BMN Movies in the News, Part 2

From yesterday, the director of the Saw movies talks about The Stuff at Trailers From Hell.

BMN Movies in the News

Okay, not the news but I've run into a few lately. Everything Is Terrible posted this great edit of Hollywood Cop today. The guy calling the titular character Turkey is Cameron Mitchell!

NSFW:


It's director of Samurai Cop's other movie.

My favorite channel on YouTube is Cinema Apocalypse and they just posted a review of Raw Force, also with Cameron Mitchell:



You should probably skip the clip of the movie, I'm guessing all the best scenes had nudity that you can't post on YouTube.

He also reviews Evilspeak which doesn't have Cameron Mitchell but does have Clint Howard. Ignore that it still says Raw Force:



Lastly, it's April Fool's Day which was the theme for BMN two years ago when we watched:



More horror trailers need Three Dog Night. Although the theme to the other movie we watched that day would work too:

Tomorrow's Movies

Escape 2000 has a lot of poster variations:

Escape Movie Night

I'm calling it Escape Night and Escape 2000 is obviously about escaping and someone does indeed escape in Strike Commando but mostly it's just a bullshit theme so we can watch the pretty great Escape 2000 with the amazing Strike Commando.

Escape 2000, AKA:


AKA Outie 5000 is not the movie called Escape 2000 that was on Mystery Science Theater.



Which is more commonly known as Escape from the Bronx or even Bronx Warriors 2 because it's the sequel to Bad Movie Night movie 1990: The Bronx Warriors. No this is the one directed by the guy who made BMX Bandits and Leprechaun 4: In Space. That guy has one weird resume. Escape 2000 is featured in a great documentary called Not Quite Hollywood:

about Australian Exploitation. Also featured is the only other Australian movie we have ever watched, Howling 3: The Marsupials.



The Quiet Earth doesn't count, that was New Zealand. Body Melt and Houseboat Horror were just not good enough.

Anyway, Escape 2000. Another movie proving that prisons must be filthy places because people are constantly showering in them.

Strike Commando is directed by Bruno Mattei, whose Zombie 3 and Rats - Night of Terror are always on the verge of being Bad Movie Night selections. Wouldn't it be great if being selected for BMN was seen as an honor and this would appear on the DVD box?:



I just ordered Strike Commando 2 but I couldn't wait to have Strike Commando Night. So don't feel sad when the movie ends. There's going to be more.

Here's what happened last week (NSFW):

Penis Movie Night

Soul Vengeance is also known as Welcome Home Brother Charles. Soul? Brother? Yep, this is another blaxploitation movie. I hope it's okay having one so soon after blaxploitation monthsploitation. And I'm going to be honest here, I can't find many good reviews for it online. But I'm pretty sure it's everyone else who's wrong. How about I promise it's better than Poultrygeist but not as good as Samurai Cop.



Hanzo the Razor: Sword of Justice is also known as Goyôkiba. Sword? Goyôkiba? Yep, this is Japanese. The same year that director Kenji Misumi made the movies that were later edited into Shogun Assassin he made this movie from the same manga writer.



The guy in Hanzo is the brother of the guy in Shogun. Connections!



Imagine if we had had Samurai Night with Samurai Cop and Shogun Assassin. It would have been better than Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and The Pit!
