Raiders of Atlantis...Trash Tweets Episode 1

This was something a little bit different... I watched the awesome RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS again and kept my Twitter feed up. Here is what happened.

Does anyone have interest in joining me for group viewings and comments?

Timeline for RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS! I'm going to spruce these viewings up with live photos next time-and then I'll reprint them here.

Music Break


Atlantis? "It should be bobbing up to the surface like a beach ball in about 10 minutes!" OH CRAP..only in #EuropeanTrashCinema

@NerdoCulto So true, and here comes BRUCE BARON as Crystal Skull. Great flick!!

The entire control room explodes and this jackass wants "secondary circuits!" The sea bottom is going crazy and here comes...ATLANTIS!!

BOOOOOM...first "Post Nuker" Italian Raiders have arrived! All Hail #RaidersOfAtlantis #EuropeanTrashCinema

Miniature Apocalypse! Massive Waves! Christopher Connelly bobbing and Tony King weaving! This is #EuropeanTrashCinema

Atlantis...in a bubble...and now starts the apocalypse in force. Somehow our heroes little boat survives the tidal waves!

"Well I love you too dirtball...Wash, throw his ass back in there!" Ah, manly dialog ala #EuropeanTrashCinema


Connelly swagger line..."As soon as we get back I'll take you out for a spinach dinner!" Eurobabes LOVE spinach!

"I've got an idea, but it's too incredible. It's impossible!" Baby, this is #EuropeanTrashCinema 

Ruggero Deodato knows how to do the whole "guys walk in on splatter scene" routine very very well. #RaidersOfAtlantis tops Cut and Run!

Here come #TheRaidersOfAtlantis again. Spiked cars, Spiked Bats and Bruce Baron!

Ruggero Deodato is good at shooting action, gore, horror and humor. Truly a #EuropeanTrashCinema titan!

Great score for this one by the always fun "Oliver Onions"-The DeAngelis Brothers! Perfect for decapitating postnuke bikers too!

Those wacky #RaidersOfAtlantis have echoing screams that rule!

"Interceptors?" Christopher Connelly fears no Interceptors nor Raiders.

"We have returned to reestablish our presence!" Atlantis is pissed at the surface world in #EuropeanTrashCinema 

Now that was a BBQ!! The #RaidersOfAtlantis ain't messing around!

Arrow in the face! Shotgun Blast to the chest! Sword fighting?? Combat ala Deodato in the #EuropeanTrashCinema Arena!

Tony King is one of those guys that always seems to be having fun in #EuropeanTrashCinema 

 Helicopter versus van...some excellent stunts and Christopher Connelly blasting a chopper out of the sky is a bonus!

In #Horror movies they always go back in "the house" and in #EuropeanTrashCinema 4 dudes just attack Atlantis. Why not?

"Don't look like no advanced civilization to me...they look like a bunch of trees!"

Argentinian Ninja Tactics take down Atlantis Interceptors with Ease!

"Bill...don't leave me here in this hole alone!!!!!!" Random gunfire!!! Guy falls off cliff!!!! Awesome!

    
 Christopher Connelly vs. Bruce Baron! Sword against whip! Thank you for #RaidersOfAtlantis Ruggero Deodato.

"We can't move...we're immobilized" says Tony King as he leans down to say it to Christopher Connelly. And then stands up!

"You better run sinner...run!!" An epic escape for our Merc pals after they defeat Atlantis!

"Well...now are you gonna ask me out for that spinach dinner?" Yep, Eurobabes love Spinach. Cardinal rule of #EuropeanTrashCinema 

Oliver Onions playing us out of #RaidersOfAtlantis with Black Inferno! Viva Ruggero Deodato, Christopher Connelly and Mike King!

The Dead Man Series...Must Reads for Men (and Ladies) of ACTION!

A ways back I reviewed THE DEAD MAN: FACE OF EVIL by Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin and loved it. Remember this review?? And this vacation allowed me to catch up with the next FOUR volumes in the series. Each one is a must for your bookshelf or E-Reader!  I'm not kidding. These books WILL kick you in the ass and make you sit gingerly on the edge of your seat before punching you in the gut with awesome bursts of horror!  And then...the AXE of the DEAD MAN strikes.
Hyperbole? Sure...but I really like these.
So, what did I read?

 THE DEAD MAN 2: RING OF KNIVES (Hard Copy and Kindle) is one of my favorites so far, it hits hard with every word and never lets up.  Number 2 is a tough thing in any series. While the first book is set up, and usually a bit more carefully laid out, the formula gets applied and creativity gets tested. I can be made to read any series for a first book, and if it is great then I'll be in for the second, but I apply a much higher standard...it needs to be better than the first book!  And this one takes my only real complaint about #1 (the high McSpawn factor) and goes full tilt at it with fists flying and knives singing songs of blood n' guts.
James Daniels, you have a new fan here.
Ring of Knives has "that motherfucker that survived a gawdamm avalanche and then can see Mr. Dark and his pussy minions all around"(my quotes by the way)-Matt Cahill-catching a flat and hitching a ride in Incredible Hulk fashion. Well, it sucks to be Matt, this we know, but damn!  He ends up in an Institution of Fleshy Dissolution completely by accident, but fate deals the cards and the Dead Man will play them through.  He gets tortured, he battles evil. He kicks a ton of ass. There is horror. There is action. There is tension.  I wet my pants.  I...wait, I didn't wet my pants, thankfully I was on the toilet when I read the part that has Matt laying the boots to nuts on a cloddish foe.

"Namaste," he said, "you fuckhead."

Daniels does a great job reveling in the more horrific of the elements set up in Face of Evil with another possible Dead Man seeing a "pal" named Rotten Jack and the Mr. Dark stuff plays much stronger and is explained a bit more.  I loved the way the tough guy Executioner meets the near Clive Barker level MEGAGIANT battle, yet even in the short running time it manages to build up some real dread with the looming appearance of the night shift and scraps of conversations being overheard. Spooky conversations. Scary conversations.  AHHHHH...FUCKING WEIRD STUFF MAN!!

So, if you liked the first volume I bet this will walk you into the E-Store for more, and probably from now on.  More reviews to come, and they just get more and more fun.  I will say this, Ring of Knives is in my short list of favorite book 2s of all time now.  The writer somehow missed the memo that THE AXE must always be present (and that gets fixed in all the other books), but with all  the knives on show, you get plenty of Flashes of The Blade as Iron Maiden would say.

Next up...HELL IN HEAVEN!
Don't forget to visit THE DEAD MAN online!
The book also includes a passage from James Daniels GHOST BRIDE that hooked me in. The writers of these get fair plugs...new fans...and that makes me happy too!

As an aside, I want a TV show of this...right now.  I can't help but picture The Genitorturers performing HIGHWAY TO HELL as the theme song. They haven't done that yet, but they did an AC/DC cover I enjoyed. Me, I'm thinking more this tone...

Joe D'Amato Porn Investigation Crew #7 The Boxer #1

I'm back!! And I'm digging deep into the D'Amato porn again.  The Boxer Part 1 (of a TRILOGY!!) is probably the least of the groovy entries I've watched so far, but features Rocco Siffredi and his beautiful wife Rosa Caracciolo going at it amongst a decent looking cast.  It also features a tale of a loser pugilist offered a chance at the big time if he can just get in one good punch with his "BIG RIGHT HAND!" 
Rocco's hands are probably big, but his dick is bigger and he has no problem applying it to any opponent willing to stand in front of it's stunning blows. 
Also on (one) hand is Sean Micheals and my new favorite porn name, Crayola Bleu! 
Fun?  A bit.  Good D'Amato styled porn with lots of slow motion shots that I could do without.  The boxing scenes are fun because they look like old styled Santo flicks.  Crowd shots, utterly empty backdrop around the "match" and then back to the crowd. 

Yep...the original has its own number!!

To wield the mighty staff of flesh, one must exercise!

I'm going to be looking for this, or at least the box it comes in!

"I may not fight well, but I carry a large stick!"

"Yes Rocco, I do smell pretty good down there!  BRAVO!"

"So..uh..that is how you box? I'll stick to fuckin'!"

"Man, the shirt may fool you, but we are about to DP the HELL out of that blonde!"

A modest dinner at the Siffredi house--better get Rocco's EuroAssBlast #22 into production!

And in this corner...mistress of the Donkey Punch!!

Rocco looks at the only opponent he can lay...out!  Triumph at last for THE BOXER!

HEY...I'm supposed to be delivering that body blow!!

Annnnnd....CREDIT WATCH!!

TEDDY CHUCK!!!! TEDDY CHUCK!!!!
