Buxom beauties! Bizarre creatures! Gratuitous violence!

To the exploitation filmmakers of the 1970s and 1980s there was no stunt too risky, no story too ridiculous, and no clothing that could not be removed in the name of mass entertainment. The name of the game was to move fast and cheap and to them the Far East was a filmmaking Promised Land of lax government restrictions, unheeded safety regulations, and (mostly) free exotic locales.

With Machete Maidens Unleashed acclaimed filmmaker Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood) dives head first into the hidden history of the American backed Asian production boom. Filled with outrageous footage from this lost era and firsthand accounts from Roger Corman, Joe Dante, John Landis, Jack Hill and a host of others, Machete Maidens Unleashed is a delirious ride through one of the most exhilarating periods of film history.

    Hammer Dokumentation!!

    Kickboxende Zwerge, Pappmaché-Monster, vollbusige Babes unter Waffen, Blut à discretion und Kampfszenen ohne Ende: Das sind die Ingredienzen der sogenannten Exploitationsfilme der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Mit Billigarbeit, exotischer Szenerie und nichtexistenten Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsvorschriften werbend, waren die Philippinen ein Mekka für ausbeuterische Filmemacher, deren Produktionen in Wellen rund um den Globus schwappten. Endlich bekommt die viel zu oft übersehene Welt aus Manila in MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED die wohl verdiente Anerkennung. Mark Hartley setzt der fliessbandmässig produzierenden einschlägigen Filmindustrie Manilas eine Art Denkmal, das durchaus auch Abrechnung ist. Interviews mit damaligen Kultfiguren geben Aufschluss über das Filmemachen ohne Geld, ohne Skrupel, ohne Grenzen und ? sehr oft auch ? ohne Kleider.
