Awesome. A bunch of my old VHS tapes developed mold. Juuuuust what I needed... 😭🤮

First a shit show like yesterday's happens, and then a picture like this pops up, and for a short time everything is right again in the world (of wrestling) 🖤🤟

Hammer! And the musicals and dancing, and the future, and monsters and pretty girls, and old cars, and cannibals, and swing music, and... and... and..."

RADIOACTIVE DREAMS is my favorite Pyun flick PERIOD. It's the cinematic equivalent to AXE COP (if you don't know what that is, look it up). Albert must've had so much fun doing this film. It's a little boy's dreams captured on celluloid. "I love detective stories. And movies! Sam Spade and Mike

Woke up. Grabbed my phone.

Oookay, what has happened in the world while I was asleep?

"Brock Lesnar has returned to WWE at SummerSlam"

Ha. Ha ha. Fuck this shit, I'm going back to sleep.

My guess would be Steph?

This one's probably one for you too, @turkishmeatchugger.bsky.social. 😜

Here's one for everyone who ever wondered about Turkish exploitation cinema. It's Cem Kaya's excellent documentary REMAKE REMIX RIP-OFF from 2014.

And it has English subtitles! (Sure, they're imposed over the German subs, but who gives a fuck?)

The last "good" years for all the censoring goody-two-shoes. Rudolf Stefen (pretty much our Mary Whitehouse) would be spinning in his grave, if he saw the stuff that gets released uncut nowadays 😂

Ah, someone put English subs on this version. Good, here I was, thinking I had to do it 😂

BTW, this is the perfect time for me to ONCE AGAIN recommend Cem Kaya's excellent documentary on Turkish exploitation films - REMAKE REMIX RIP-OFF. Sadly the only version on YT is a rip of the German release, so no English subs. But there's one out there.

Oh, we still had raids until the early 00s. At least when it came to collector's homes. The last time I saw a raid at a movie market was in... '98 I think? '99? Somewhere around that time. The last time I stashed all of the problematic films that I owned at my girlfriend's, after a friend was

Or this ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL scene from MELEK YÜZLÜ CANI. Thank God they got this smut off the streets, and out of the hands of unsuspecting youth! 😂

Here's one of the banned Turkish flicks, dude. It's VAHSI KAN aka TURKISH RAMBO, starring Cüneyt Arkin.

Such brutality! So inhumane! Oh, the terror, the terror! 😆😂

in the open. Back in the day the cops usually checked or even raided conventions or movie markets, looking for banned movies. Today though? Crickets. A friend of mine bought a couple bd's of some of the last remaining banned films just today at WEEKEND OF HORRORS in Cologne 😂

Yup. The only one that was banned. Like I said, usually every subsequent release they got their hands on went either on the Index or was banned for "Inhaltsgleichheit" (identical in content). But they didn't even petition any later releases. Hell, go to a convention nowadays, and you can buy it out

I mean, they even banned a couple of films that were rated 16 (18 was the highest rating), which actually should've exempted them from it. Oh well, the 80s and 90s were wild. 😆

assume. I mean, there's even a couple of Turkish movies from Turkish labels still on the banned list. Even though most of them were harmless as fuck (like CELLAT for example). But the authorities (well, the Child and Youth Protection Agencies) were never known for their knowledge of the matter.

collectors, or found them when customs checked packages from mailorders. That's why - when it comes to VHS - it was something like 90% German tapes, around 5% Dutch, and the remaining 5% from all over the place. Oddly enough a lot of stuff from Greece and Turkey, mostly brought by migrant workers I

Nope, never even got on the Index. Simply too obscure back in the day (it got VHS releases in Italy, Greece and Denmark, as far as I can tell). Back in the day a film usually had to have been released in Germany, for the authorities to move in, or they had to find imported tapes when they raided

Nope, I don't think it's even on the Index, which just means that a film couldn't be sold in the open, or advertised. People very often mistake this practice with a film being banned.

licensee files a petition to do so. Which will cost money. Which they're to cheap to pay. 😆 And yeah, they actually make more money off the film by it being still banned... 🤪😂

getting banned, even though in the old days they would've been automatically (the last bd release must've been like 2 or 3 years ago). And no one would ban it nowadays, not with films like EATEN ALIVE or NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN being free again. Sadly a ban will only get lifted if the

Eh, nah, that's a weird one. Only the old Red Edition dvd was actually banned (2002), all the other versions before that were merely on the Index. And the film was deleted from it in the early '10s. There have been a couple of uncut German language releases via Austria, but they didn't end up

Oh, btw:

Death to the demoness Allegra Geller!

There's actually not that many left that are banned...

That's why I think she's going to call it quits after her contract runs out (I don't see her extending it, even if they offer her a new one). She's not necessarily suffering from main character syndrome, but she definetely doesn't see herself as a bit player.

I love the new SUPERMAN, and I love FF: FIRST STEPS to hell and back, but I think my favorite film so far this year is... 28 YEARS LATER. Just watched it a final time at the theater (I was the ONLY one in there), and... yeah. Just brilliant from the first frame to the very last...
