Desert kickboxer (1992)

Navajo kickboxer stops competing when he realises he loves violence a bit to much and becomes a policeofficer in the desert. He encounters a couple escaping from a criminal organisation and must help them fight the bad guys.

Wait a minute, indian kickboxer in the desert kicking ass? This movie is so from the 90ies, it has some cliche´s like a blonde badass badguy , eagles appearing during practice, and of course, professional hitmen who cant shoot. It also has some desert rape,badass bikers,  a retard  and small amounts of violent desert kickboxing.

King-Ka Kayasit aka The magic lizard (1985)

Now this is some weird shit, and by weird I mean superduperultra weird! In this exposé of thai demencia we meet King-Ka, a giant rollerskating lizard, who is guarding a sacred and very powerful crystal in a cave beneath the temple. All of a sudden a spaceships invades Thailand and the evil giant Jum killer appears with his lightsabre and steals the crystal and flies off to the moon. King-Ka then awakens Yak Wat Jang so that he can fly to the moon, battle Jum killer and return the crystal before the earth is destroyed by the evil giant.

 King-Ka  spends almost the whole movie running around with his high pitched voice, dancing with animals and escaping from lizardhunters and crocodiles before reused scenes from Yak Wang Yang vs Jumborg ace sums it all up. Not that its bad in any way since this is some serious, hilarious and demented stuff in a kind of bad acid trip sort of way. We have talking animals, dancing elephants, rollerskating flying lizzards and giant mosquitos sucking thai men ( yes, you read it right) . And of course some serious bullshit, litteraly bullshit as the lizard actually takes a whole dump in his ...before putting his tail up the bulls...well you just have to see it for yourself.

Symptoms aka The blood virgin (1974)

Helen (Angela Pleasence) invites her friend Anne (Lorna Heilbron) to stay in her desolate forest mansion but everything isnt quite what it seems to be. Why was she really invited? What deadly secrets lurk within those old walls? Will she live long enough to find out?


José Ramón Larraz delivers an psycho(logical) story about love, lies, murder  and deceit .  Beatiful british countryside scenery with just the right touch of grittyness and old dark house feel, and of course fullblown dementia.To be honest, nothing much happens until the end but Angela "Bloodvirgin" Pleasence (Daughter of  Donald Pleasence) keeps the movie going just fine until its bloodsoaked finale.
