Unlike Bonnie Rotten.

I don't know her, Grey is the only modern porn star I really know. I used to date a woman who liked her stuff. I am much more a fan of sexploitation stars from the 60s through to some of the actresses in the rougher end of 70s porn.

Nope, but I really like Wood, he has had an interesting career post LOTR.

I just watched the trailer, Neil Maskell is in it and if I am honest watching him act gives me a bigger boner than watching Grey.

I saw this on its cinema release. People were screaming and cheering each time a scum bag was blown away! Then again I did see it in a neighbouring town to my home town that only had three pubs due to some old by law. The irony being that the cinema I saw it in doubles up as The Mermaid pub in the alcohol fuelled The World's End.

As I say, this foray into sequels per se is half joy joy and half excreta .... just like life
The 5th is madder but this taketh some beating (just like the throng of ne'r do wells at the end )

Been on a bit of a Shinya Tsukamoto marathon...

Tetsuo: The Iron man

The plot, such as it is, has a salaryman and his missus running over a 'metal fetishist' played by Shinya Tsukamoto himself. The pair decide to hide the body but the salaryman soon finds himself transforming into a metal man.
The narrative may be a bit thin but its all there to serve what can only really be described as an Audio visual experience. Shot in harsh black & white with a pounding industrial soundtrack Tsukamoto deploys all the tricks at his disposal including stop motion photography, frenetic camera work and rapid editing and bizarre imagery, including the lead actors cock turning into a drill, all to assault the audience in one of the wildest and weirdest cyberpunk films ever made.

Tetsuo: The body hammer.

Not so much a sequel as a reworking of the original, Tsukamoto delivers more of a narrative here as a mild mannered salaryman is attacked by a strange cult-like group. This triggers a transformation in him that causes him to mutate into an iron man. After his son dies the seemingly mild-mannered man goes after the cult.
Here Tsukamoto switches out stark, grimy black & white for gorgeous orange pallets. He shoots images of bodybuilders with an almost fetishistic attention to detail. He contrasts this with the strange metallic transformations of the iron man to look at the ways the human body can be transformed both artifically and naturally.

Hiruko the goblin.

Tsukamoto steps in front of the camera once again. Here he plays an archaeologist who goes to investigate the disappearance of his brother-in-law who claims to have discovered an ancient tomb. He soon discovers an ancient evil has been awakened and must work with students from the local school to stop it.
While Tsukamoto is working more as a director for hire adapting someone else's material, he's a horror movie fan and lifts from his favourites to make this film work. The primary influence is clearly Sam Raimi as the film has a strong Evil Dead feel to proceedings. We also get plenty of strange imagery and some of Tsukamoto's own fixations including transformations of the human body. Overall a solid horror movie and a great introduction to newcomers to the directors work.
