Plot summary

In the final decades of the 20th century, the Philippines was a country where low-budget exploitation-film producers were free to make nearly any kind of movie they wanted, any way they pleased. It was a country with extremely lax labor regulations and a very permissive attitude towards cultural expression. As a result, it became a hotbed for the production of cheapie movies. Their history and the genre itself are detailed in this breezy, nostalgic documentary.

A great and fast paced documentary about exploitation

A great and fast paced documentary about exploitation films in the Philippines from Mark Hartley, the man behind Not Quite Hollywood and Electric Boogaloo. 90% of films covered is Roger Corman stuff and the doc can double as New World Pictures tribute. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Machete Maidens Unleashed! shows you some pretty messed

Machete Maidens Unleashed! shows you some pretty messed up stuff, but fails to be emotionally affecting. A lot of different facets are being explored, but none of them really get time, or are being presented in an humorous way, so that it is hard for them to have any deeper impact. It is an interesting subject matter though and I had a lot of fun with it... I just don't know, if I should have. See for yourself.

Uno de los mejores documentales sobre cine (y

Uno de los mejores documentales sobre cine (y cine de culto en general) que he visto nunca. No solo trata un tema algo más desconocido (bastante underground de hecho), sino que además lo hace de una forma muy dinámica y entretenida. Da igual que no te interese la filipinoexploitation, si te gustan los documentales y el cine, este tienes que verlo si o si.
