This six minute car chase from The Master Touch (1972) is one of my favorites with Giuliano Gemma getting chased all over town, including through a cardboard box factory. There's always a cardboard box factory.
I don't care what anyone says... RV is a dang funny flick. Cheryl Hines's performance of Little GTO had me laughing for days. aWaaaWaaAAAAAA! WaaawawawawawaaAAAAA !

One of my all-time favorite trailers, both for the non-stop violence and the catchy theme song. Directed by and starring comedian Duke Mitchell, this movie also goes by the name The Executioner.

Theme song from Mitchell (1975), starring Joe Don Baker, Linda Evans, and John Saxon. The only thing that would make this clip better is if Saxon were in it.
Shatner talks a lot. It keeps him from asking why he can't have one sign. One tiny infintesimal sign to sustain him in the darkness. To touch, to see.

Margaret Lee performs a great Italio-pop lounge act in Arriva Dorellik (AKA How to Kill 400 Duponts). The movie was a parody of Danger: Diabolik, and is pretty cheese-ball. But this scene is great.
If the first two minutes of The Dion Brothers doesn't make you want to watch the whole thing immediately, there's no hope for you.

I thought the first Kibakichi, a movie about a Samurai Werewolf, was pretty sweet. I just finished the newly-released sequel, and it, in a word, sucks. Check out this 'climactic battle' between the good male werewolf and the bad female werewolf.
Shatner wants a report. A down the line report. Nothing more. No curves!

This Italian flick features an amazing score by the prolific Gianni Marchetti. This fight scene between special agent Marc Stone and a group of Swedish thugs is a good example of Marchetti's ability to switch between musical styles with ease.
