I love B movies!

recently my interest has been triggered by "proper" B-movies...
for those who share the same interest it's easy to know what the word "proper" refers to, for those who are new to this, "proper" refers to the fact that everything in that movie has been purposely done to mimic one of those low budget movies rampant in the 60s-70s-80s...
Whether based on action, horror (mostly zombie or monster stories) or sci-fi, many of the original ones had bad quality audio/video, cheap special effects, microphone poppinig into the frame from above and even missing reels (so the plot gets unintentionally screwed).
An excellent example is "Grindhouse": 2 movies back to back (Planet Terror & Deathproof) by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Back to back in a sort of oldies drive-in style (already genius!)


What can I say? Planet terror is on the Zombie movie style (a spreading desease due to an experimental bio-weapon gone wrong...) featuring Bruce Willis in the cast; one of the best (or worst) thing in that movie is that one of the main characters (Rose McGowan as Cerry Darling) gets her leg chopped off and she replaces it with a functioning AK47!!!

 

before the movie starts there's a showreel of a "coming soon" movie, the movie is MACHETE...
very recently the movie came out for REAL and featured a full cast: Robert de Niro, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Danny Trejo (the fully tattooed mexican villain in many Tarantino's movies) as Machete, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan...



Another movies that I recently watched and really blew my mind is "Black Dynamite", set in the 70s, afro american (can you dig it?) action movie, absolutely BRILLIANT!!! among the best things: microphone almost banging the actor's head (who then looks at it!!!), police car getting to a crime scene, officials getting out of it and forgetting to put the handbrake on...


Are you a fan of explosions, blood splattering everywhere, sexy chicks fighting and using big guns? Then "Bitch Slap" is the movie for you...

 

You want Zombies and sexy chicks??? You MUST watch Zombie Strippers!!! starring Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund...


If Zombies and sexy chicks is not enough for you, I can add Japanese vixens on it! Be ready for "Big Tits Zombie"!!!!



that's all for now, as soon as I come across another "proper" B movie, I'll post it here...
