A super spy goes up against a criminal organization in a quest to uncover an ill-gotten treasure. The treasure map is divided into two halves, adding to the difficulty. This take-off on the James Bond craze featured Malasia secret agent, Jeffri Zain. During the 1960s, Shaw Brothers released several of their films in two versions -- one for the Chinese market and one for the Malay market. The Malay films would share some scenes with the HK version, but a number other scenes were replaced with scenes using Malaysian actors. This is one such rare film. |

In addition to the heroic jungle man, some wild animals and angry natives, this entertaining Ballywood classic features a helpful dog (instead of a chimp), an imbecilic caveman like sidekick, a killer King Kong like ape creature, a secret elixir which can grant immortality and Leela -- a sexy jungle girl.

A downtrodden man is beset by a selfish wife and a nasty boss. He comes upon a statue that comes to life, and decides to help his situation. The statue-spirit gives the man a Magic Dick, which not only is gigantic -- but it can also leave the man's body, fly around, and perform sex on it's own. The film -- a cross between Sex and Zen and Erotic Ghost Story -- has goofy humor, bizarre fantasy, and scores of naked woman. Wow! |

Due to the title, you might expect a Disney family film, but you'd in for quite a shock. This is actually one of the most violent films ever -- but in a cheerful sort of way. A mutating-monster-prison-warden and a plethora of gruesome and bizarre murderers, all try to kill a new convict in a maximum security prison. One killer tries to strangle his foe using his own disemboweled intestines! The term "over-the-top" seems insufficient. |

Snake worshiping women are in charge of a mountain tribe, where a curse is placed on any man who leaves his wife and doesn't return. One victim's stomach swells, and when it's cut open, snakes/ leeches and centipedes pour out. As a side note, what makes this film so notorious is the demented extra who eats a number of live animals on camera -- an activity he reportedly enjoyed in real life, as well.

This Shaw Brothers classic is often compared to Dr. No -- and while this isn't exactly a spy film and there's no James Bond -- the style and concept of the two films are quite similar. An adventurer steals a treasure map, and gets mixed up with gangsters, pirates, killers and beautiful women. All involved are trying to find a buried treasure. Lots of fun in a super-cool, 1960s sort of way. |

Patchwork film which combines footage of an eleven year old film, with newer footage -- in a mix-in-match style which was perfected by Godrey Ho. However, in the old footage, the heroes wear orange costumes with masks. While in the new scenes, they have red outfits with no masks, so mix-and-don't-match is more accurate. A team of super heroes deal with criminals invading the Olympic games. Meanwhile, a secret organization -- with a devil leader, a super-cool robot, some bikini-clad assassins, and followers who wear green KKK outfits -- is up to no good. Simply amazing! (NS) |

The childhood story of Snow White is retold -- but through the twisted minds of Taiwan filmmakers. This version features dragons, monsters, a cyclops, martial arts action, magic spells, some monkey men and an evil wizard. And I don't recall the Disney version opening with a burning meteor striking a pregnant princess' stomach, causing a pulsating flesh-egg to pop out! The color sometimes disappears, leaving parts of the film B&W. The subtitles are sometimes cropped.) |
