VHS
Now, I’m not really into VHS. As far as home video formats go, it is rather awful, and the tapes don’t age well (although a played out VHS tape has a built-in “back in the day” vibe, it is generally undesirable). With that said, rifling through a ton of decomissioned VHS tapes can often turn up some rare gems if you’re into oddball cult b-movies (I am) that are either unavailable on DVD or need to be special ordered through people that are more obsessed with this stuff than even I. I’ll take a chance on anything that looks truly awful, as I clearly have some sort of weird masochistic relationship with film. Anyway, here’s what I brought home today:
Let it be noted that what I was really after was a copy of Superfly T.N.T. I picked up Friday Foster and Willie Dynamite, which are both readily available on DVD but I don’t have them, but no luck with Superfly. The search continues…

Friday Foster |
 |
Willie Dynamite |
 |
Lady Terminator 1980s Indonesian action film. Ridiculous premise and horrible acting. A winner. |
 |
The Weird Ones Apparently a retitle of 1971’s The Irv Carlson Show starring Arch Hall, Sr. The one review I’ve found makes it sound painful to watch, so it should be great! |
 |
Secret Agent 00 Soul Looks like a lousy Billy Dee B-film. Looking forward to checking this one out. |
All in all, some decent loot for 18 bucks.
