs ever to disgrace the screen. , , ,
EXECUTIONER (SONNY CHIBA) Sonny Chiba kicks major ass in one of the absolute best karate films of all time. He and two other street toughs must put an end to a drug lord's business, not to mention his life. Buckets of gory violence and shenanigans ensue! , , ,
EXECUTIONER (HENRY SILVA) Tomas Milian is a murderous thug who hides behind rhetoric about a class struggle, and Henry Silva is the pissed off cop out to get him in this super-violent, Umberto Lenzi directed poliziotteschi film. , , ,
THE FACE OF FU MANCHU Sax Rohmer's insidious, fiendish, inscrutible (and so on and so forth) Chinese super-villain is rivived in this colorful, tongue-in-cheek adventure that pits the heroic Nayland Smith against Fu Manchu, who intends to poison the white world! , , , , , ,
THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER Roger Corman's first Edgar Allen Poe adaptation is one of the best American horror films ever made. Vincent Price stars in this sumptuous-looking production as a man driven mad by a family curse embodied by the decaying house around him. , , , ,
FARZ We kick things off with a dastardly plot already in progress. Seems some terrorists in ill-advised scarves are trying to blow up a dam. Luckily, heroic Indian secret agent 303 is on the case with his trusty camera to capture the bad guys red handed. He could have also considered shooting them or perhaps arranging ahead of time -- since he obviously knew where they were going to be -- for some sort of security force to swoop in and capture anyone. , ,
FANTASY MISSION FORCE Jackie Chan, Cheung Ling, Jimmy Wang Yu, and Brigette Lin star in a film where some commandos try to rescue Abraham Lincoln from the Chinese Nazis of World War II. Along the way, they fight vampires and flying Amazons. , , , ,
FIEND WITHOUT A FACE Your own worst enemy is your very own body, and you should fear nothing more than you should fear your own mind -- especially when it squirts out of the back of your skull and flies around throttling people with its little spinal cord tail. It's a classic b-movie that bridges the gap between horror and sci-fi, with plenty of brain matter splatter thrown in for fun! ,
FIRE AND ICE The animated feature film equivalent of trying to buy saucy fantasy comic magazine Heavy Metal at age thirteen, praying that the B. Dalton check-out clerk doesn't realize that the magazine is a veritable horn o' plenty of naked chicks riding dragons around acid-trip landscapes that look like something the guy down the street would have airbrushed onto the side of his custom van. And then, if you do manage to score, you have to forever hide the torrid tome amongst your copies of Dragon magazine for fear that the big-breasted zebra-striped woman on the cover might otherwise arouse parental suspicion, resulting in them just happening to randomly open the magazine to one of the naughtier Guido Crepax stories. , ,
FIRE MONSTER VS. THE SON OF HERCULES The heroic Maciste somehow ends up back in prehistoric times, where he hurls boulders, fights sea serpents and hydras, and kicks around a bunch of surly cavemen who looks like Hell's Angels in this sword and sandal extravaganza. ,
FLESH+BLOOD As long as you don't mind the blood, gore, rape, nudity, festering boil lancing, and bloody chunks of dog meat being flung around, Flesh + Blood is one hell of a good film. , ,
FOR YOUR HEIGHT ONLY This Filipino action film can be summed up as, "A three-foot tall midget superspy in a leisure suit uses a boomerang fishing hat, jet pack, and kungfu to tear a bloody path through the criminal underworld." One would think, with a description that fabulous, that surely For Your Height Only can't live up to expectations. It is a monumental feat, accompanied by angels blowing mightily upon trumpets of gold, that For Your Height Only manages to live up to and perhaps even surpass the expectations instilled in the viewed by so striking a summary. , ,
FOUL KING In this action-comedy hit from Korea, a stressed out bank employee gets fed up with his abusive boss' headlocks and decides to learn pro wrestling, discovering along the way that he may actually have what it takes to become a star in the ring. , ,
