From Asian B-Movie film producer/ director Tomas Tang; head of Filmark International. Tomas originally worked with Godfrey Ho in the early 80's before splitting and makin' his own cut-n-paste cinema. Tang's cut-n-paste style is horrible and a fuckin' mess.

Robo Vampire has a Thai revenge subplot cut into it. Which I discovered is actually a film called "Golden Triangle." But never mind that subplot. (you can fast forward all that shit) The reason to watch this is for the cheesy Robocop rip off element. This guy's Robocop outfit looks like it was made with tin foil and junkyard trash. The junkyard trash - robocop man must destroy the evil Asian drug lord who is hiding his drug stash within a group of hopping vampires!
Here's an example of the awesome dialogue:

"Now that Tom is dead, I want to use his body to create an android-like robot. I'd appreciate you approving my application."
- Bearded Guy

"You're assured of success?"
- Glen

"Yes."
- Bearded Guy

"Okay. It's approved."
- Glen

Then 30 seconds later this Robo-rip off is in full effect, homie.

Aka "Savage Dawn."
I've got a serious hard one for Filipino grindhouse director Cirio H. Santiago. His directing skill for trash is by far the worst - bottom of the barrel - rip off shit. This time my main man decides to rip off The Road Warrior. Cirio tackled the post apocalyptic genre with a string of titles. Wheels of Fire, Dune Warriors and Equalizer 2000 to name a few.

After a nuclear explosion (that is never explained) gangs of people must fight for survival and search for water since the Earth's supply has been depleted.
Ya get about 80 minutes of car chases and crappy dialogue which is perfect for this type of flick. And ya get Jawas rip off midgets that jump out and shoot ya with bow n arrows! Those little fuckin' bastards.This movie is available with the Grindhouse Experience 20 Film Set Vol. 2. If you like coming to this site and don't own it WTF are ya waiting for? Here's an action sequence clip from this 80's masterpieceofshit...

I'm slammin' down yet another Enzo G. Castellari (Inglorious Bastards, Great White) directed feature. Why? Cause he's guaranteed to deliver the finest quality Italian trash cinema known to man.
Right next to Bruno Mattei and Antonio Margheriti, of course.

In a post-apocalyptic New York City, a policeman infiltrates the Bronx, which has become a battleground for several murderous street gangs. My homeboy, Fred Williamson, is in the pic along with Vic Morrow. Two classic actors in my humble opinion. Vic was the actor that died in a helicopter accident on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Which happened right after he shot this flick. If John Carpenter's Escape From New York and Walter Hill's The Warriors fucked and had a baby that baby would be The Bronx Warriors. The dialogue is horrendous, the lead character's name is Trash and the cheesy 80's hair-dos make this flick a winner.
Top all this off with a good amount of gore added to the action sequences...what more can I say. Nothing. Here's the original theatrical trailer.

Aka "Badi". This is the Turkish rip-off of E.T. and it's as bad as you think it is. This extra terrestrial is basically a midget in a trash bag! He's also reads porn mags and farts giant dust clouds. It's a beautiful thing. This version didn't have the budget to buy some Reese's Pieces candy, instead they use some candy that looks like a chunk of dirt n' gravel. Here's the ghetto recreation of bicycle scene:Like other old school Turkish flicks this isn't subtitled. But really does it matter? It's practically a scene for scene rip-off. Check out this ridiculousness:It's another title you can watch the majority of on youtube - so check it. I've decided to post a quick clip of E.T. farting. Instant classic.

WOW. This is some horrible shit! A grown man in an apesuit destroying model sets. It's waaaay outta hand my brotha. Also, this was originally released in 3-D, so you can expect to see stuff get blatantly thrown at the camera.

This film is listed among the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award's book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE.

The opening has the wannabe King Kong fightin' a wannabe Jaws. That alone makes it worth seening. And another thing, look for the "Tonka" logo on the trucks he hurls through the air...classic.
And here's the greatest 12 seconds I can possibly give ya. So watch it twice.

I may have topped myself with this post. Yor is so much trashy fun just thinkin' about it makes me wanna watch it again.

Yor is played by Reb Brown and he is one of the cheesiest action heroes this galaxy has ever laid eyes on. It all starts off with a little prehistoric action (dinosaurs) and then takes a hard left halfway through to morph into a Star Wars rip-off with a spaceship full of Darth Vaders. Fuck yeah!Another great aspect is the theme song and I demand you listen now! So ridiculous. Damn, I need to get me a copy of that soundtrack.

Here's the original TV spot that manages to sum it all up in 34 seconds:

Aka Supermen Donuyor. It's time for a Turkish rip-off! Honestly, do the Turkish know how to do anything else? And damn, when they do it - its horribly bad slash awesome.

Okay the IMDb plot summary will do the trick on this one: Born out of a Christmas ornaments-filled heaven, Turkish Superman fights the mob in order to save the day!

Another note worthy fact is the director's first name is Kunt. Wow. I wonder if that's a common Turkish first name?

Check out how douchey this Superman is. Do you think he can stick out his chest more?
The best part of old school Turkish cinema is the films aren't subtitled or overdubbed. Luckily, everything is a U.S. rip off!

Here's a montage of scenes from this bottom of the barrel trash:

Great White aka The Last Shark is another one from everybody's favorite Italian director Enzo G. Castellari. It's the Jaws rip-off that caused Spielberg to force Universal to pull this out of theatres! Universal won the lawsuit and the movie was pulled from North American theaters shortly after its release.

And god damn! They ripped Jaws 1 and 2 hard to make this classic cheese. Some of the footage looks like stock and often when the shark attacks it looks so friggin' plastic is laughable. And that's why this shit rocks.

Do you think this guy survives the plastic shark teeth? This is the original T.V. spot with a "Great White" voice over guy to get ya all hyped up for this masterpiece of trash cinema!

The Deadly Spawn aka Return of The Aliens: The Deadly Spawn is an Alien rip-off flick. Actually the producers tried to add "Return" to the title to make it seem like the actual sequel to Alien. Tricky Bastards!

My favorite scene is when a group of old ladies are hanging out having a good time until the little alien babies invade their home and begin to suck their blood like leeches.

These aliens will gnaw your damn head off and spit out your fuckin' skull.This flick is super gory. A must see for any fan of the genre. Luckily, Synapse Films has put out a quality DVD worthy of picking up.

Eventually they take over the small town, growing bigger and bigger...

I figured what better time than to post a Raiders rip-off? Specifically, an Italian Raiders rip-off. All the Indy-like elements are here: ancient boobytraps, rats, snakes and even a giant rolling stone! Some scenes are shots of miniatures (model train sets) that look like...well, miniatures.

This stars David Warbeck (Fulci's The Beyond) who looks a lot like Roger Moore.

We are stuck in a cave with the wannabe Indy and the wannabe Sallah character as seen in the pic below. The Sallah character rules. He's accidently funny and he has a lazy eye!Overall, this is a fun rip-off if your into the Indy series and looking for a good laugh. Here's the Italian trailer...

The mother of all Star Wars rip-offs is Starcrash. A laugh out loud space opera that is so ridiculous it blows me to the back wall each time I view it.

Carolyn Munro (70's hottie!) stars in this intergalatic adventure. Its all here. The bad dialogue, spaceships, droids and a planet of scantily clad amazon women in leather outfits lookin' right. The special effects are so freakin' horrible it will leave you speechless. This being an Italian rip-off the actors are also badly dubbed just to make it even worse. Worse in the have a smoke and crack a brew kinda way.

I'll sum it up in 4 simple words: David Hasselhoff lightsabre battle!
Please tell me they have Starcrash action figures. If so, I want the bald green guy shown below.

Lock on to the trailer below. Stay on target, stay on target...

Yup, you may have guessed by the title, this is a Terminator rip off. I'd sum up the plot, but I think you can figure it out.

Sure, this movie came out in 1988 which was after the grindhouse craze. But I say forget that, this puppie is classic grind straight from Indonesia. The tagline on the poster alone is horribly brilliant. The dialogue is so aweful is turns into comedy gold! In fact, at one point someone says "I'm not a lady, I'm an anthropologist!"

This Terminator dismembers her male victims in unthinkable manners. She's one nasty bitch.
I'd rather watch this over the James Cameron version any fuckin' day. Why you ask? This version has more sex, violence and mullets.

The DVD was released by Mondo Macabro and they did a great job on this disc. The transfer is decent, there's a doc on Indonesian exploitation cinema and alternate scenes. What more can you ask for from a rare film? Now watch the freakin' trailer!
