Welcome to the latest edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation trailers. This week, we have six trailers that feature everything from a killer to Santa Claus to a pithy tagline to a mean, bad killing machine to Dennis Quaid.
1) Gorp (1980)
“Sorry, it’s too shocking!” I could do with a little less close-ups of moving mouths but this trailer seems oddly appropriate for a film called Gorp. Keep an eye out for a young Dennis Quaid.
“And I’ll never forget that chicken race…” This trailer has an oddly somber feel to it, considering that it appears to be advertising a silly high school movie. Continue to keep an eye out for a young Dennis Quaid.
“He’s mean…he’s bad…he’s a killing machine!” To the best of my knowledge, Dennis Quaid is not in this film.
This is one of those films that I own on DVD but I have yet to actually sit down and watch. Quentin Tarantino loves this film but I have to admit that I’m having a hard time forgiving Detroit for those obnoxious “Imported from Detroit” Chrysler commercials.
“…you go in pieces!” Jeff loves this trailer (though I suspect he mostly just loves that tagline) and I’m including it for him. 🙂
6) Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
And finally: welcome to the Christmas season, everyone!
