The late-great Lindsay Shonteff’s marvellous pastiche of the espionage genre is a veritable hoot, helped in no small part by a truly zesty performance by Nicky Henson. Richard Todd makes for a most enjoyable nemesis; all in all ‘Her Majesty’s Top Gun’ is a sterling effort from the exploitation legend Shonteff.
The director of ‘SST Death Flight’ flexes his nascent disaster movie muscles on this his early, and decidedly sterling effort. (Always a pleasure to see Ben Johnson in anything!)
Entertaining disaster schlock with a truly epic cast of disaster movie veterans!
Renowned and profoundly talented Italian director Ettore Scola directs another fine entry within the giddy idiom of iconoclastic Italian crime cinema. ‘Il Commissario Pepe’ is replete with yet another gonzoid performance from that most robust of performers Ugo Tognazzi, delirious eye candy is supplied by the delicious euro-babe Silvia Dionisio, with solid funk Grooves supplied by groove-meister general Amando Trovaioli.
The legendary figure of Romano Scavolini mines yet more sleazoid gold in this grimy spy thriller; while not quite as lurid as his effortlessly offensive ‘Nightmare’, it is nonetheless a profoundly rewarding excursion within the violent, murky, internecine world of international espionage.
Very rare Austrian horror with euro cult icons Marisa Mell & William Berger. (German language only!)
Cult horror classic, rightly praised by the mighty Bleeding Skull Blog. (Which remains my favourite film review site)
Rare sleazy Giallo from 1980.
The infamous Satan’s Blade cuts a deep swathe into mid 80’s DTV horror.
Some gonzoid, action lunacy from Ed Hunt that simply must be seen to be believed!
