A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

"A warning to the rich: Get Off Our Backs!"

Also released in the US as "Slumfighter" which is a far superior title, but I guess they wanted people to think of "Death Wish." Basically there are there good honest people living in this tenement who are being oppressed by The Man, "but they can only take so much before they are forced to fight!" If nothing else, check out the original trailer, which is gold from beginning to end:

You'll note a universally low production quality, and even the fight choreography is poorly done. But the actors have some real physical skills, so you'll frequently see a decent leap, spin, or jump-kick. With a bit more money this could have reached "Bloodsport" levels. And the main theme is truly funky.

Summary: entertaining, if your expectations are as low as a landlord... That's a Promise!
