Just in case you thought the good folks at Vinegar Syndrome only release version of vintage porn flicks, it may come as news that they are also providing another valuable social service: remastering long-forgotten grind house "classics". Case in point: "The Muthers", a 1976 gem that plays out like the ultimate Tarantino fantasy. It's a combination of several genres: Women in Prison, chop socky, sexploitation and blaxploitation. It doesn't get any better than this if you were weaned on this glorious type of sleaze that played routinely on 42nd Street. Directed by cult "B" movie favorite Cirio Santiago, "The Muthers" is yet another low-budget flick from the era that was filmed in the Philippines. The movie opens with a memorable introduction to the titular characters. They are Kelly (Jeannie Bell) and her equally sexy sidekick Anggie, who are female pirates with an all-male crew. We see them aboard their high speed,...

Over the course of the 23 official James Bond films that have been released over the years, there have been a wide array of exciting locations, vehicles, villains and, of course, gadgets. But what would Bond be without his Bond girls? That’s a rhetorical question, but the answer is somewhat obvious – he’d be nowhere.
So as Bond girls are such an important aspect of the series, and there are plenty of articles questioning who the ‘best’ or the ‘sexiest’ Bond girl is, it feels like time to bring a slightly different spin to the debate, and decide who the most dangerous Bond girls are up to this point in the series. So to celebrate the girls who have made attempts at seducing Bond into their beds, or just plain tried to kill him, read on and see who the deadliest Bond Girls really are…

To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and as James Bond prepares for his 23rd official outing in Skyfall later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
Following the departure of George Lazenby after just one film in the lead role, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman were left wondering if the success and popularity of the series so far had been down to just one man, Sean Connery. While Lazenby had made a good impression as Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service his performance was essentially a reinterpretation of Connery rather than a reinvention of the role itself. With the producers keen to cast a new lead they set to work auditioning actors for the part,...
