Pantaleón y las Visitadoras aka Captain Pantoja and the Special Service - F. J. Lombardi - Peru - (2000)



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190611/

Plot by Imdb:"The Peruvian army captain Pantaleon Pantoja, a very serious and efficient officer, is chosen by his superiors to set up a special service of 'visitors' to satisfy the sexual needs of the soldiers posted on remote jungle outposts. At first unhappy about this assignment, he nonetheless puts his remarkable organizational skills in action and in a short time has his 'unit' running smoothly. In the home front things get complicated though; his wife dislikes his long hours and the secrecy surrounding his work, and he, despite being a dedicated husband, feels tempted by one of his "subordinates""

Second adaptation from Mario Vargas Llosa's novel, this very enjoyable and ironic comedy has enough weirdness and enough flesh to be included in my film selection. Hedonistic and moist (mmmm), the erotism rests essentially on the shoulders (and else) of Angie Cepeda, just stunningly hot !!!
Watching the "army"of hookers doing gymnastic exercices at their "base" is just too nice to miss. 
The attacks against the army and general establishment are always appreciated but the movie isn't one-sided, as the main vilain is a pimp looking radio DJ, who basically act as a corrupted bastard. The end of the movie is suprisingly touching and left you in a nostalgic mood. Great little movie, adapted from a great novel.
If every army had "visitadoras", we'll all be in the army. And I'll be "el general de la vistadoras" !

Electric Dragon 80.000 V - Sogo Ishii - Japan - (2001)



Plot by Imdb: "A young boy gets jolted with electricity as he's climbing a tall cable pylon. As he gets older, he experiences intense fits of violence in which bolts of electricity burst from his fists. Elsewhere in Tokyo, there is an electronics wizard who also happens to be a vigilante with a taste for electric weapons. When the pair catch each others attention, the result is a battle that will light up the city."

Very nice not so short movie (55 minutes)  by Sogo Ishii, the Japanese "post-punk" director. Beautiful black and white with tons of strange shots (specially the lizard POV) and a crazy story for a nice visually extreme final. It's the visual version of Industrial / Noise music. All done with the complicity of  Tadanobu Asano. In its extreme way, ED80V reminds of "Tetsuo" from Tsukamoto, in its experimental side but it has a much more wilder and immature feel that makes me say that this is real punk cinema: young, energetic, insolent, immature and violent. Other  Sogo Ichii movies are interesting: "Burst city", "August in the water" and others, but if you want his real masterpiece, in my humble opinion, you'll have to see "Gojoe". And if you find this short too much to handle, you're probably reading the wrong blog.

"Shaw Bros" Bizarre Flix 3/3 - Mo aka The Boxer's Omen - Chih-Hung Kuei - HK - (1983)




Plot from Imdb:"The plot is about a Hong Kong gangster discovering a supernatural connection with a deceased Thai monk after the monk's spirit saves him from an ambush from a rival gang. Ignoring the spirit's pleas, the gangster goes home to his beautiful (and frequently naked) girlfriend. The gangster then goes to Thailand to challenge a cheating Thai kickboxer who gravely hurt his best friend in a match. After disgorging a live Moray eel in a hotel, the gangster decides that it's a good time to find the temple that the monk resided in. The gangster learns that he was a twin brother to the dead monk in a previous life and therefore their lives are forever intertwined! The monk was about to achieve immortality but a crazy Thai dark warlock poisoned his eyes with spiders and the monk died. The gangster's life is at risk if he can't defeat the warlock and break the poison spider spell."

Holly motherfucking sheeeeeee--aaaaaat ! This movie is one mesmerizing visual experience and definitively the best thing that came out of this "Shaw Bros. bizarre flix" week. Shot in Thailand, HK and Katmandou, from the director of "Killer Snakes" and "Bamboo, House of dolls" comes this Buddhist tale, mixed with black magic and Thai boxing. One have to recognize that mixing exploitative subjects together with spiritual paraphernalia is risky at best. Not everybody can pull out movies that stays interesting, like the ones from Alejandro Jodorowski. In this case; it works perfectly, as the cheesy, funny,  disgusting, bizarre aspect of the magic is perfectly balanced with a non stopping action storyline and an amazing art direction, that creates  some of the nicest flashy images I've seen in a while. Did I mentioned it has crocodile cranium animated, bat's sacrifice, snakes blood, human cranium filed with a dirty unknown mix, birth of a female demon from the body of a crocodile, an immortal Buddhist monk held in a jar, ridiculous Thai boxing matches with no else than Bolo Yeung (unforgettable bad  guy from "Bloodsport"), lasers of goodness coming out of Monks, etc., etc... Enough talking, you HAVE to watch that movie, it's like a giant lollipop for a deepthroating artist: it's unmissable and highly desirable!

MASTERPIECE !
