Brent Huff's Greatest Moment & a Bruno Mattei BLAST - right at the end of the Eighties Action Explosion BUT what a way to go out. The closing part of the movie is like Bruno said use everything we have to blow things up as it may be the last time we get to do this !. Everything is then blown up three times bigger than pretty much anything else that went before. A Big Favourite. Enjoy
I've just watched BORN TO FIGHT and I'll have to agree with the both of you. Just awesome!!! I find it odd that Italian cinema is so popular when we talk about zombie, giallo, horror, and cannibal flicks. These films are being released and re-released all the time. I love them too but how many versions of Zombie Flesh Eaters are there now. I'm at a loss as to why these highly entertaining war movies don't create any interest amongst fans of Italo cinema. :/
if you like Born to fight, check COP GAME also directed by Bruno...I think these two movies makes a very nice couple examples of good italian movies made in the philippines!
Sorry,I don't know. I just know that this title is a favourite one in the Spanisj cable TVs...it has been showed thousands times but always dubbed into Spanish lang. But I think it must not be very difficult to track down any VHS edition.
To anyone seeking Filipino action/war or Macaroni Combat films of the 60s through the 80s (also Germany, Spain, and Japan), look no further than CULTACTION.COM. This company has an extensive library and seeks out the highest quantity prints available, usually uncut and widescreen with superior graphics (original awesome poster art!) in full plastic DVD cases. Don't be fooled into thinking that the online catalog is all that they have to offer. I have contacted them via their site with extensive wish lists (they LOVE wish lists!) and most of my requests can be fulfilled. Do not be intimidated to buy from them. Request that any shortcomings of a particular title be explained and they will be forthcoming with this information. Out-of-print and Public Domain grindhouses can be a snakepit of dubious quality. So far, I have purchased 12 titles and have been amazed at the quality of these rare unremastered prints. I have an extensive list of titles that I will purchase as my budget allows. So far I have bought these titles, all uncut and widescreen: Commandos, Battle of the Damned, War Devils, Desert Battle, Dirty Heroes, Desert Commandos, The Battle of El Alamein, Probability Zero, Hell in Normandy, Red Roses for the Fuhrer, Japan Sinks (Japanese disaster movie, 1973), and Zero Pilot (Japanese perspective WW2 movie). All exceeded expectations with clear, beautiful prints. Red Roses for the Fuhrer had a "bug" for RAI in the upper right hand corner throughout and Hell in Normandy had something (I assume it was a "bug") pop up a number of times during the film. Neither film was hindered by these flaws. CULT ACTION also threw in a bonus disc of a pilot for a TV show from the 60s called Garrison's Guerrillas for, I guess, my purchasing volume. I CANNOT GUARANTEE that this will happen for anyone buying through them but it shows that that they are a CLASS ACT! Being one of the cult seeking these rare cinematic gems, I had to shout from the rooftops about my find. So often in forums, I am amazed at how little success film fanatics have in searching for rare titles. Why pan for GOLD when I have given you the map to the MINE! Tell them Glenn Zimmermann sent you!

ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree with Mr. Cooke more, this film is fantastically entertaining.
ReplyDeleteIf the films of Bruno Mattei taught me anything it's that, if you shoot a building made entirely out of straw enough times, it WILL explode.
Wauw, that sounds awesome!! I've just won it on eBay so it'll take a while before it gets here but I'm def. looking forward to it even more now.
ReplyDeleteMr. Annonymous; Haha, yeah them straw huts!!! LOL.
