First off, I must apologize for the lateness of this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers. The Trailer Kitties were so depressed over the finale of Breaking Bad that I had to resort to using the Trailer Possum to gather up this week’s trailers.
It’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers. Now, usually, I would have the trailer kitties go out and track down six trailers to feature here. However, the trailer kitties were so upset by how Dexter ended that, for this edition only, I had to recruit a replacement.
Before I left on my vacation, I sent the trailer kitties to collect some trailers that would be perfect for Labor Day! They returned with a bunch of movies about the mafia! I think they’re trying to make a subtle comment about the Teamsters but, regardless of their logic, enjoy this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers and Happy Labor Day!
“Starring Academy Award nominee Jack Nicholson…” Actually, this film features at least 3 Academy Award nominated performers — Nicholson, Bruce Dern, and Diane Ladd.
2) Cry Baby Killer (1958)
Speaking of Jack Nicholson, here’s proof that even the most iconic stars had to start somewhere. This was Nicholson’s film debut.
3) The Delinquents (1957)
This juvenile delinquent film was directed by Robert Altman, who would later direct films like M*A*SH, Nashville, The Player, Short Cuts, Gosford Park, and The Company.
4) The Cool and the Crazy (1958)
The 50s were a wild time to be a teenager, apparently.
5) The Narcotics Story (1958)
“It’s a story of the young and innocent…” They’re young and innocent only be the standards of the decadent 50s!
6) The Pusher (1960)
And, of course, you can’t have the narcotics story without …. The Pusher!
I’ve watched this trailer a few times and I have yet to see either Matthew McConaughey or Zac Efron.
3) Mikey (1992)
However, the Paperboy isn’t the only psychotic child around…
4) Crazy Mama (1975)
I don’t know about you but I was getting disturbed by all those crazy kids. Let’s go back to a more innocent age…
5) Battle Beyond The Sun (1960)
This was a Russian film that Roger Corman brought over to the United States. A young Francis Ford Coppola shot the scenes with the space monsters. I’m not even going to say what the monsters look like…
6) Robot Monster (1953)
Yes, I know we’ve shared this one before but seriously — don’t we all need a Robot Monster in our life?
It’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers! These trailers … they don’t care. They do what they want, when they want! Celebrate the revolution…
