Some one says B-movie and you think.....

What is the first movie that pops into your mind when some starts talking about B-movies. And I'm not talking guilty pleasures or Campy classics, I mean strait up B grade movie.

Mine is Chopper Chicks in Zombietown followed by Hell comes to Frogtown.

Kabuki Man NYPD.; ▶ Reply to This

Turns out that inside is what remains of Duane's once-conjoined twin, Belial, who was surgically separated from Duane and left for dead on a trash heap. Now the siblings seek murderous vengeance on the doctors responsible, and Belial won't let anything stop him -- least of all Duane's nascent romance with a coy receptionist.; ▶ Reply to This

Although two classic always come to mind for me the most:

Riki-Oh

The Dragon Lives Again

If you have not heard of the latter, then your life is not truly complete. It is more like D-Grade (especially the transfer), but oh so cheesy! One line of dialogue from my review back in the day sums it up best: BRUCE LEE FLIES!!

Enjoy.; ▶ Reply to This
