Trailer Trash! Volume 4
Go ahead, live down to your potential.
I made another trailer DVD, because I'm running out of room on my hard drive. Here's the list of offenders, all available on YouTube and whatnot.
1. The Ratings Kitties - You may have seen this early MPAA ad at the beginning of Grindhouse. When Trio let Quentin Tarentino showcase a few of his favorite films (right before NBC pulled their plug), he plopped a few trailers and ads in between the shows, like he was testing the waters for Grindhouse. This was one of them, tacked on to a trailer for Hell's Belles.
2. Barracuda (in French) - Did Ann and Nancy Wilson ever find a scuba diver's head while beachcombing?
3. Blood Freak - Someone saw the boat ride scene in the old Willy Wonka movie and it fucked them up!
4. Daredevil Commandos - This is the preview that would never end!
5. Deadly Spawn - Tim, dammit, you were supposed to stay away from the sweets!
6. Dos Nacos en el Planeta de las Mujeres - Roughly translated, it's "Two Rednecks on the Planet of Babes." And that is not a Pomeranian on the top of Lucero Reynoso's head, but an incredible simulation.
7. Dragstrip Riot - It's not.
8. Fantastic Planet - My boho aunt rented this for the kids one weekend at Grandma's. I hadn't been exposed to a lot of that 60s pop sensibility in the stuff I had seen before. I bought a copy a few years ago and I'm still not sure if it's cooler than cool or it drowns in its own Continental pretentiousness. I guess that kinda sums up most French stuff.
9. Forbidden Photos of a Lady above Suspicion - In the words of my boy Bubbles, "Greeeaaasy!"
10. Funeral Parade of Roses - It's Mana's dad!
11. Hell's Belles - No booze? No drugs? "X" marks the spot on this semi straight-edge biker flick!
12. If You Lose Your Speaker Ad - Don't even think about it!
13. Inframan - I think the Japanese don't like us.
14. Ironmaster (in French) - It's like Robowar, but with cavemen.
15. Jesus Trip - This gospel was lost on purpose.
16. Penitentiary - What do you mean it's not a documentary?
17. Princess and the Call Girl - If Mark Twain saw this, he'd have a heart attack (or a stiffie).
18. Treasure of the Amazon - This looks incredibly trashy. Please tell me everyone dies.
19. The Van - OK, so should I get into the van or not? Either it's psychopaths and pedophiles or fun-loving boys and girls out for a fun time. These mixed messages are just all over the place.
20. Vanishing Point - They absolutely, positively do not make full-length feature films like this anymore.
