That's Sexploitation!
-
From director Frank Henenlotter (Frankenhooker, Brain Damage) and co-producer Mike Vraney (the late founder of Something Weird Video) comes the epic documentary critics call "fascinating" (Video Watchdog), "titillating" (Time Out Los Angeles) and "jaw-dropping" (Seattle Weekly): Henenlotter and legendary exploitation monarch David F. Friedman - in his final film appearance - are your hosts for this eye-popping expedition through the world of pre-code peekaboos, stags, sex-hygiene films, goona-goonas, nudie-cuties, roughies, druggies, white-coaters and more, featuring thousands of spicy, steamy and downright sleazy clips from the SWV archives.

Attack of the Jungle Women
-
Bill Phillips, his wife, Tom Guardia and a group of adventurous land developers from the Pan American Highway Commission make their way through the unfriendly jungles of Central Panama (where white men not welcome.) Bill tries to gain the trust of the dangerous Cuna tribe, so he and Eve live amongst the natives and participate in their ritual ceremonies and drink jungle moonshine. Meanwhile Guardia and the others confront a hostile tribe of headhunting jungle women, are savagely tortured and sacrificed (this footage was added to the documentary style travelogue to liven things up a bit.) Needless to say, the Highway Commission finds an alternate route through the defiant jungle.

Ma Barker’s Killer Brood
-
Oh, who cares how much of this is really true or not. Ma Barker's Killer Brood is how things should have been. And after seeing this wild, hilarious, and consistently over-the-top B-movie bio-pic, it's damn near impossible to think of Ma Barker any other way than as played by everyone's favorite scenery-chewing little old lady, LURENE TUTTLE: "Shoot him, Herman! Shoot him!"
The Sadist

Fun in Balloon Land
-
If you're simply crazy about giant balloons, parades, floats, and marching bands, then Fun in Balloon Land is for you! Unintentionally campy, this amateur production will leave you shaking your head and asking yourself, Why, oh why?! Little Sonny falls asleep in mothers arms and dreams he's transported to a most mystical magical land Balloon Land! There he is greeted by gigantic helium-filled fairy tale characters and awkward kids who muddle through song and dance routines. After a rousing rendition of Ring Around The Rosy, Sonny comes out wearing a pair of gold lamé short-shorts (looking very much like a miniature go-go boy) and has an adventure at the bottom of the sea. The lad shakes hands with a giant octopus and meets some weirdees, including two mermaids, a fish who sounds like Paul Lynde, and a guy in a scary paper-maché lobster costume.
Love Me or Leave
-
A fictionalized account of the career of jazz singer Ruth Etting and her tempestuous marriage to gangster Marty Snyder, who helped propel her to stardom.
Incredible Petrified World
-
Lovers of true grade-Z schlock either genuflect or run screaming at the mere mention of JERRY WARREN, the auteur of such cheapjack epics as Man Beast ('56), Terror of the Bloodhunters ('62), and The Wild Wild World of Batwoman ('66). (He also imported numerous Mexican films, recut them, added new scenes, and usually removed most of the dialogue so they wouldn't nee redubbing!) The Incredible Petrified World, Warren's second film, is a no-budget "Nightmare of Terror is the Center of the Earth!" - not!

Shrewd, conniving goddess Stacey Kane (MEG MYLES) is a second-rate stripper in a third-rate carnival. Startled when she finds her junkie ex-husband lurking in her dressing room, Stacey promptly steals every cent he has and hops on a plane for New York. Great, gritty exploitation which packed a hell of a wallop in the more innocent days of 1962.
Maniac
-
There’s no way around it. DWAIN ESPER’s Maniac can justifiably be called one of the greatest exploitation films ever made. Not content to crank out another sex hygiene or dope film, Esper and his wife, HILDAGARDE STADIE (who wrote the screenplay), concocted a uniquely delirious mix of horror film, discourse on mental illness, and whacked-out girly show. The plot – if you can call it that – pulls elements from Frankenstein, Mystery of the Wax Museum, and Poe’s “The Black Cat,” as well as the spicy spectacle of exploitation epics of the day.
