SAMURAI
(1945)
With Paul Fung, Luke Chan, David Chow. When you consider the era
this ultra-low budget cheapie was made, the hostile, anti-Japanese
message makes a bit more sense. An American couple's adopted Japanese
son is brainwashed by The Black Dragon Society, a secret samurai
cult. Using torture, ill-fitting suits, cardboard sets, and bad
accents, these nefarious worms attempt to conquer the U.S., burrowing
down to the marrow of democracy itself. Mind-boggling propagandaÑyour
mouth will hang open in amazement! #SP01
SECRETS OF THE NAZI CRIMINALS
(1957; aka Mein Kampf II)
A well-made and informative "atrocity" film detailing the Nazi party's
rise to power and the indictments against them at the Nuremberg
Trails: Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity.
Each indictment is graphically illustrated using rare footage. You
won't soon forget the grisly images and shocking details in this
strong attack against the evils of facism (Eric Schaefer, Exploitation
Film Historian). #5947
BEAST
OF THE EAST/OUTRAGES OF THE ORIENT (Double
Feature)
Two for the price of one: Beast of the East takes place in a peaceful
Filipino village that is ravaged by the horrors of war. Tom, an
all-American G.I., is shot down by the Japs and is rescued by a
group of freedom fighters. He falls in love with a beautiful village
girl, and there's murderous Japs on one side and wedding bells on
the other. Outrages of the Orient deals with two brothers who are
waging a war with the JapsÑand each other. One of the brothers is
captured by the enemy and forced to witness such senseless acts
as bayonet-gouging, decapitations, and the senseless slaughter of
the English language! A double-barrelled dose of preposterous propaganda!

WATERFRONT
(1944)
With John Carradine, J. Carrol Naish, Maris Wrixon. Carradine plays
a ruthless, murdering German conducting espionage near the docks;
Naish is his Nazi spy boss. A 6-day wonder from PRC. #C004
BRITISH
INTELLIGENCE (1940)
Boris Karloff, in grotesque make-up again, portrays a master Nazi
spy trying to sabotage the war effort in England. Co-starring Margaret
Lindsay, Maris Wrixon, Holmes Herbert. #K009
BLACK
DRAGONS
(1942)
Filmfax favorite Bela Lugosi stars as a Nazi plastic surgeon who
spends the entire movie tracking down and vengefully murdering a
gang of Japanese spies. One of Bela's notorious Monogram quickies.

GHOSTS
ON THE LOOSE (1943)
The
East Side Kids (headed by Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall) uncover a Nazi
spy ring (headed by Bela Lugosi) inside the cozy confines of a "haunted"
house. More low-budget fun from Monogram. #L026
ATROCITIES
OF THE ORIENT (1959)
Here's a film that really lives up to its title: It's an atrocity
and it's from the Orient. What do you do if you want to recycle
two old Filipino pictures? If you're Social Service Pictures, you
graft the best of Beasts of the East onto Outrages of the Orient
and throw in additional footage of vicious soldiers ravaging semi-naked,
nubile young women from Nightmare in Red China. The result? An Oriental
exploitation epic! Two brothers fight for the affections of a field
nurse while a female guerilla leader teams up with Captain Corregidor
to fight off the Japanese Army. A prime example of how movie exploiteers
recut, retitled and repackaged footage (Eric Schaefer, Exploitation
Film Historian). #5931
