Brancaleone's Army Add to Shopping Cart

1966

Vittorio Gassman, Barbara Steele, Gian Maria Volonte, Maria Grazia Bucelli

In italian with english subtitles. Fans of Barbara Steele will want this one as she plays a haughty

rich woman who enjoys being whipped (and she has some rare brief nudity too!!)! The film

stars Vittorio Gassman as a wandering knight in search of a mission in this very bloody satire

on medievil times. Gassman is very much a reluctant hero who stumbles along until he is

entranced by Catherine Spaak as a naive innocent that he feels he must protect at all cost.

Very witty and violent. Gian Maria Volonte and maria Gracia Bucelli co-star.

nice nude scene!!) star in this offbeat action film by director Renzo Merusi. George Wang plays

a desert marauder who is tormented by an unseen phantom. After a successful raid on 4 men

in a jeep where he recovers a bunch of American money, he sees his men slaughtered and his

rifle disappear to this unseen phantom and is tortured by the mystery.Fenech shows up in

Wang's tent to see if he has the money and is promptly raped for her trouble! Martell shows up

looking for the treasure and of course he promptly meets and beds Fenech and then decides to

bring her with him as they and Wang himself all go into the Sahara in search of the treasure

(and just wait until you see what that treasure actually is!). Fenech is incredibly sexy looking in

her short dress which is of course low cut as well. I doubt this one is going to turn up on DVD

anytime soon

The King Of Ads Add to Shopping Cart

1993

What a terrific idea this tape is. Take over 80 commercials, made for European TV by some of

the greatest European filmmakers ever, and put them altogether. Like eating only one potato

chip, you can't stop after only watching one commercial. So, who are some of the directors?

How about Dario Argento, Roman Polanski, Claude Chabrol, Federico Fellini, Jean Luc Godard,

Giuseppe Tornatore, Just Jaeckin, David Lynch, Martin Scorcese and many many more!! Of

course nudity occurs and the one with Vanessa Paradis is especially scandalous.
