It's been out there for so long now that people think this is how the real scene plays out in the film. Well, it's not! This is an upload of the scene with its original audio from the Turkish print. It's still not a great scene by any means. It's still funny as hell. And the actor is still terrible. And the actress (<i>Filiz Akin</i>) still couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag. But ... it's a funky soundtrack and no death scream.
PS: the film was dubbed into English and released as <b>"Karate Girl"</b> on vhs in various territories back in the day.<div><br /></div><div>For a wee bit more info about the film check out <a href="https://backyard-asia.blogspot.com/2012/07/karate-girl-turkey-1974.html">this previous post</a>. <br /><div><br /></div><div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/USMt4NSYZeA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div> </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfjplnd3sq42MMLwYg7gm0_a-qfZikgerYDqzFP3bySQF0mOncJhvL1_HkQ2V4vWLYycfkX4OYMrCqhesZIoW0Ihv5sIsT3lZcg4VnQQkqX6PyDmOojfwI_vvamFJn3Xt0-9VrM53xNpCFsyy28qVQKyKmzE8B0zI7Q5iR2ZptyohS4-KaM5bxW95/s834/KarateGirl_svensk01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="834" data-original-width="450" height="712" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfjplnd3sq42MMLwYg7gm0_a-qfZikgerYDqzFP3bySQF0mOncJhvL1_HkQ2V4vWLYycfkX4OYMrCqhesZIoW0Ihv5sIsT3lZcg4VnQQkqX6PyDmOojfwI_vvamFJn3Xt0-9VrM53xNpCFsyy28qVQKyKmzE8B0zI7Q5iR2ZptyohS4-KaM5bxW95/w385-h712/KarateGirl_svensk01.jpg" width="385" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Swedish vhs / English dub / Swedish subs / fullscreen</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div></div>Jack Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324519606495297701.post-34363705343966598542022-02-11T20:31:00.007+01:002022-02-11T20:32:50.936+01:00ZUMA (Philippines, 1985) - trailer<p> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T5CCsIjWZFc" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><i>Trailer lifted from the Japanese VHS release of <b>ZIMATAR</b>.</i></p><p>No info but a couple of reviews on <a href="https://bamboogodsandbionicboys.blogspot.com/2009/11/zuma-1985.html">Andrew Leavold's blog.</a></p>Jack Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324519606495297701.post-25578097668252773472022-02-11T20:21:00.006+01:002022-02-11T20:21:55.081+01:00ZIMATAR (Philippines, 1982) - trailer<div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zsu-11E8TdU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>ZIMATAR

The spammers are all posting the same text but from different blogger profiles. I've got the filter up and even the word recognition thingy now. And yet it doesn't seem to do much in reg. to preventing the SPAMMY SPAM. So I'm going to try and switch off the comments section for a few days and see if that has any effect. Who knows what'll work against these auto-spammer robots!? </div>

<br />
<i>Hemisphere Pictures</i> produced the original three <b>Blood Island films</b> (<i>four, if you count <b>TERROR IS A MAN</b></i>), and they wanted to do one more film. However, for reasons that I'm not completely familiar with they had already left the Philippines and gone back to the States. So instead of <i>Eddie Romero</i> or <i>Gerardo de Leon</i> they hired <i>Al Adamson</i> to make a "Filipino" film with a monster and "blood" in the title!!<br />
<br />
Did they fool anybody to think this really was a Filipino film? Not in a million years! But the film is still good fun and entertaining. <i>But don't tell anybody I said that! </i><br />

<br />
Now, if these daft spammers saw that their spam actually went thru to my blog I would understand their enthusiasm. But as it is their spam mails <b><u>don't</u></b> make it thru to this spiffy blog.<br />
<br />
I have a spam filter. Of course I do! When you fill out the comment's section it even tells you that there's a filter. And yet these retards still keep hoping one of their <i>dead sperm spam cells</i> are gonna make it thru the filter. They don't and they won't!<br />
<br />
If I were a spammer I'd probably move on to blogs/websites that don't have spam filters – but I guess that's just funny ol'e me. ROTFL<br />

<br />
<b><i>DAUGHTERS OF SATAN</i><i> </i></b><br />
<b><i>(USA/Philippines, 1972) </i></b><br />
<b><i>Director: <span style="font-family: "arial";">Hollingsworth Morse</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial";">I've seen a lot of Filipino flicks but I must admit never to have come across <b>DAUGHTERS OF SATAN</b> before. Made as a US/Filipino coproduction in 1972 and directed by <span style="font-family: "arial";">some guy called <i>Hollingsworth Morse</i>. The name did <i>not</i> ring a bell with this reviewer! A quick gander at IMDb makes me think this is probably his most interesting work. He made episodes in various TV series but nothing that stands out I'm sorry to say. I reckon this is his only horror film. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">An American businessman (<i>played by Tom Selleck!</i>) living with his American wife in the Philippines buys a painting from a mysterious antique dealer (<i>played by Vic Diaz of course</i>). The painting is 300 years old and shows three witches being burned alive. Charming picture to hang next to the dinner table! One of the witches looks exactly like his wife. The wife isn't too pleased with the purchase. She suffers from mental problems so having to look at herself being torched at the stake every day probably isn't her idea of cool interior decoration. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">At some point while the husband is at work she encounters an evil dog, and an evil housekeeper turns up at her doorstep. Later there's another witch, more evil evildoers engaging in evil practices, and women getting flogged and hung over deadly iron spikes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">DAUGHERS OF SATAN is odd and maybe it doesn't make too much sense but, hey, when was that a problem in horror movies!? I think the film is <i>wonderfully</i> odd and I much disagree with Ian Jane's 17 year old <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080327025225/http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/Reviews/A-D/daughters_of_satan.html">review from DVDManiacs</a> (also copied by Andrew Leavold <a href="http://bamboogodsandbionicboys.blogspot.com/2009/03/daughters-of-satan-1972.html">on his blog</a>). He didn't think it was all that entertaining. Personally, I didn't look at the clock one single time throughout the film. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Ian Jane reviewed a UK DVD release in 2003 but I got the new (from 2018) blu-ray released by SHOUT! FACTORY. It doesn't mention if this release is sourced from a film negative or a 35mm print but it looks fabulous in any case. In contradiction to the DVD this release is in 1.85:1 widescreen. There's hardly any extras, a trailer and some still photos. The disc is subtitled in English. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Final word: Highly recommended! (<i>and I'd advise you get it sooner rather than later. These things have a tendency to go out of print fairly quickly these days</i>). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Apparently, the film played at US cinemas on a double bill with another US/Filipino production, <b>SUPERBEAST</b>. The trailer is for this double bill and SHOUT! have released both films on blu-ray (</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>I own a terrible shit looking, censored bootleg DVD from ZDD</i>.<i> </i></span></span><i>Needless to say, I have ordered the new blu-ray of SUPERBEAST but I reckon it's most likely stuck somewhere in traffic as so much stuff seems to be during these weird times we live in</i>).<br />

I didn't use to want to post full films on his blog, or any of my other blogs. But I've had a change of mind. Nowadays I don't mind posting full films on my blog when we're talking old <u>RARE</u> films
that their copyright holders don't care enough about to keep available to
the public (<i>new films that are in print is a different matter!</i>).
Gone are the days when a film was gone because nobody wanted to
re-release it. The internet is almost <i>PUNK</i> in that regard. "<i>You're
telling us we can't watch these old film? Wrong! Here it is, on YouTube, on blogs, in Cyberspace!</i>"<br />
<br />
Check the post after this one; It's the full upload of <b>RED SPELL SPELLS RED</b>. Wild HK cinema from the early 80s. Also, check the the bar to the right where you can find a list of the full films on this blog (<i>I should point out they're not uploaded to this blog but on YouTube. And I'm not the uploader!</i>). <br />

<br />
<b>LAST BREATH </b>(Lee Ho/Jobic Wong, Taiwan, 1985) aka<b> JUNGLE HEAT </b><br />
<br />
<b>There are four different edits of LAST BREATH: </b><br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> The original Taiwan version (also released in HK - released on HK VHS and US Chinatown VHS)<br />
<b>2.</b> The international version entitled JUNGLE HEAT (alternative footage - released on various uncut VHS tapes, the best one being the Japanese VHS: uncut + letterboxed. The German and UK dvd's are cut!!!)<br />
<b>3. </b>A censored version for Mainland China (cut for violence but includes some alternative footage - released on VCD)<br />
<b>4.</b> A version made for Thailand - which has extra footage with Thai actor Sorapong Chatree (I'm going by the trailer and the Thai film poster here as the film itself hasn't been released to home video afaik).<br />
<br />
I'm told a 16mm copy of the Thai version is stored in the Thai film archive. Hopefully, somebody will release it to blu-ray or streaming at some point.Jack Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324519606495297701.post-50065633869593260502020-05-16T00:45:00.003+02:002021-04-08T03:03:38.243+02:00Greta Thyssen interview (2010)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I recently posted about a <i>Greta Thyssen</i> interview that never took place (<a href="https://backyard-asia.blogspot.com/2020/05/greta-thyssen-not-machete-maiden.html">see post here</a>) And I quoted from an interview that <i>did</i> take place. Unfortunately, the interview didn't talk much about Greta's role in Filipino films (<i>hence her being of interest to this blog dedicated to obscure Asian cinema</i>).
The bit about her role in TERROR IS A MAN was all I quoted. I did post a
link to the full interview, but come to think of it, everything has a
tendency of disappearing from Cyberspace, and I might as well copy-paste
the full interview to this ol'd blog. So here you go, Greta Thyssen
talking to <i>Mark Voger/NJ Advance Media for NJ.com</i> in 2010..<br />

<b>Three Stooges' final leading lady, Greta Thyssen</b><br />
<br />
(Updated April 1, 2019. Posted June 18, 2010)<br />
<br />
<i>by Mark Voger/NJ Advance Media for NJ.com</i><br />
<br />
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="JKTD4UOLFFE4FMO3WJPT74CK2A">
Many distinctions dot the career of actress Greta Thyssen, a former Miss Denmark who once doubled for Marilyn Monroe. But one in particular is doted on by fans of the slapstick trio the Three Stooges.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="7VGXFKPMZFHBBKP2GW22U4RZPI">
Thyssen is the leading lady in the 190th -- and final -- Stooges short ever released.<br />
In "Sappy Bullfighters" (1959), Thyssen performs classic bedroom farce with the boys. The blond beauty also tried to murder the Stooges in "Quiz Whizz" and teach them manners in "Pies and Guys" (both 1958).</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="7VGXFKPMZFHBBKP2GW22U4RZPI">
<br /></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="56LJUJM6JFBAZJFVQXUB6K7I4Q">
All three Stooges shorts with Thyssen can be seen on the new DVD set "The Three Stooges Collection Volume Eight: 1955-1959." Thyssen, who is at work on a forthcoming blog, was reached at her New York home on Saturday.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="X7GL4QFJGZHZXEI2Y7BSBNTF54">
<b>Q: When you first came to Hollywood from Denmark, did you have jobs lined up?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="HVYOWQTEMNERFDRYXIPKX4UNWM">
A: I got, I think it was, a six-month contract with MGM, even though it was the end of their big moviemaking days. So they didn't really do anything with me, and allowed me to work outside. I got offers for certain things, and I did them.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="FZU67CX535HBHIQOFN5EN6UFOM">
<b>Q: How was your English when you first came over?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="FQQHPLNHWRA6DO2VPKDIMHLNX4">
A: Oh, I had an accent, I guess, yeah. I still have an accent. Sure.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="YGGEL4SJ6NHGHEYRRAPLZTOM6I">
<b>Q: But was it tough learning scripts in another language?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="AUMCVJEWPNFABLHVLNAOTLVPOY">
A: No, not at all. It has nothing to do with accents. It has to do with what kind of memory you have. When I began to do summer stock, often people would say, "You don't have an accent when you speak the lines." It would go away many times. But of course, I've never gotten rid of it. I never even tried to get rid of it, which I should have done.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="AUMCVJEWPNFABLHVLNAOTLVPOY">

<b>Q: You made your film debut in "Bus Stop" (1956), and you doubled for Marilyn Monroe. Did you get to know Marilyn a little?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="YMZ64YONQBCOHJS7ZWPXYPMUNY">
A: Yes, I did. And that was a time when they were really hard on her. I felt so upset for her, because everybody was speaking behind her back.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="EPZEDGLOKBESHJ6O36GHNXSCBI">
<b>Q: In "Terror is a Man" (1959), a neat horror film, you played the wife of Francis Lederer. How do you recall that experience?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="F3AU5EE6BVHKHGZG5WALE5NCNI">
A: Well, I had to go all the way to the Philippines, so I flew there. At that time, I was married, so it was a little hard. But it was fine. He (Lederer) was nice and charming. I had a good time. It was very warm, I remember.</div>

<b>Q: A DVD set is out containing the three shorts you filmed with the Three Stooges. In "Pies and Guys," you received a pie in the face, which some would deem an honor. How did you respond?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="QH5ZBVDZHJEFTILXKI5XRBND6E">
A: Actually, I totally have forgotten it, so I can't tell you what it felt like. I really have forgotten it. I probably didn't like it at all, I would think.</div>

<b>Q: How did you keep a straight face when the boys were wearing those ridiculous "Little Lord Fauntleroy" costumes?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="S5ULSLVJ2BH6FN7SE2B3YT4OIA">
A: Well, first of all, when you're an actress, you're not supposed to laugh in the middle of it. So I kept my cool.</div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="5DXBPM3UONCEBNJH4KJ6B2DZMQ">
<b>Q: You towered over those guys, which made it funny. They were not tall men, and you were, or should I say are, a tall woman.</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="2RDVNAY47RAF7OC56VAGFJURMQ">
A: No, I'm not so tall any more (laughs).</div>

<b>Q: What kind of working chemistry did you have with the Stooges? Were they generous to you?</b></div>
<div class="article__paragraph article__paragraph--left" id="TEHR6HUFKFDHZPUUIMH5VULURM">
A: Well, they were fine, yes. But I wasn't that interested in it. I didn't quite understand that those kind of shorts would later be so admired and loved. I didn't know that at the time. I didn't know anything about it, really, to tell you the truth. I just was offered the job, because they wanted to start, again, doing "Stooges." So there was a new producer and it was a new time. I think the original ones -- weren't they in the '30s?</div>

A: Well, as an actress, you know instinctively what to do. And so that's what I did.<br />

This cool documentary film is available from several video labels. The ltd DVD from Australia has a bonus DVD with <b>THE MUTHERS</b> from a 35mm print. Subkultur in German has it as a bonus on their <b>DEATH FORCE</b> DVD/blu-ray. There are also blu-rays from Australia and the US as a double programme with <b>ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: THE WILD UNTOLD STORY OF CANNON</b> + there's probably more releases from other countries<i>.</i></p>Jack Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324519606495297701.post-35067353139240977462020-05-15T23:16:00.002+02:002020-05-15T23:16:37.319+02:00BEYOND ATLANTIS - trailerPhilippines/USA 1973<br />

I rewatched <i>Eddie Romero</i>'s <b>BEAST OF THE YELLOW NIGHT</b> (PH/US 1971) last night. This time on blu-ray from VCI. I really like this film. Sure it's slow but so what. It's so weird and different. The main character is <i> John Ashley</i> but this time he's not a hero but a soulless human turned beast – spurred on by Satan himself. <i>Vic Diaz</i> is the devil!<br />
<br />
The release from VCI is a dvd/blu-ray combo pack and the transfer from a 35mm negative looks great (slightly worn but probably still heaps better than the print anybody would have seen at a drive-in back in the day).<br />
