From the makers of NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD:

Karate-kickin’ midgets! Paper-mache monsters! Busty babes with blades! Filipino genre films of the ’70s and ’80s had it all.

Boasting cheap labour, exotic scenery and non-existent health and safety regulations, the Philippines was a dreamland for exploitation filmmakers whose renegade productions were soon engulfing drive-in screens around the globe like a tidal schlock-wave!

Wish I was at Actionfest to see it. With the Thais making their mark in action movies, I'd love the see the Filipinos step it up.

Yeah, I need to see this movie BADLY! It was done by the same people who made the Ozploitation doc. "Not Quite Hollywood" which was freakin' awesome. This one looks like it could be even better.

It's on TV here tonight.

It might also stream here after it airs. Programs are usually streamed for 2 weeks after their original air date.

I'm not sure if you have to have an Australian IP address to use this service though.

Been there. Not bad. Not as good as the flip restuarants in Cali and Vegas though. Best is still mom's place though!

I know Cali and Vegas has Phoenix beat hands down and I'm sure mom's place has Cali and Vegas beat, LOL. I'm surprised there aren't as many Filipino places as Thai and Vietnamese places are popping up. I read a review about a new Cambodian joint that just opened up here.

Saw it at the Actionfest. Amusing but not revelatory. It could have been titled "Sam Sherman and Roger Corman make movies in the Phillipines" because that's the bulk of the documentary. And all of your fantasies about Colleen Camp and Jayne Kennedy will be ruined by their new interviews. Both aged into heavy looking creatures. Still, I love the Blood Island pictures, so it was cool to see Eddie Romero interviewed.
