EDITOR’S NOTE: Bowery Blitzkrieg was on USA Up All Night on September 21, 1990. The East Side Kids were the scrappy, wise-cracking antidote to the polished studio system, and Bowery Blitzkrieg (released in the UK as Stand and Deliver) is a pivotal entry in that rough-and-tumble canon. Directed by Sam Katzman, this is the flick that officially […]
Produced by none other than Dick Clark, this isn’t just another flick meant to wither away at a drive-in. It’s a kinetic, countercultural collision of genres that deserves its place in the pantheon of exploitation classics. It takes place in a world fraught with tension, set on a reservation where modern-day Native Americans are trying […]
Ms. Johnson (Jacqueline Cole, director Grayden Clark’s wife) has perhaps the smallest cheer squad ever at Benedict High School. Just four girls — Debbie (Alisa Powell, The Toolbox Murders), Sharon (Sherry Marks), Patti (Kerry Sherman, Eyes of Fire) and Chris (Hillary Horan, Young Doctors In Love) — who are more interested in playing touch football […]

He co-wrote it with Peter Berling, who was often in […]

Carla (Marki Bey, Sugar Hill herself!), Heather (Pat Woodell, The Big Doll House), Beth (Roberta Collins, Eaten Alive, Unholy Rollers), Brea (Laurie Rose AKA Misty Dawn, the wife of John Holmes) and Paula (Christina Hart, The Stewardesses) take a summer vacation together on Lake Arrowhead. This would seem to be a very Corman nurse movie […]
