slave girls from beyond infinity (1987)

"You inhuman fiend."
Daria and Tisa (Elizabeth Kaitan & Cindy Beal) escape from a prison in space, but have to land on a nearby planet. Unfortunately this puts them in the clutches of Zed (Don Schribner), who uses the planet to play the Most Dangerous Game, and the girls become his latest prey.

A tongue in cheek film, for those who need nothing more than voluptuous women in bikini's to keep them happy.

nazi love camp 27 (1977)

aka La svastica nel ventre. Living Nigtmare.
"A piece of chocolate can mean life."
A German couple, one Jewish (Sirpa Lane), one Aryan (Roberto Posse), fall in love. Unfortunately the war interrupts. He is sent to fight, whilst she is sent to serve as a prostitute in a love camp. There she is fortunate that she catches the eye of the commandant, who charged with creating the best brothel in the third Reich, arianises her and makes her the madam. Meanwhile her prewar love believes she has died...
Its lurid title suggests something more low rent; it cannot escape its origins, but is one of the better made Nazisploitation's out there.

love camp 7 (1969)

"For the next five days you are going to be whores for the 3rd Reich..."
World War II and two female agents (Maria Lease & Kathy Williams) go undercover at a Nazi 'love camp' to obtain valuable information from a scientist being held there.
Hailed as the first Nazisploitation, this is in reality poor in every respect, and the unsavory acts depicted are just plain nasty. As entertainment, this fails on so many levels.

last cannibal world (1977)

aka Ultimo mondo cannibale. Cannibal. Jungle Holocaust. The Last Survivor. Carnivorous.
"It's very dangerous here."
Oil prospector Robert Harper (Massimo Foschi) is looking for some missing coleagues in the jungle of the Philippines, when he is captured by a cannibal tribe. After much humiliation he manages to escape and attempts to find a way home.
Standard fare for the Italian cannibal genre: The usual mix of gruesome eating scenes, mixed with animal cruelty.

no room to die (1969)

aka Una lunga fila di croci.
"I ain't doing it for the money." bounty hunter Brandon (Anthony Steffen) comes to a Texan border town in search of those illegally transporting mexicans across the border. Also in town is the Preacher (William Berger), and when Brandon saves his life branden suggests they team up...
Run of the mill western, with lots of the set pieces from better Westerns, enlivened by a double cross motif, but what lets it down is the prosaic direction and lack of charisma from the stars.

willie dynamite (1974)

"This is a business baby, a production line..."
Willie (Roscoe Orman) is a pimp, who believes he's created the ideal business model, seven girls, who he aims to use to become number one player in New York city. But whilst trying to keep the other pimps and cops off his case, he is dogged by the toughest social worker (Diana Sands) you'll ever meet, who is determined to make him change his ways.
Not your average blacksploitation, but one that plays with the cliche's running through the core of this tragedy.

x: the unheard music (1986)

"Led Zeppelin doing Robert Johnson songs isn't a good influence, but Robert Johnson is."
From out of the Hollywood punk scene of the late 70's came a band called X, who tell their story in an imaginative and interesting way, with a fine use of archive footage.
