After watching the "Kill a Dawn" recommended by the evil lord before, I believe you have seen the power of the American B-grade Cult film.
However, the brothers Quentin and Rodriguez are not satisfied with this little play ticket.
They've always had a dream of paying homage to the "Grindhouse films" that swept through the 1960s and 1980s.
The so-called "Grindhouse films", or "Mill films", refers to the fact that some cinemas in the 1960s and 1970s fell into disrepair and could only show some small-scale films (i.e., B-grade films) that were sold for sex, violence, and gore to attract customers.
And these films, because of the low cost of production, often only 60 minutes long, so these theaters usually broadcast two films in a row.
The B-grade film poster of the year.
This form of "mill film" once fascinated the two young directors so much that in 2007 they decided to relive their old dreams for themselves.
In order to pay tribute to that year, the name of the film is called "Grindhouse", which translates as "Execution Room".
Official poster and homage poster for The Execution Chamber.
Quentin and Rodriguez each made a 90-minute film in "The Execution Chamber", with a story independent, played in tandem, trying to imitate that year.
Even the posters for the film imitated the convention of the year — a propaganda poster with two films printed on a piece of paper.
They also deliberately colored the film, scratched the new film with a few scratches, and added some dust and noise, and the iron core wanted to make the long-disappeared "Grindhouse Movie" reappear in the world.
The old style that is visible to the naked eye.
Rodriguez's part is called "Planet of Terror", a plasma zombie film; Quentin's part is called "King Kong Is Not Bad", a violent crime film.
Both the style and the story are extremely Cult, and if there is any difference between it and the B-grade films of that year, it can only be a variety of cameos of big-name actors.
The B-grade films of that year could not afford such a wrist.
Let's start with Planet of Terror.
The stripper Cheri was in tears while dancing a very provocative pole dance.
There was no reason for him, but Cherie was tired of the life of a stripper and wanted to change. The bar owner's words reminded her that she was determined to become a comedian and resigned in anger.
Halfway down the road, he fell down because of a group of speeding military vehicles and broke his big white legs.
This wave of soldiers was not small, they were ordered to search for bin Laden on the Afghan border, and eventually they completed the mission, but they encountered a biological weapon DC-2 and were infected with a zombie virus. Their bodies began to decay, but they found that continued inhalation of DC-2 could delay the lesion.
The captain of the army is played by Bruce Willis, who is determined to keep his brethren alive.
He discovered that the DC-2 had been developed and sold by American scientists, so he led his troops to find the scientist Louis, and continued to buy the DC-2 from him, seeking to make an antidote.
The scientist is played by Indian actor Navion Andreews.
This scientist is not a good bird either, and he has a special habit of collecting eggs from his opponents, and the jar pictured above is full of eggs.
And the way they came up with the solution to develop an antidote is even more evil, that is, to infect more people with DC-2, and find immune bodies from it to make an antidote.
On the other side, Cherie leaves the bar to get together with her boyfriend Ray.
While they were driving on the road, they suddenly encountered a group of zombies, who dragged Cheri away and tore off one of her beautiful legs.
Ray took out his rifle and killed the zombies and took Cheri to the hospital.
In the hospital, more people who have been attacked or infected by zombies have been sent.
Gradually, these patients became completely zombified and began to indiscriminately attack the uninfected. Ray fitted Cherie with a wooden leg and encouraged her to stand up and fight.
Dressed in wood, Cheri immediately stood majestic and ready to fight with her boyfriend.
As for how a girl who just broke her leg can recover so quickly, the evil lord can only say don't care about these details, this is a B-grade film!
What follows is a bloody fancy zombie show to get a feel for it.
The couple who rushed out of the hospital went to the hotel they frequented to meet the remaining survivors.
Ray took advantage of this difficult and immortal opportunity to propose to Cheri, and saw that the two were about to have a beautiful cloud and rain.
Suddenly the picture cuts like this:
Really quite good at playing.
Soon the hotel was also besieged by zombies, and the survivors, led by Ray, decided to break out of the siege and flee the city for refuge.
Inevitably, another piece of blood plasma flew everywhere.
However, just as they were about to leave the city, they encountered an army led by Bruce Willis and were taken away.
In the base of the army, Quentin's cameo aide-de-camp appeared, known for his foot fetish, he wanted to put his hands on Cherie, but was killed by Cheri and poked his eyes with "feet", continuing the glorious tradition that Quentin must die a tragic death every time he made a cameo.
Ray, who is in captivity, meets the scientist, and the two communicate to learn that the captain is the culprit. So they went to confront the captain, but in fact the captain was also a victim.
But in any case, survival is the king, so we have to go to war.
Cherie's wooden leg was broken by poking Quentin, and Ray replaced her with a submachine gun, which was quite sharp.
After that, the plasma flew again, and the one-legged machine gun woman was officially born!
Really handsome no, feel free to feel it:
Unfortunately, during the battle, Ray was heroic and righteous, and in the end, Cheri escaped with a group of people and others by helicopter.
At the end of the film, Cherie leads the survivors to rebuild their home, and this is the scene behind the zombie bar in "Kill a Dawn".
Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of this kind of B-grade film, the plot, logic, and common sense are no longer important, the core lies in the stimulation of the senses, plasma, beauty, etc. are just appearances, so that you can feel comfortable and addictive after watching it is its real foundation.
Another movie from The Execution Chamber, Quentin's King Kong Is Not Bad, is no different.
With Quentin's beloved close-up of beautiful feet, the film slowly opens.
The three girls took the weekend to drive out of Hi Pi.
However, there is a strange black car that follows them all the way.
It wasn't until midnight at the destination that the owner of the black car appeared, and he called himself "Mike the Stuntman".
Due to his stunts, he often deals with death, and after a long period of stimulation, he becomes a perverted murderer.
Recently played by Kurt Russell, who played Star-Lord's perverted father.
Soon, Mike hooks up with a blonde beauty in the bar and prepares to take her home.
Blonde Beauty is the one-legged machine gun woman cameo in the previous film.
Mike's car has been specially modified, with armor on the outside and a torture chamber on the inside, claiming to be a "King Kong is not bad" car.
The blonde beauty was locked in the passenger seat and tortured.
But this blonde beauty was not actually Mike's target, and the three girls he had tailed before were his real targets.
At the same time, the previous girls also drove on the road, singing and laughing along the way.
Unbeknownst to them, Mike was driving his modified car towards them and bumping face to face. Only this kind of self-inflicted murder can satisfy Mike's demonic perverted sexual desires.
Quentin of Bad Taste replayed this crash scene from multiple angles and slow motions, and felt the malice:
Several girls were killed on the spot, and Mike only suffered some skin trauma. Since the girls drank and smoked marijuana, Mike did nothing, and the police could only think it was a traffic accident and then let Mike go.
After some time, Mike recovered. At this time, another group of girls drove out.
This group of women are also quite good at playing along the way, climbing the roof of a car or something is completely out of the question.
Of course, Mike on the other side also had his eyes on them early.
This time Mike chose to strike from behind.
However, after chasing the collision all the way, Mike's car instead fell into the nest first.
A few girls are not easy to mess with, and taking out a gun is a fierce shot.
Mike, who was shot, had to flee into the wilderness, but the girls chased after him and finally took revenge.
In the end, this absurd story ends with the girls beating Mike.
The "Planet of Horrors" and "King Kong Not Bad" introduced by the evil lord today are actually only the main parts of "The Execution Chamber", not all of them.
In order to perfectly restore the "Grindhouse" of that year, the whole movie is also interspersed with some pseudo-trailers.
These pseudo-trailers are also from everyone's hands, and they are quite exciting, and people are looking forward to them being made into films.
