Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #151!
Mama's Dirty Girls (Premiere Releasing Corporation, 1974)
Any movie with that title, Sondra Currie, and Candice Rialson? TOTALLY want to see it!
The Dragon Strikes Back (aka Shanghai Joe) (Beacon Films Inc, 1976)
This Italian (!) martial arts flick was made in 1973 when it played under the Shanghai Joe title in foreign lands. Three years later it was brought to America and slapped with this title for a run in our grindhouses and drive-ins. I haven't seen it - but with that cast I'd be all over it!
The Beast with Five Fingers (Warner Bros., 1946)
This one I've seen! Pretty cool little suspenser with a dead pianist seemingly committing murders from beyond the grave - directing his own severed hand to throttle his victims!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Ah! The Five Fingered Beast! I heard of this one, was this the original version of The Hand? The one that starred Michael Caine? I love that movie as a kid (again) and even loved it more as...a man-child.
ReplyDeleteThe Hand might well have been inspired by it - but they are very different movies.
ReplyDeletehmm yes, just watched The Beast with Five Fingers last night; different movie, but I saw some influences.
Delete"The real brother of Bruce Lee! Sort of..."
ReplyDeleteSame last name and everything! ;)
