They are both highly recommended weird and wonderful movies. Endgame was the original Running Man and Texas has an awesome bait-and-switch cover.<br /><br />The Indonesian movie Jaka Sembung / The Warrior is probably the weirdest action movie I ever watched. I wouldn't call it good, but it is funny. It includes wackiness like an eye transplantation performed with wooden knives. At one point, our hero is magically transformed into a pig. Muslims must certainly hate pigs, because when our hero the pig walks into a village, everyone runs out to hit him with sticks. The movie also has a magical flying head. Surprisingly, it's not Jalal Merhi's.Roger Renmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065576.post-35956147706260079142014-07-05T13:57:19.932-04:002014-07-05T13:57:19.932-04:00Thanks for the suggestions!

Of course, you're familiar with the American PM and AIP output. The Italians made the weirdest action movies, in my opinion. Anything by Enzo G. Castellari is recommended, as is anything filmed in the Philippines, or made by Rapi Films in Indonesia or Davlan International in Thailand.<br />Some recommended movies:<br />Escape From The Bronx<br />The Last Hunter<br />Cannibal Apocalypse (in spite of its name, it's more of an action movie)<br />Thunder (Warrior) (the first one is awesome)<br />Ten Zan (How often does one get to watch a movie filmed in North Korea and produced by the Great Leader?)<br />The Big Fight (great Chinese movie from 1972, it might be the first Punchfighter?)<br />Ironmaster - is fun<br />Thor The Conqueror (not that good, but funny/weird)<br />The Barbarians - another fun movie<br />Double Target with Miles O'Keeffe (similar to Strike Commando, awesome)<br />Phantom Raiders with O'Keeffe (I think this one would really float your boat)<br />One movie that I watched this week and thoroughly enjoyed was Aftermath from 1982 with Steve Barkett. It has one of the greatest covers ever: http://www.fixgalleria.net/release.php?id=1421<br /><br />These are just off the top of my head, but I don't think you've reviewed any of them. Luckily, the 80s and early 90s are a goldmine of cinematic weirdness. I'm still finding golden nuggets almost every week.<br /><br />Thanks for asking!Roger Renmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065576.post-19311631228844506932014-07-04T19:29:25.482-04:002014-07-04T19:29:25.482-04:00Your comment is spot on as usual, Roger.

Between the mind-boggling sartorial fashion (Brad Harris's look) and the mind-juggling topless tennis, this is a truly incredible movie. For the average viewer, it may be a little challange-ing (as per the poster), but for us true connoisseurs, this can only be described as a winner. And that's no bull. All I can say is, Thanks for the recommendation.Roger Renmannoreply@blogger.com
