Sleeping Dogs 1977
Having been dumped by his wife for another man, Smith drives off into the countryside, seeking to escape both his own heartbreak and the political upheaval that has turned New Zealand into a quasi fascist state, with leftist rebels battling a far right government. Smith wants no part of such violence, and when he finds a secluded small island with a reasonably priced rent, he thinks he's got it made.

One night, Smith observes a fire in the distance on the mainland, and the following morning a squad of cops arrive to arrest him, accusing him of being a terrorist and of killing a man in a bombing the previous night. Smith is thrown into a cell and left to rot for several days before being informed he is to be tried for treason, a charge which carries the death sentence, but he will be allowed to leave the country if he confesses to his role in the revolution. Smith refuses to offer a false confession and manages to escape on the way to the courthouse, becoming a wanted fugitive...

Beastmaster 1982
After receiving a prophecy that he will die at the hands of the king’s unborn child, the sorcerer Maax transfers the fetus of the child into the womb of a cow and has the cow taken outside the city to be killed. However, the cow’s slaughterers are interrupted and the child is saved. Named Dar, he is adopted by a farmer and grows up into a handsome muscular young man. The circumstances of his birth have left him with the ability to communicate with animals. When his adopted village is slaughtered by wilderness hordes, Dar sets out to find his destiny. He eventually comes to the city of his conception where Maax has usurped the king and instituted a cult of child sacrifice. Aided by the human and animal companions he has gathered along the way, Dar attempts to enter Maax’s temple and free his people.

Trailer Trauma 2016
Why bother whiling away an afternoon watching one or two grindhouse flicks when, in the space of a couple hours and change, you can gawk at hordes of flesh-eating mummies, a gaggle of Santa Clauses getting savagely butchered, a bunch of mobsters skewered by a power drill, undead kids who can melt their parents with a touch, a horned demon rocking a pair of sais, and a cyborg warrior on tank treads? Where else can you see Mr. T, Jean Seberg, Klaus Kinski, James Mason, Jean Claude Van Damme, Smokey Robinson, Harvey Keitel, and Edwige Fenech brought together for the first time? TRAILER TRAUMA delivers all the gruesome, sticky, sleazy, and unrepentantly batshit insane highlights from dozens of drive-in flicks.

There are other movie preview compilation discs out there, but only TRAILER TRAUMA contains the ultra-rare titles that you absolutely will not find anywhere else. Prepare yourselves, connoisseurs of cult cinema: TRAILER TRAUMA is going to hurt... but it hurts so good!

Speedy (1928) 2 x DVD and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Action, Comedy

Speedy 1928 Criterion Collection
Harold Lloyd's final silent film, Speedy, may well be one of the greatest silent action comedies. This isn't an exaggeration. The chase sequences from the film's final act have to be seen to be believed.

Lloyd’s character, Harold ‘Speedy’ Swift, is a normal guy with an abnormally strong love for baseball. He has a terrific girlfriend named Jane (Ann Christy); she’s pretty, level-headed and devoted, and longs for a settled life, which would be a good thing for Speedy, too. Jane’s grandfather, Pop (Bert Woodruff), drives the last horse-drawn streetcar in New York City. Pop’s livelihood stands in the way of a forward-thinking developer, W.S. Wilton (Byron Douglas), who tries to buy him out. When that option fails, Wilton selects force. Can Speedy help there?

The Yakuza Papers: Battles Without Honour and Humanity
While The Godfather romanticized the American Mafia in the early 1970s, Kinji Fukasaku's five-film series known as The Yakuza Papers: Battles Without Honor & Humanity revolutionized the Japanese yakuza film with unprecedented intensity. A post-World War II epic that broke Japanese box-office records, this complex, utterly authentic cycle of gangster films replaced the popular ninkyo or "chivalry" films of the '60s with jitsuroku, an entirely new breed of gangster film that rose from the ashes of Hiroshima and post-war reconstruction, depicting a meticulously detailed "alternate history" (as Japanese film expert Tom Mes observes in the accompanying booklet) that had been ignored by the "official" factual record. Beginning with 1973's Battles Without Honor and Humanity and continuing through four hugely popular sequels, these are bracingly intricate studies in shifting loyalties and gangland chaos, tracking the yakuza career of Shozu Hirono (played by charismatic star Bunta Suguwara), who rises from lowly soldier status in 1946 to "sworn brotherhood" and respected retirement in 1970. Across this quarter-century of death, power, and betrayal, Fukasaku orchestrates nearly 50 characters in four major cities, all vying for dominance in a familial structure so complex that a helpful flow-chart is provided to follow the shifting balance of power.

Men Without Women (1930) DVD5

Posted In: .Other movies, Action, Drama

Men Without Women 1930
After a brief leave in Shanghai, where the sailors are allowed to indulge in plenty of woman and booze, the crew of a U.S. Navy submarine are called back into duty. Attempting to beat the rough weather ahead, the sub collides with another ship, with the submarine beginning to take in water as a result. With water rising and lack of oxygen, the crew begins to wonder if they can survive this accident as tensions begin to rise among the crew. Men Without Women is a story of survival and men having to come face to face with their own mortality.
Men Without Women is an early effort by the legendary filmmaker that was made in the early days of the sound era. The sound version of this early talkie by John Ford has been lost. What survives is the International Sound Version which means that most of the dialogue is conveyed via subtitles but the score, songs, and sound effects from the sound version remain.

Morituri / Saboteur: Code Name Morituri (1965) DVD9, Blu-Ray

Posted In: .Other movies, Action, Drama, Thriller, War

Morituri 1965
Based on a novel by Werner Jorg Luedecke, a former German naval attache stationed in Tokyo, this WWII melodrama charts the journey of a German freighter from Tokyo to occupied France in 1942.

Robert Crain (Marlon Brando) is a German pacifist living in India during World War II Identified by British intelligence, Crain is blackmailed into performing a mission for the Allied cause, although he makes it clear that he cares only for his own life. He must impersonate an SS officer and go aboard a merchant ship bound for Europe from Japan, which contains a valuable shipment of rubber. His job is complicated by the fact that the British want him not to just destroy the vessel but prevent the scuttling of the ship so that its cargo can be captured. The captain of the S.S. Ingo is Rolf Mueller (Yul Brynner), who has his own troubles with the Nazis, and the ship itself is manned by a motley crew of career sailors and political prisoners pressed into duty by a lack of experienced seamen.
The voyage becomes a battle of wits between the Captain and Crain and is complicated by the arrival of some American refugees and a German Jew (Janet Margolin), the survivors of a sunken ship.

Bernhard Wicki, the German director of the acclaimed WWII drama, The Bridge (1959), was selected to helm the feature, working from a script by the Oscar®-winning screenwriter Daniel Taradash (From Here to Eternity (1953), Picnic (1955)).
