If you get the chance, the LaBute remake is worth watching just to see how they entirely strip out ALL the atmosphere that's present in the original (and for the awful performance of the entire cast).<br /><br />Jamie -- I've heard of AIP, and went to check if I had seen any of their films. It turns out I've seen <i>Soultaker</i> via MST3K, but none of the others ring a bell. Apparently I stuck with the fine action films of Cannon and not these.<br /><br />I did find this site with many of the VHS boxes:<br />http://www.critcononline.com/aip_vhs_covers.htm<br /><br />Wow -- Jeff Conaway, Reb Brown, Vernon Wells, Joe Estevhez, Jan Michael Vincent, John Philip Law, Robert Ginty, Robert Z'Dar, Erik Estrada, Adam West, Cynthia Rothrock, a bunch of random kickboxers, and even some good actors who needed a paycheck or had outstanding gambling debts (Christopher Lee, David Carradine, Oliver Reed, etc.).<br /><br />I also noticed that my preferred place to grab these out-of-print bad movies has just about all of these available! <br /><br />http://cinemageddon.org/doku/doku.php/projects:action_international_pictures_project<br /><br />Looks like a treasure trove of greatness there! Look for reviews of <i>Elves</i>, <i>Last Flight to Hell</i>, and <i>Enemy Unseen</i> at some point in time.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785859730868628316.post-58716591081157860942009-09-02T13:42:21.773-07:002009-09-02T13:42:21.773-07:00I figured as much, hehe.

I think I like Christopher Lee's response when asked what he thought about the remake...he simply said: "why?"<br /><br />Ha. Great stuff.Kevin J.

Troy? Any thoughts on this? And any kind of film that we could review (and you could add to the discussion, too) would be great! For now I'll let Troy tackle the AIP question.Kevin J.

We seem to see eye to eye on a lot of this 80's trash (that I do in fact still love). <br /><br />Are you familiar with AIP (not the Corman's 'American International' but ACTION international pictures') from the 80's? they made mostly low grade action films. David A. Prior was the chief 'director'. He made like 12 films in '91 alone. My friends and I still laugh at 'Jungle Assault' 10 years later after first seeing it. if you need any of these for future discussions I can try and dub you copies. <br /><br />or maybe a review of 'Rumpelstiltskin'?Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785859730868628316.post-21497320249122912632009-09-02T12:57:23.563-07:002009-09-02T12:57:23.563-07:00Jamie:
