As a result of Chrisy posting the trailers that come with Planet Terror and Deathproof, I was wondering if any of you know of good (or should I say bad ) grindhouse movies. I've seen quite a few, but there's room for more
A story about a girl who is sent to prison for smuggling cocaine and finds herself in a prison which is ran by a woman who uses the convicts as prostitutes.
A Vietnam veteran comes home to find his life changed to the bad. Then, thugs kill his wife and son, which ofcourse is a very good excuse to kill people
This one's about people getting killed in the jungle
Edit Chrisy: I corrected one of your youtube link to make it work

Please Don't Eat My Mother (1973) from Carl Monson
Quote :
this movie might feature a man-eating plant with a sexy female voice, but this ain't no Little Shop of Horrors. Please Don't Eat My Mother! is a sexploitation horror-comedy spoof of Roger Corman's 1960 classic. The story follows a middle-aged man who acquires a plant with a taste for bugs, reptiles, canines and... you guessed it... nekkid ladies! Sure, it's a brain draining sleazefest, but that's what makes it so awesome.
A middle-aged man buys a plant with a sexy voice that develops a craving for insects, frogs, dogs, humans...

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS (1975) From Don Edmonds
Quote :
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS is the over-the-top tale of a lady Nazi who conducted sadistic experiments to prove that women were more capable of enduring pain than men. You see where this is going, right? Anyway, she also happens to be a sexual fiend who discards her men by torturing and killing them once she's had her way with them. (Sounds like one of my ex-girlfriends.) The movie, which starred Dyanne Thorn in the title role, spawned several sequels and innumerable dirty thoughts.
Ilsa is an evil Nazi warden at a death camp that conducts "medical experiments". Ilsa's goal is to prove that woman can withstand more pain and suffering than men and therefore should be allowed to fight on the front lines.

I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman) (1978) from Meir Zarchi
Quote :
Esteemed film critic Roger Ebert says I Spit on Your Grave is "a vile bag of garbage...without a shred of artistic distinction." So you know it's got to be good! The story, although calling it that might be a bit of a stretch, follows a woman who is attacked and raped by a group of men. That's the genuinely disturbing part, of course. The "fun" comes in when she gets her revenge and subsequently "cuts, chops, breaks and burns them all beyond recognition" -- this exquisite language actually appears on the film's poster. And while director Meir Zarchi has denied that his controversial film was intended to be exploitative in nature, we don't really care
The film follows Jennifer, a writer who is working on a new novel and needs to get out of the city to finish it. She hires a riverside apartment in upstate New York to finish her novel, attracting the attention of a number of rowdy male locals. They catch Jenifer one day and strip her naked for the village idiot (Matthew) and rape her. Jennifer is later attacked and raped a further two times by the four degenerates, and her novel is also destroyed. But Jennifer slowly recovers and in her now-twisted, psychotic mind, she then begins to seek revenge on the four men who raped her

Vampiros lesbos (1971) From Jesus Franco
Quote :
With a name like Vampyros Lesbos, it's got to be good! This 1971 German film from director Jesus Franco is a classic example of the European exploitation film. The movie follows a young female lawyer who travels on a job assignment to an island where she encounters the mysterious, beautiful countess Carody. Basically, it's a budget take on Dracula with lesbian vampires. Now you're feelin' it.
An erotic horror tale about a vixen vampiress seducing and killing women to appease her insatiable thirst for female blood

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) from Melvin Van Peebles
Quote :
That's right... five S's! 1971's Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, was written, produced, scored, and directed, by star Melvin Van Peebles. It is the original blaxploitation film, but some critics argue that the movie, probably because it's so good, isn't an exploitation film at all. We think they're wrong. The film was groundbreaking because of its avant-garde visual style and also because it featured a tough black dude sticking it to the Man... and he doesn't get killed in the end!
After saving a Black Panther from some racist cops, a black prostitute goes on the run from "the man" with the help of the ghetto community and some disillusioned Hells Angels

Zombi 2 (1979) From Lucio Fulci
Quote :
While the movie doesn't actually have any connection to the original Zombi (a recut-for-Europe version of Romero's Dawn of the Dead), the film sparked a zombie movie craze across Europe and made Italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci a horror icon. The flick is known for its sensational zombie antics such as the notorious "eye-gouging," and zombie vs. shark scenes. The flick was later released in the U.S. as Zombie, a standalone release with no connection to Romero's movies.

Vanishing Point (1971) From Richard C. Sarafian
Quote :
This 1971 carsploitation flick stars Barry Newman as Kowalski, a delivery driver who has lost everything and becomes a counterculture hero as he leads police on a crazy four-stage car chase. All the while Kowalski is guided by a blind radio DJ named Super Soul. Of course, it all ends in a flaming heap of metal, but even that is fun to watch. Newman might be billed as the star of the flick, directed by Richard C. Sarafian, but the real star is the Alpine White 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 440/375 horsepower engine!
Kowalski, the hero of the story, works for a car delivery service. He takes delivery of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to take from Colorado to Frisco, California. Shortly after pickup, he takes a bet to get the car there in less than 15 hours. After a few run-ins with motorcycle cops and highway patrol they start a chase to bring him into custody. Along the way, Kowalski is guided by Supersoul - a blind DJ with a police radio scanner. Throw in lots of chase scenes, gay hitchhikers, a naked woman riding a motorbike, lots of Mopar and you've got a great cult hit from the early 70's

Coffy (1973) From Jack Hill
Quote :
Coffy is the 1973 blaxploitation film that launched the career of Pam Grier, who would follow up the flick with another genre classic, Foxy Brown. Here Grier plays the title role of a nurse-cum-vigilante who sets out on a one-woman war against crime after her sister becomes addicted to drugs. The movie, directed by Jack Hill, broke new ground by featuring a strong black woman as a lead. It's also notable for its strong anti-drug message -- a notion that was out of vogue in the early 1970s.
Coffy is a nurse whose younger sister gets involved in drugs and is severely injured by contaminated heroin

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) From Russ Meyer
Quote :
There's no denying that Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is outrageously campy. But that hasn't stopped the film from becoming a cult classic. The flick centers on three sexy go-go dancers who go on a murderous rampage. It has plenty of crazy violence, gratuitous sexuality (although it does not have explicit nudity), and is known as one of the controversial filmmaker's most explicitly exploitative films.
Three wild women in three fast cars take time off from stripping in clubs to go on a murder rampage. They kidnap and drug the girlfriend of one of their victims and hole up at a secluded ranch owned by a wheelchair-bound man and his two sons

Last House on the Left (1972) From Wes Craven
Quote :
A pair of teenage girls are headed to a rock concert for one's birthday. While trying to score marijuana in the city, the girls are kidnapped by a gang of psychotic convicts
A deranged, wealthy woman offers $100,000 to three men if they can stay alive for 24 hours in Manhattan, and then hunts them down.
Another Grindhouse tip
It's quite bad but I really had a lot of fun watching it The nude/sex scenes are so hilariously flat, the drugs and crimes scenes so exagerated but it's so enjoyable to watch
Apparently the movie was supposed to be a straight horror movie but they added some nude scenes one or 2 years after. That creates this strange feeling, you really dont know why these scenes are in there ha ha ha
I can't give it more than 6 because well it's a B movie and overall it's quite bad ha ha ha, but for the genre, it's really great

Alice in Acidland delivers a cautionary tale about the mind-altering affects of LSD in this story of a naive college girl who becomes involved with a bunch of cool 60s swingers. She soon starts experimenting with free love and marijuana. Looking for bigger thrills she drops acid and the film switches to colour for a wild psychedelic sequence of free love, sensual sounds and nerve-tingling visuals.

This is a truly bizarre movie that was originally released in two different forms: one a psychedelic serial killer film with sex, the other a psychedelic sex film with a serial killer. Take your pick; either way it's a very strange trip. Both versions have one thing in common, though: lots of tits and little sense. The cut presented on Something Weird's DVD as Mantis In Lace (though the film's title card reads "Lila") is likely the latter version — trippy sex + killer — based on the outtake footage that's included as a bonus feature. More about that later. Susan Stewart stars as Lila, a mentally disturbed stripper at a seedy topless bar on the Sunset Strip. She routinely picks up guys at the club and takes them to an empty warehouse for a bit of after-hours wine, LSD, and shagging. Problem is, the acid freaks her out to the point that, mid-coitus, she's compelled to repeatedly stab her paramours with a screwdriver, then finish 'em off with a rusty meat cleaver. With bodies — or pieces thereof — continuing to turn up dumped in cardboard boxes, LAPD homicide dicks Ryan (M.K. Evans) and Collins (Steve Vincent) struggle to mount something resembling a semi-competent investigation. In between much pointless titty dancing footage the cops remain clueless and Lila continues her killing spree. Only through a lucky break are the detectives eventually able to stop this hallucinogen-fueled gore-gore girl, but not without gunning down an innocent man in the process. (Can't really blame 'em, though; the dumbass did shoot first.) That's the entire movie in a nutshell. Well, maybe not the entire movie. There's an almost 10-minute interlude (Chapter 8 on the DVD — you have been warned!) chronicling a sexual tryst between the bar owner and an auditioning dancer that has absolutely nothing to do with the story whatsoever; ditto a sequence in which two of the strippers (neither of them Lila) smoke a joint backstage. In fact, if one removed the blatant padding this Harry Novak-produced sleazefest could be pared down to about forty minutes' running time. The shorter the better, I say. This is supposedly the "sexier" version of the film, so huge chunks of it are consumed with topless dancing routines. It would've helped immensely if any of these ladies could actually dance. (This is the '60s, though, so there's not an ounce of silicone in sight.) The acting is either terrible or nonexistent. The same can be said for the direction and editing. The music score, relying chiefly on an electric guitarist who seems to be making up stuff as he goes along — none of it worthy of the term "improvisation", mind you — lurches from quirky kitsch to agonizing irritant very quickly. The drippy "Lila" theme song, used a gazillion times, should require a warning label on the DVD to prevent mental injury. So is there anything good here? Aside from all the mammalian protuberances on display, the chief appeal of this tawdry grindhouse offering are the psychedelic "freak out" sequences that precede each of the murders. Lila, in the midst of her bad trips, sees images of a balding, half-naked old man clutching wads of cash in one hand and brandishing a bunch of bananas in the other. Whenever she chops up her victims she visualizes her cleaver (or in one case, a garden hoe) slicing and dicing cantaloupes and watermelons. It's obviously meant to signify a history of some kind of abuse suffered by the character but is merely amusingly ludicrous instead. The film would actually be more entertaining if it consisted of nothing but this kind of footage. (By the way, "Leslie Kovaks" — the cameraman on Mantis In Lace — is actually award-winning cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs.)
