Watch: Machete Maidens Unleashed! 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – Karate-kicking midgets! Paper-mache monsters! Busty babes with blades! Filipino genre films of the ’70s and ’80s had it all. Boasting cheap labour, exotic scenery and non-existent health and safety regulations, the Philippines was a dreamland for exploitation filmmakers whose renegade productions were soon engulfing drive-in screens around the globe like a tidal schlock-wave! At last, the all-too-often overlooked world of drive-in filler from Manilla gets the Mark Hartley (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD) treatment in Machete Maidens Unleashed! This is the ultimate insiders’ account of a faraway backlot where stunt men came cheap, plot was obsolete and the make-up guy was packing heat! Machete Maidens Unleashed! features interviews with cult movie icons Roger Corman, Joe Dante, John Landis, Sid Haig, Eddie Romero and a large assembly of cast, crew and critics, each with a jaw-dropping story to tell about filmmaking with no budget, no scruples, no boundaries and – more often than not – no clothes. Strap yourselves in – and join us for a non-stop Filipino femme-fest, all the way from the jungles of the Pacific via the trash cans of the critics!.
Plot: In the final decades of the 20th century, the Philippines was a country where low-budget exploitation-film producers were free to make nearly any kind of movie they wanted, any way they pleased. It was a country with extremely lax labor regulations and a very permissive attitude towards cultural expression. As a result, it became a hotbed for the production of cheapie movies. Their history and the genre itself are detailed in this breezy, nostalgic documentary.

Reviews:

Yet another outstanding doco on cult cinema from Mark Hartley!
I don’t usually give out such high ratings but Mark Hartley’s new doco about the Filipino exploitation films of the 70’s and 80’s by way of Corman’s New World Pictures is wonderful.

The interviews with former directors and stars are many and all entertaining. The clips and trailers shown are even better.

Any fan of B movies will love this.

I hope that this gets some sort of cinema release as Hartley and Co have clearly put much work and passion into this. His last doco NOT QUITE Hollywood was criminally ignored in this country.

After seeing the wretched INCEPTION (with a ridiculous budget of $150 Million) earlier in the evening, MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED was a fine celebration of purely entertaining cinema made on low budgets.

More please Mr Hartley. How about Italian exploitation flicks of the 70’s and 80’s next? I wish cinema could be this fun again.

Imprisoned
I haven’t seen the (as many say) superior “Not quite Hollywood” yet. But this documentary on another “movies on the cheap” documentary is more than watchable. The inclusion of some directors, who either only like sleaze or also have done those type of movies, is very welcome. John Landis in particular was funny as ever (though I heard complaints from other viewers, that he was “too negative” in their opinion), as are all the other directors.

I also have to admit, that I haven’t seen most of the movies on display here. And even if you are a fan, you have to admit that some of them are more than cheap ;o) Still nice to watch and enjoyable enough
