Flag (Erin Nicole Bowman, 2010)
Seeing as how its the July 4th weekend, this latest edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Trailers is dedicated to America.
Let’s start out with this celebration of the fact that Americans always do it better. Yes, the film was originally titled American Warrior. Apparently, ninjas are more appealing than just plain old warriors.
From director Antonio Margheriti comes one of the best Namsploitation films ever. How can you go wrong with David Warbeck?
What could possibly be more American than Peter Fonda getting mad and killing people? This was an early film from future “mainstream” director Jonathan Demme.
Well, there might be one thing more American than Peter Fonda killing people and that would have to be Nascar. I’m not sure if they called Nascar Nascar back in 1967 but the idea appears to be the same.
Let’s celebrate another piece of pure Americana: the beach movie. John Saxon and Burt Young apparently battle a big hole in the sand.
6) Django Against Sartana (1970)
Finally, what could be more American than a western from Italy?
Through the Shattered Lens 
Ahh, Blood Beach. I swear I saw this when I was 6 or 7 and I was so afraid to go anywhere near a sandy patch for years.

Interesting angle in “American Ninja” to have pacifist Gandhi be the warrior master.
I was expecting “Django Against Santana” to be a guitar battle. However, considering that Django died in1953, I guess that would have been a little unfair, since Carlos would have been 6 at most. (Unless he had a time machine…yes, a time machine. That would make the story plausible…) I think my idea would have made for a better movie.
