That whole first part of Psycho with Janet Leigh was so much more intense on the big screen. It was also hilarious how the guy next to me in his 40s or 50s properly jumped 3 times haha

To be honest, i thought the whole set-up of Awakening Of The Beast was brilliant. I think it actually can be seen as a sequel, much in the same way as Wes Craven's New Nightmare is considered (and generally accepted as) the 7th entry of the Elm Street franchise.

Whatever floats your boat Do you consider Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures a sequel too then or are you going to say that wasn't Coffin Joe when it clearly was haha Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

I have that Anchor Bay UK box laying around here somewhere which includes Strange Hostel Of Naked Pleasures, but i don't recall i actually ever saw the movie.. so i can't comment on your question (yet).
For the other three movies (At Midnight / This Night / Awakening) i also have the US Fantoma discs which include fairly thick booklets plus interviews with Mojica Marins exclusive to these releases.. so maybe the man himself can help shed some light on this. I'll try to check them out some time soon.

Cool I have a boxset with 8 films of his and it has a disc with a documentary on there but I can't remember what was said now.
Have you seen Embodiment? It picks up with him being released from prison 40 years after the events of This Night. And he has some other actor playing young him to tack it together a little bit more haha. He is a hoot in that one.
Hope you're having a nice Halloween Back to my films Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

watched this Fun 1975 western adventure - bite the bullet over the weekend starring an all star cast including James coburn,gene Hackman,Candice Bergen,Ben Johnson and Jan Michael Vincent about a high prized horse race across the deserts of the united states.
An Always enjoyable flick this that even at 132 minutes in length still manages to move along at a fair old pace and features some really likeable performances especially from gene hackman who once again here proves what a terrific actor he is!
A twist towards the end involving Candice Bergen was my only annoyance as it was not in the least bit convincing but that aside everything else about the movie was really solid.
One last thing i see this is cut here in the UK by 10 secs due to animal cruelty - illegal horse falls http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072705/alternateversions?ref_=tt_ql_trv_5 but I'm sure the version I recorded and watched from the UK channel - more movies was a completely uncut version as there were definitely a couple of forced horse falls throughout!

The Gelignite Gang (1956) - I only recorded this drab affair because it was wrongly described as a Terence Fisher film. Couple of sites say he was an uncredited co-director. I can't see it. Unless he was sleeping at the time I wish I had a pound for everytime they said Gelignite.

And no one here in the USA would have any idea what "gelignite" is. The only reason I know is that it was mentioned in an early episode of Rumpole of the Bailey. Posts: 2008 | From: Dixieland | Registered: Oct 2008 | Site Updates: 0

I believe it's an explosive. Mind you I am not in the USA.
I only know it because of it featuring in a children's (of all places) story I read as a kid. I believe they used it to blow up a beached whale because it was the only way to get it off the beach.

Excellent choice Pittsburghgirl. A classic film!
The intro music at the start is awesome.

Bernie Lomax, I still love it after all these years. Michael Beck was so handsome too!

I absolute love the warriors,strange how Michael beck's movie career never really took off after this,other than the - warriors I can only remember seeing him in wes craven's TV horror flick - chiller and the excellent suspense thriller - blackout from 1985.

Wasn't he the lead in Xanadu or some other failed early 80's musical?

Yes he was,never seen it though,I wonder what it's like? I know he done a couple of low budget sci fi action flicks - battle truck and megaforce,never seen these either but they look like being pretty good fun!

The Warriors is ultimate classic and i also like Xanadu but it really isn´t for everyone. Beck kind of disapperared into that tv-movie/series world and never came back, until this year. He had a leading role in a movie called The Grace of Jake. In ´96 he had a role in a Chuck Norris film called Forest Warrior, never seen that one.
I have Blackout vhs tape, maybe it´s finally time to watch that one for Beck´s sake. Posts: 7056 | From: Finland | Registered: Feb 2008 | Site Updates: 7

I agree with you all. The Warriors is a classic and a piece of the Furies memorabilia would be sweet to have like Peter Lemonjello has.
I thought Megaforce was stupid.
I have many copies of Blackout Warrior. Didn't know it was a Craven flick. Sounds like its a must see.

I do have to ask Peter Lemonjello. Hows a guy with 26 posts have a 5 star rating so fast? Interesting. Posts: 1991 | From: The deep end | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 14
