(5 out of 5 stars)
"A few weeks ago, I bought a copy of 42nd Street Forever, Vol. 1 and reviewed it on amazon. You see I loved drive_in movies. I rememeber watching some of the best of the worst at the Laurel drive in in the 70's and 80's. It was a special era that will never come again.
A friend who read my review suggested I pick up this dvd collection. He said it was a better collection than 42nd Street. So I ordered it. It is more of the grindhouse film with a stronger T & A action films. DAMN he was RIGHT! I may never hear the end of this
These trailers are a drive-in movie fans's dream. Know some of these are in color, most in glorious Black & White. It still is fun to watch!
Many trailers are the schlock B shock horror films I grew up on. There are a lot in this collection. Films like Blood Feast and Wizard of Gore Wizard Of Gore (Special Edition)Blood Feast are showcased here.
Also there are stripper film trailers that seem to have been sold for Stag parties of the 1950's and 1960's. A few have such strippers like Blaze Starr, Tempest Storm and Bette Page. Fans of The Notorious Bettie Page will love these trailers of Page.
Something Weird Video is the DVD capital of schlock videos on DVD. These over 8o trailers are not really star ladden movie trailers (well there is one trailer--The Veil with Boris Karloff!). but if you are a fan of drive-in cinema, grindhouse films or schlock SF, this collection is for you. I will say this, these trailers are on very clean masters. Each trailer can be viewed separately, It does have a nice DVD transfer
The one thing that is missing is the Kung fu, chop socky films of the 1970...well that can be on another collection
These films trailers are not for kids...There are NO DISNEY FILMS here, unless you think the Erotic Adventures of Zorro is for children (IT ISNT!). However It is filled with many nude actors and actreees doing soft porn, monsters, buckets of gore...and VERY BAD ACTING!
As I watched this DVD, I had only one thought in my mind. "GAWD, I wish there was a drive-in playing some of these films tonight"
