I probably watch a lot of this kind of stuff, but I don't know exactly what makes a movie "exploitation" cause I'm dumb. My friends and I were working our way through a DVD of what could be described as "Nursesploitation" right after we watched the aforementioned Andy Sidarius movies (I wish there were more guys like this guy, his stuff is gold - pure gold).
Personally I like the delinquent schoolgirl movies from the late 60s/70s in Japan with stuff like the Rika movies, the female prison scorpion movies, the girl boss movies, and what not. Like most of these things they are pretty formulaic, but they are fun. Half of the plots remind you of Lady Snowblood, just not period pieces. Though I guess there are exploitation movies in that genre too, like the amazing Hanzo The Razor movies (Which are a must watch if you like the guy who played the older 60/70s Zaitoichi the blind swordsman). The Hanzo movies have some great action, high blood pressure blood spray, and some weird sex/torture stuff if that is your bag. lololol. I probably watch way too much weird Japanese stuff.

Anyway, one of the things we discussed there and that I’ve heard elsewhere is that an exploitation film in the most basic sense has an element that can be exploited. Understandably then it can be applied to many, many films as it can be understood to be very broad. |

Ended up watching Soul Vengence AKA Welcome Home Brother Charles.
I got the Xenon DVD and I have always heard this version is slightly cut.
It is a blaxploitation/horror film. Young black man is arrested by the police. One of the cops threathens to cut off the young man's penis. WHile in jail for years our lead actor learns how to grow his penis to any length and can also hypnotized people with it.
Once out of jail he uses his new superpowers to get revenge on the judge,jury and cops that did him wrong.
Yep it is as far as I know the only English language killer penis movie.

For me an exploitation film is any film that isn't a A level movie from a major studio,that also mostly played drive ins and grind houses for years. There is many many sub-genres in the exploitation genre. Stuff like Bruceploitation,all the fake Bruce Lee movies made after he died. Blaxploitation which is stuff like Dolemite,Coffy,Sheba Baby and Hell up in Harlem. Nunsploitation which is stuff like Ken Russell's The Devils and many many Italian made films from the 60s and 70s. Women in Prison films like Caged Heat,Big Bamboo Cage or Locked up. Thanks to most grindhouse theaters and drive ins closing now most of your exploitation films go straight to DVD/streaming. |

Speaking of Bruceploitation I really have to start watching the Top Fighters 10 film collection I have. From the reviews I’ve read the quality is all over the place, but mostly crap. Although there is a rare Sonny Chiba film in there presented with the original Japanese audio track. |

I love Bruceploitation movies, own quite a lot of them, some of my favourites are
The Dragon Lives Again - Bruce Lee teams up with among others Popeye to take on villains including James Bond, Clint Eastwood, The Exorcist and Emmanuelle
The Clones of Bruce Lee - what it says on the tin, as 3 of the Bruceploitation actors so it's good value for money
Challenge of the Tiger - just an whole lot of fun, Bruce goes one on one with a bull, also for some reason there is a topless tennis scene (paired on DVD with For Your Height Only, a James Bond spoof starring 2'99"" actor Weng Weng)
Also recommend people check out anything Godfrey Ho did (Bruceploitation or not)

I do enjoy these kind of films but honestly don't where to start/look to get into them properly. I seem to stumble upon them (horror exploitation) more than anything else. So by various exploitation genre what are some good starting points? I'd suggest picking up one of the cheap DVDs that's just a collection of trailers of the different exploitation genres, see what strikes your fancy and go from there. You might be into sexploitation, blaxploitation, teensploitation, grindhouse, Drive-In, nudie-cutie, euro-horror, women-in-prison, mondo, camp, cult, etc. There's a lot of very different ground and eras. This sampler offers the widest ranging bang for your buck: www.ebay.com/itm/Something-Weird-Video-Extra-Weird-Sampler-DVD-2002-90-Movie-Trailers/333311444466?epid=3427621&hash=item4d9ae905f2:m:mA7i3Dpwwak6Hkx__OLXzRAThere's a new series of trailer tape collections under the name "Drive-In Delirium", five Blu-ray releases each with between 4 and 6 hours of trailers. Love'em all! |

I don't think it's Exploitation but I do know of another English langue killer penis movie, One-Eyed Monster. The movie which I think was made in the last ten years, has an alien posses Ron Jeremy's penis while shooting a porno in a remote location. The possessed penis removes itself from him before the killing start, but still it's a penis and well it kills a lot of people. |

Another one that isn’t classic exploitation or anything, but the post reminded me of is the Netflix movie Bad Johnson. It’s about a womanizer whose penis revolts, leaves his body, and runs amok. I don’t think it kills people or anything, but it’s pretty whacky for something you can just find on Netflix. I’d definitely be interested in Soul Vengeance though. It sounds like a good campy horror/blaxploitation hybrid. I love that stuff as some of the most fun I’ve had in years was watching The Thing With Two Heads. That motorcycle scene just doesn’t end! |

Finished up another Something Weird triple feature today. The last film on the disc was The Brick Dollhouse. To give you an idea of its quality, on the DVD audio commentary David F. Friedman calls it, “A terrible piece of crap.” And remember that’s David F. Friedman saying that.

A little late, but I capped off my October by watching Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde. Excellent Blaxploitation by the same guy who made Blacula.
It’s by a different guy, but I’ve also wanted to see Blackenstein for about two decades now. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I read lots of bad reviews, but I don’t watch a lot of these movies expecting great stuff. I first became interested in it in the early 2000s when I got my copies of Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream. I think Blakenstein was available on DVD then, but I could only find it for $20+ or so whereas I could get the Blacula movies for about $10 or less each.

Oddly my cousin's 7 year old son loved it. |

 Funland (1987) I watched this yesterday and during it was surprised I never saw this awesome, seldom talked about horror movie before. Then I got to the 50 minute mark, realized there were still no kills, and it was not in fact a horror movie. I also began to realize why it wasn’t talked about more. It’s a shame because the film has so much that works for it. It starts with an obnoxious clown filming a commercial, which he keeps messing up. We learn that the clown was an accountant, but had a breakdown. The owner loves him though and says as long as he is alive, the clown, Bruce Burger has a job. You already know the next step. The owner dies and the new owners who are a mob family end up firing Burger. Along the way Burger has hallucinations where he thinks old wax figures are coming to life and talking to him. Also, the owner comes back as a ghost hallucination and reveals the mob had him killed. Burger decides to shoot not the mob family, but another clown who has been brought in to replace him. The potential is always there for a clown rampage, but without spoiling it too much the trigger never really gets pulled. Some of the dark and often un-PC humor lands and the movie is chalk full of 1980s goodness. Fortunately the director went onto have more success with making the Sleepaway Camp sequels. |

I watched Last House on the Beach tonight. It’s a late to the party Italian cash-in on the infamy generated by Last House on the Left. This one starts off sloooow. In fact it could be played on TV uncensored pretty much until about 25 minutes in when you see boobs. For the most part this movie is a lot more tame than Last House on the Left...until it isn’t. There is one scene in particular that you’ll understand what I mean when you see it. It’s shot in a pretty sanitized way but even then. It’s a pretty extreme act. Also, without spoiling it the ending is pretty cool  |

Finally in like 2004 a decent VHS rip appeared on the sadly long gone Tracker 3. Grabbed it and after watching the movie....WOW that is one brutal film in many ways. |

I watched Cannibal Terror (1980) tonight. I love how the IMDB trivia section makes a point to mention it was much less graphically violent than other movies like Cannibal Holocaust. I mean it’s absolutely true but at the same time this isn’t exactly a Disney movie what with a woman being torn apart and eaten, a rape scene, and plenty of grizzly murders.
I did get a kick out of finding out that the director never actually bothered to watch the movie. It played at Cannes of all places back in the day and the audience laughed their asses off and mocked it the whole way through. The producer then brought the director up to take credit and he was completely embarrassed.
It’s not like the director had much of a distinguished career either. On IMDB Cannibal Terror is his film with the most ratings, about 650. After that he mostly just directed smut some of which not a single person bothered to rate or review.
