I’m not even going to bother explaining the plot as that is secondary to the main allure, the absolutely appalling quality and sheer ridiculousness of the film. What I thought was just going to be a lousy action film with a few laughable moments ended up being WAY over the top, with really bad production quality to sweeten the deal. It is seriously like if Ed Wood made an ’80s Asian grindcore film. An Indonesian Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yeah, it’s like that! Classic re-use of clips, low-budge special effects, the whole deal. Granted, it is a bit above Plan 9 as far as quality goes, but they came a lot further than THAT in 30 years. This is actually an Indonesian film from 1988 called “Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan,” and I found a trailer where it is also titled Nasty Hunter.

Here’s a clip from YouTube (note the segment where she’s walking with the gun on her shoulder, it is used over and over again):

The fine folks at Mondo Macabro have released Lady Terminator on DVD, so you too can check out a copy for yourself. I’m sure Quentin Tarantino had to have watched this at least a dozen times while preparing Death Proof. Believe me, you’ll see why.

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.
