Now that the Oscars are over with, it’s time for another installment of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Trailers.
1) The Sicilian Connections (1972)
Since we’re coming down off the Oscars, I’ll start this latest edition off with the trailer for The Sicilian Connection, an Italian rip-off of 1971 best picture winner, The French Connection. I haven’t seen the actual movie but I love the music that plays in the background of this trailer.
2) Dirty Gang (1977)
This is another Italian crime flick. This trailer is worth it to just see that wonderful credit “Tomas Milian as Trash.”
Tomas Milian may have been Trash but Robert Hooks was Trouble.
4) Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
I’m so happy to include this trailer because I think Arleigh will love it. David Carradine and Richard Roundtree fight a prehistoric something-or-an0ther. Michael Moriarty’s in this which can only mean that this is a Larry Cohen film.
“Egypt…a nice place to visit but would you want to die there?” Not surprisingly, this is an Italian film that was released in the wake of Dawn of the Dead and Zombi 2.
6) The Crippled Masters (1979)
I kinda feel that this trailer runs a little bit long but then again, I’m not big into Kung Fu films that don’t star Uma Thurman. Still, this is one of those pure grindhouse trailers that has to be seen to be believed.

Yes, I do love Q: The Winged Serpent and also Dawn of the Mummy. I even have the dvd release of the latter. These mummies are hungry!
Jeff needs to start showing you quality kung fu flicks from the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. I always thought that watch enough of them and you will end up loving the genre whether you intended to or not. 🙂
