Machete Maidens Unleashed






From the guy who did NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD comes another documentry about genre and ezplottion filma this time concentrating on the Fillipino made films of Roger Corman's New World Pictures and the hundreds of woman in jepordy films that came out in the 70s.

It is a talking head documentry with Roger Corman, John Landis, Joe Dante, Pam Grier, Jack Hill and many many more ofering insights into a crazy gung-ho era of film making where tita and ass were used to sell tickeys and the Philipines were a cheap sourxe of government sponsered labour.

From the Markos regime stoppimg by at the making of Apocalypse Now and ending up with the short story of Weng Weng the Philipines "biggest" star director Mark Hately once more delves into the thick of it the only crticism that the subject matter is not as deep and varied as that of the history of Australian explotation.

Semi-erect.
