Exploitation/Drive-In Appreciation Thread

[nightowl]

I've been slowly soaking up all these films up like a sponge. Exploitation/Drive-In have quickly become my favorite genre.

For those who don't know what Exploitation is, it's basically an genre that exploits something. Example:Sexploitation exploits sex or Spaghetti western exploits Italians. Personally, one of my favorite genres because of it's wide range of goodies.

Recommend some films, write mini reviews or just talk about Exploitation Films.

Current top 10:

Rolling Thunder
Shogun Assassin
Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry
Death Rides A Horse
They Call Her One Eye
Death Weekend
Walking Tall
Psychomania
Silent Night,Deadly Night
Five Fingers Of Death

Hell yeah, love Exploitation!

Some favorites... the Ilsa franchise, various WIP titles, Savage Streets, House on the Edge of the Park, and many more.

My favourite rape and revenge film.

For anybody interested there's a review up on my site. Just scroll down to the 'Top 10 Articles' section on the right hand side.


If you haven't seen these yet then you need to...

The first three are all great and the last is pretty solid. Go seek.

The first three are some of the very best exploitation cinema you will ever see. The last while not quite as good due to having a different director and a smaller budget is still well worth a watch and is ultimately satisfying.

I wish the box set wasn't out of print. If only they were on youtube...

Have a good search and you will find a torrent that has all four films. Just type in "female prisoner scorpion".

I'd like to see those.

Rolling Thunder is damn good. And I also really like Thriller: A Cruel Picture.

Hopefully it includes English subtitles!

'Rolling Thunder' is one of the very finest revenge films.

I'm pretty sure the subtitles are hardcoded. If not then you should be able to find them easy on Subscene.

Yeah, I wish Criterion or somebody would give it a real DVD/Blu-ray release with some special features.

It deserves so much better.

I concur! Rolling Thunder is probably my favorite revenge film, hard to say though since there are so many good ones.

Love to see that happen, but I'll take a bare bones over nothing.

Death Rides A Horse is also one of my more favorite Spaghetti Western revenge films.



For anybody who is just getting into Kung Fu films, I recommend starting with the Sonny Chiba(he's like a badass version of Bruce Lee) and go see The Streetfighter

[Scorpion_#701]

Death Rides A Horse is also one of my more favorite Spaghetti Western revenge films.

I re-watched DRAH again not so long ago. It's a great SW revenge film. Quentin Tarantino took some of its visual styles for 'Kill Bill: Volume 1'.

[lostforever]

Haven't seen Death Rides a Horse. I got to check it out. Nice title.
