Get ready to watch the GREATEST 2 minutes of video you have ever seen in your ENTIRE goddamn life!!!
Machete Maidens Unleashed
From the Official Facebook Page:
"MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED! is the new feature film from Mark Hartley, the director of the award-winning documentary NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD. It is the first detailed examination and celebration of Filipino genre filmmaking – a world where stunt men came cheap, plot was obsolete and the make-up guy was packin’ heat!
From the early '70s well into the '90s the Philippines was a back-lot for a bevy of renegade B-movie makers and cinema visionaries alike. The country was utilized for its inexpensive labour, exotic locations and distinct lack of rules. A tidal schlock-wave of genre work emerged that somehow managed to capture the raw, chaotic energy of contemporary Filipino culture.
These productions (a cavalcade of monster movies, jungle prison movies, blaxploitation and kung fu hybrids) were miraculously made at a time when the country's political situation was repressive at best. But, this was a revolution that even the Marcos dictatorship couldn’t crush!"
