In Praise of Sexploitation on Christmas

Sexploitation stops for no man or holiday!

A LETCH IN TIME (1972) tells the tale of two hapless guys who cook up a plan to get lucky. One takes on the role of a creepy voyeur, frightening unsuspecting women straight into the seemingly comforting arms of the other.

In sexploitation circles 1968 is known as the "Year of the Naughty Western", as three were released.  BRAND OF SHAME and HOT SPUR are the most well-known.  RAW RIDE is the third.

Fed up and disgusted about how they've been treated, saloon girls decide to take matters into their own hands, cleverly playing both the Mexican bandidos and a diminutive, yet vicious town boss against each other.

A MINX FOR ALL SEASONS (1969).  At a dull New Year’s Eve party, Lola shares four stories from her love life over the past year.  Cue flashbacks.

12 DAYS OF SEXMAS (1971) in this ribald holiday farce, a small-town department store Santa spreads seasonal cheer to single mothers and divorcees, while a feminist Grinch stirs up trouble for our hero.

 

In Praise of the Clones of Bruce Lee Part VII: Booze Lee

 

It was inevitable that one Bruce Lee Clone would slip through our cracks.

Booze Lee is a mystery to us.  

His co-star, James "Blunt Force" Chang, is also a mystery. 

1978 saw the release of the original DRUNKEN MASTER.  Directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, the comedy was a massive success which help propel Jackie Chan to stardom.  

And with every massive success, the inevitable sequels and rip-offs followed closely behind.

DRUNKEN MASTER VERSUS THE HONG BONG KID played minimal dates in Honolulu, Seattle San Francisco and New York in 1980.  

The film follows two young fighters training with their masters; both teachers have seen better days.  The elder drunken master is an irritable curmudgeon, permanently soused on endless barrels of rice wine.  The elder bong master lazily instructs his pupil from the heavy haze of opium smoke.  

In the end we have an epic battle between drunken style and stoned style.  We won't give away the ending, just pour yourself a stiff one or fill a bowl, sit back and enjoy.
