I miss Buffy.

We normally aim to keep things PG-13 rated here, but occasionally we will slide over the line to the territory of ‘Not Safe For Work’. This would be one of those times. We’ll say no more, except that Ride of the Valkyries will never seem the same again. In case you’re curious – Fleggard are a chain of Danish supermarkets.

We’ve covered a couple of examples of Mexitrash before, in La Guerrera Vengadora 2, El Jardinero 2 and Perra Maldita: here is a vintage example. This clip comes from a 1968 film called Con Licencia Para Matar, which translates as “With a License To Kill” – I hear the Broccolis preparing a law-suit as we speak. It stars Emily Cranz, Maura Monti and Barbara Angely as three women who have ‘normal’ lives by day, but fight crime and international terrorists by night. It proved popular enough to merit a sequel, Muñecas peligrosas. Now, where can we find the whole thing…?

[Update, December 2013. I now have a source for the whole film, albeit without subtitles. We’ll see what happens in 2014!]

The nice people over at Bitch Slap were kind enough to send us a copy of the new trailer for their film, which explains a bit more about the plot, and has whetted my appetite to see this one even more. The release date for this one is now looking to be at some point next year, though there is as yet no exact date. Which is probably the only thing about the film that is not firm. :-) Enjoy!

So, I was just updating the links page, removing some of the inevitable deadwood that results with the passage of time, and I realized a bit of a heinous omission: CSaGaG.com was not listed. That’s an acronym for Cheap Site about Girls and Guns, which is exactly what it says: a copious collection of pics, videos and other resources on the topic. Having rectified it’s non-appearance on the links page, by way of an apology and some promotion for them [in their alias site of gungirls.eu], here’s their promo reel. Though I must confess I now have an overwhelming urge to go and watch Die Hard… :-)

Stumbling around the tubes of the Interwebs, we found the following video, in which Michael Hurst deconstructs the upcoming Bitch Slap, a flick that looks like a most amusing homage to the B-exploitation films we love, with stunt co-ordinator Zoe (Grindhouse) Bell. How can any movie go wrong with Lucy Lawless as a mother superior? For more info, check out the official website. We will, needless to say, be following this one with interest.

Ms. 45 is one of the quintessential girls-with-guns films of all time, taking the concept and running with in a way that beautifully combines the fascination with the fear. Here’s the original trailer for Abel Ferrara’s grindhouse classic – you can read our article on the movie here.

Venetian Princess is the owner of one of the most renowned channels on YouTube, with her videos skewering various aspects of pop culture, and showcasing impressive levels of production for something she basically films in her living-room! Here is her take on Lara Croft: it’s rather more entertaining than The Cradle of Life, for my money…

On the importance of keeping your elbow straight when firing a gun…

Readers will know how Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS is one of our guiltiest pleasures – and so, Werewolf Women Of The S.S. was about our favorite part of Grindhouse. While we wait for that to get made, Wild Eye Releasing didn’t, and have brought us Blitzkrieg: Escape from Stalag 69, which had it’s world premiere on May 24th in New York. Here’s the trailer. At the risk of stating the bleedin’ obvious, it’s Not Safe For Work. And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
