  1. i assert firmly that even a rudimentary knowledge of the history and workings of CARS and GUNS is key to understanding a lot about life in general and America especially.

     

    EDIT: i IMDB'D it. it was called HOT ROD GANG, the lead was JOHN ASHLEY and it was directed by LEW LANDERS- who (if I recall) directed one of my favorites of the 40's RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE.

     

    Now that I remember, seeing his name in the credits is why i stuck around for a bit...he did a pretty fair job, it moved at a quick pace, but there were several comic relief scenes that sunk the movie.

     

    EDIT EDIT: the music was good, albeit derivative of Jerry Lee Lewis, who was in turn pretty derivative of Chuck Berry.

    It was interesting to see Senator Rand Paul in his singing debut:

  2. Hot Rod Gang  9:30 pm Tuesday

     

    John Ashley plays three parts, my favorite being Jackson Dalrymple, a bearded, beret-wearing heartthrob singer. Maureen Arthur sings something called “Choo Choo Cha Poochie,” which, I believe when translated, means “Hey boys, get a load of these headlights.” 

     

    The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow  11:00 pm Tuesday

     

    A stinker any way you look at it.

    Listen for this stupidity early on, when a nerd tries to explain the principles behind his hotrod:

    “You will be particularly interested in a theory I have evolved on the basic principles of locomotion, using of course the Euclidean system of mathematics and naturally interposing that with the Einstein theory of relativity. I have come up with proof positive of the transcendental nature of locomotion and combustion.”

    It’s crap like this that makes kids hate math and science.

  3. Let me guess, June winds up dead. Just once I'd like to see a horror film in which a sexually provocative woman doesn't pay the ultimate price for a lewd lifestyle.

     

    By the way, I saw a clip of her dance in the bar and this is a woman who clearly deserves to live (pant pant).

    1. Good guess.

    2. True.

  4. Horrors of the Black Museum (1959) youtube

     

    Michael Gough plays a mystery writer who arranges to bump off several dames to increase his popularity (and sales of his latest book about murder). One blonde (with ample cleavage) gets binoculared to death, while her red-headed roommate (with ampler cleavage) looks on in horror. Then Gough’s “ho” tells him where to get off, and she is done in by Gough’s assistant, using a hand-held guillotine – you know, the kind you can buy on QVC. By using a pair of ice tongs, Gough offs an old crone who runs an antique store. Well, the list goes on, but you get the idea.

     

    Gough, as usual, is hammy over the top, but not nearly as bat-s*** crazy as he is in Konga. He is delicious to watch as he needles Scotland Yard, and vents his spleen at his assistant (Graham Curnow). June Cunningham, as Gough’s chick, has the smallest waist coupled with the largest hips I’ve seen in some time. She also treats the audience to about a 50-second dance in a bar. By the time she is done, every guy watching will figure out his sexual orientation.

  5. Scaramouchi

     

    When his best friend Putin is killed, the French-Italian son of a nobleman vows revenge and goes into hiding as a communications director for the President of the United States. He somehow manages to find time to romance a few babes from FOX News before the final encounter with his arch enemy, the Marquis de Faux News. In the seven-minute climactic duel of tweets, Scaramouchi defeats the Marquis with several touchés, a flurry of bon mots, and a coup de gras. Tor Johnson has a cameo as Pierre Francois de la Brioski (who designed and built the sewers of Paris).

  6. Big fan. Just a fun movie from start to finish, with lots of interesting characters. The old guy on the subway, the Ed Koch lookalike as mayor, Dick O'Neill going berserk ... where to start? Then toss in the pulsating score by David Shire. Hard to stop watching this one whenever it airs.
