4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, we pay tribute to director Robert Clouse, who was born 92 years ago today. Best-known for directing Bruce Lee’s biggest hit, Enter The Dragon, Clouse was responsible for some of the most memorable action films of the 70s and the 80s. He was an action auteur who never got the respect that he deserved but we can pay tribute to him today.
4 Shots From 4 Films
Enter The Dragon (1973, directed by Robert Clouse)
Black Belt Jones (1974, directed by Robert Clouse)
The Ultimate Warrior (1975, directed by Robert Clouse)
Hi! Are y’all enjoying the Olympics? I’m not but I’m still occasionally watching them and asking myself questions like, “Why do male beach volleyball players actually get to wear clothes while competing?” and “Are there any countries other than America, Great Britain, and China competing this year?” Seriously, if you were just to judge from the coverage on NBC, it would appear that the USA is the only team competing in the majority of the events. It’s a bit unfair to those of us who, while American, are also proud of the fact that our ancestors came from Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Germany.
Therefore, this edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers is dedicated to those countries that are being ignored by NBC (and probably the BBC as well). I’m talking about such worthy countries as Albania, San Marino, and especially the beautiful island republic of Chacal.
Here are 6 trailers for Team Chacal.
1) Gymkata (1985)
It’s not quite gymnastics and it’s not quite karate — instead, it’s Gymkata!
2) Jack the Ripper (1976)
From director Jess Franco comes a film that’s either about Jack the Ripper or the current Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.
3) Terrorgram (1988)
The name pretty much says it all.
4) Castle Freak (1995)
I can still remember this one on HBO when I was like 12 years old. It actually gave me nightmares, it was so scary!
5) Two Evil Eyes (1990)
I’ve been planning on seeing this movie for a while now. It was directed by both George Romero and Dario Argento!
6) Goldengirl (1979)
I’ve shared this one before but, with it being the Olympic season and all, I simply had to share this trailer again. Have you figured out her secret yet?
