Über-weird christian lowbudget gore movie from the Phillipines. Genius!

BLIND RAGE

a.k.a Det Blinda Gänget (Sweden video title)

PHILLIPINES, 1978

Starring Tony Ferrer, D'Urville Martin, Leo Fong & Fred Williamson

Directed by Efren C. Piñon

Transworld (Sweden); Fullscreen; English with swedish subtitles

Really silly, but fun, fillipino action/heist/comedy about a bunch of blind robbers (the... ahem... perfect plan: who would suspect a blind guy?). In the last five minutes Fred Williamson arrives to save the day! (even semi-stars needs to pay the rent)
It's sometimes hard to see where the intentional and unintentional comedy ends and begins, but who cares, really?

Italy, 1988

Starring Chris Ahrens, Clarissa Mendez & James Mitchum

Directed by Tonino Ricci

HMV Movies (Japan); Widescreen; English with japanese subtitles

Bizarre mixture of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rambo and some sci-fi. It's not particulary "good" as in well-made but arguably one of the more entertaining films in the deadly dull genre of italian Indiana Jones-copies. At least it's action-packed, offbeat and never gets boring. By hack director Tonino Ricci, of all people.

Italy, 1988

Starring Reb Brown, Catharine Hickland, Mel Davidson & Jim Gaines

CROSS MISSION

a.k.a Fuoco Incrociato (original title)

Italy, 1988

Starring Richard Randall, Nelson de la Rosa & Brigitte Porsche

Directed by Alfonso Brescia

Columbia (Japan); Widescreen; English with japanese subtitles

OK italo action, a little better than average (which is not saying much). What makes it a keeper is the warped scenes with the world's shortest actor Nelson de la Rosa, from Ratman, as the magic midget mascot (!) of the evil drug baron.
