Zombie Holocaust

So what's up for today you ask? Well, today I have two trailers for the same film: Marino Girolamis Zombie Holocaust aka. Doctor Butcher M.D. (Medical Deviate) [1980]. As you probably have guessed, it's a zombie-flick. It was filmed on the same set at Fulcis Zombie 2 (1979), and I think (although I'm not sure) that it also uses some of the same footage.

The first trailer is the international one. It gives away a little to much of the plot/gore, but it's still great fun to watch.

The second is made for the American market and focuses very much on a very mad doctor doing human experiments... it's not a "mad doctor" film, it's a zombie (and cannibal) film.

What is interesting here, is to see how different the films were promoted. The international trailer show what the film is really about, but the American gives the viewer a completely wrong impression of what the film is about. Check them out:

Zombie Holocaust, 13,9Mb.

Doctor Butcher M.D (Medical Deviate), 7,78Mb.

Also, check out this poster for Doctor Butcher. Goes along with the same theme as the trailer.

I found this poster over at The Poster Pit. Lots of cool posters from many different genres. Check it out!

What's up, doc?

In the world of the blogs these days, more and more blogs about music is just popping up. That's why I have updated the links to the right. You shold check them out if you haven't already!

I also have some plans to put up a small collection of Lucio Fulci trailers soon. At the moment I have 10, but I expect to get a few more very soon. The excact date I can't tell you, but it'll probably be within a couple of weeks... so stay tuned folks!

Kill Bill

This trailer is often reffered to as the bootleg trailer. It came out before it was decided that Kill Bill was going to be split into two volumes.

Check it out here, 8,27Mb.

Indiana Jones Trilogy

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been pretty busy with school and similar stuff lately. But I have a little treat for you today, the trailers for all three of the Indiana Jones films. The first and third are the best, the second is a little to short in my opinion. Check them out if you like.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, 8,48Mb.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 4,75Mb.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, 7,42Mb.

Enjoy!

One Night At McCool's

I thought it was time to give you guys a "Norwegian" film. One Night At McCool's (1999) is Harald Zwarts first (of at the moment two) Hollywood films. I like this film; great humour, great story, great actors/actresses.

This trailer starts with a few glimpses of Liv Tyler in the infamous carwashscene. And what a scene! A few more glimpses comes later in the trailer. The trailer pretty much sums up what the film is about: a few guys all falling in love with Liv. It has one little spoiler about Paul Risers charater though, but not that serious.

Check it out here, 7,64Mb. The trailer has Chinese subtitles.

DVD Recommendation: Mondo Macabro's Virgins From Hell

Well, it more the second disk of this Special Edition from Mondo Macabro that I am thinking of: Destination: Jakarta. The disk has a collection of 21 trailers from the Indonesian studio Rapi Films, and features trailers from a wide angle of genres. From crazy supernatural adventures, to war movies, to WIP films, chicks with guns, revenge flicks, demons, and martial arts! The Indonesians certainly have been productive over the years, that’s for sure.

The trailers on the disk are:

- The Snake Queen
- The Devil's Sword
- The Warrior
- The Warrior And The Ninja
- The Warrior Against The Blind Swordsman
- The Blind Warrior
- Virgins From Hell
- Escape From Hell Hole
- Blazing Battle
- Hell Raiders
- Tiger Commandos
- Freedom Force
- Daredevil Commandos
- The Terrorists
- Final Score
- Violent Killer
- Bloody Vengeance
- Revenge Of Ninja
- Primitives
- Slave Of Satan
- Mystics In Bali

Many of the films stars the legend of Indonesian cinema, Barry Prima. This fellow made between 20-30 films in about 20-25 years, and established himself as one of the greates action heroes in his home country. Probably best known for his role as Jaka Sembung, aka. The Warrior.

The quality of the trailers is pretty good, considering that the age and budget these film were made of. Most are taken from a VHS copy. All but one (Slave of Satan) have English soundtrack. All in all a decent disk. Length is about 70 minutes.

The disk also has a documentary on Indonesian exploitation cinema, and features interviews with directors, actors, producers, films critics, etc. and is a very interesting little piece. Only thing bad about it, is that it is too short, with only 25 minutes.

Destination: Jakarta is worth the buy if you’re interested in an alternative to the slick films of Hollywood. It is only available in the Virgins from Hell release.

And as a "bonus", you get Virgins from Hell ;) A great film about an all girl biker gang, dressed in leather hot pants (you got to love hot pants!), lots of guns, fighting, etc. You won't be bored!



This is my favourite of all the trailers! Laserbeams shooting from hands, crocodile men, flying stones, crocodile spitting flames AND laserbeams!!! That's all I'm gonna say.

Check it out here, 12,8Mb.
