So, the army's out looking for a lost space capsule, and find it with the astronaut missing.... Turns out, he's soaked up a lot of radiation, lost his mind, and can kill people by touching them, and the army has to find him before he gets too radioactive....
Also, a subplot about a pair of uncommunicative scientists who caused it....
Drags at points, but also has plenty of riffable moments, with an ending that defies suspension of disbelief!!

Two brothers, a pair of '60s mods ditch their haughty hippie party at a swank hotel, head back to their mansion, where they change into their poser suits & ride out on Harleys...
The next town over, they goad a car into running one of them off the road, a ruse to get the attention of some local Hell's Angels, who invite them to ride along, trade a girl for a pack of cigarettes, & talk about their next ride.... The two brothers talk the bikers into going to Las Vegas, where they plan to trick the bikers into starting a scene outside Caesars Palace while they rob the place...
The heist goes off without a hitch, but afterwards, everything that can go wrong does....
Remastered audio, mostly the music & sound effects, witch distracts from the dialog at times...
Lots of bikers misbehaving to fill the runtime, but starts getting tense toward the end, and the director makes good use of the dessert scenery at the end....

Fairy tale characters Alice (through The Looking Glass), Snow White, Red Riding Hood & Sleeping Beauty are butt kicking girl bosses who work for A group that tries to keep fairy tale characters from destroying the world....
Magda, queen of Atlantis has followed an escaped Prince Charming to the modern world, sends fish men to destroy the city, and manages to send the girls back to fairy tale land, from which they must escape & stop Magda from marrying Prince Charming...
Pretty fast paced action comedy....
The first half feels pretty convoluted & confusing, but starts to make sense after a while...
Sorta plays out like an unsold television pilot...

And boy, what a stinker! Plot? What plot?
The Maneaters, an all female biker gang gets together for a race, & the winner gets to pick out her stud for the evening..... They go back to their pad & mayhem ensues, but the next morning, there's an issue with one of the girls wanting to go steady with one of the studs (against the rules)... Later that night, they force her to torture the boy she likes....
Then there's the matter of one of the girls completing her initiation....
At the halfway point of this movie, an all male hot-rod car gang tries to take over the abandoned flat top they use to race..... The girls kick their butts, the guys swear revenge, & some semblance of a story emerges....
The sound in this print drops out several times.... Lots of scenes of riding & love-ins to stretch out the runtime.... A plot point about one of the girls (possibly the others) living a double life as a girl next door is mentioned but never delved into....
Ends abruptly..

https://youtu.be/VQ9fXq21y1Y?si=RL6txmmXNGsQFFei
Opens with techno music, & Klaus Kinski in one of the corniest overdubbs I've ever seen in a foreign movie....
So, Kinski pulls into town with a lotta books, all of which have a gun hidden in them... A group of Mexicans with Irish surnames are expecting a government inspector, & at first assume it might be Kinski.... The inspector is supposed to be in on their plan to run people off their land & force them to sign over the deeds, but when the real inspector shows up, they kill him anyway.....
The next day, a gun fighter pulls into town to visit his brother.... Meanwhile, Kinski coerces the local judge to put a warrant on the leader of the Mexi-Irish, & convince the gunfighter to become sheriff.....
Decent action & pacing, though certain plot points are left up to the viewer to figure out.... Kinski's real motives are never fully revealed.... There's also a matter of Kinski, the gunfighter and a blonde bad guy all wear black & have the same haircut, making it hard to recognize certain characters at times.....
Also, about halfway through, the closed captions get ahead of the movie, so you might wanna turn those off.....

A group of heavyset mimes with helmets like the ones in Santa Claus Conquers The Martians are kidnapping wrestlers & other athletes, so the police call in a red suited luchador who's been taking psychic lessons from his Hindu sidekick....
He sets up a ruse to use a wrestler's sister as bait to capture one of them, but when that backfires, he announces that he's going back into the ring as a ruse to use himself as bait...
He later finds out that a Polish scientist who's now in an insane asylum is tied to it all....
Doesn't idle too much, with plenty of riffable moments, albeit, it looks to be a 4x3 print cut from 16x9, so there are plenty of times the person talking is just off screen, or even a big empty space where two characters are supposed to be having a dialogue..... But the action never happens off screen.....

So, zombies have taken over the world, and a group of survivalists live out in the desert...
One day, a couple of look-outs spot a survivor with amnesia... One of the survivalists believes he might be immune to the zombie virus, & could be the key to a cure....
Meanwhile, the crew tends to bicker a lot, & there's a subplot about a rival gang late in the movie....
Tends to borrow from a few other zombie movies I'm not going to bother with, gets pretentious at times, but it's watchable.....

Aliens give a blue skinned bodybuilder a new set of tights & send him to Earth to stop mankind from using a new superweapon... Meanwhile, an evil mastermind sends his soldiers and and a robot to steal radioactive material & kidnap a scientist.... The next day, a private eye is watching the scientist's daughter on television, so he borrows a line from Star Wars & turns into Supersonic Man & rescues her from some henchmen.....
Low budget Spanish knock off of Superman.... Got a few giggles out of it.... Most of the explosions, sets & miniature effects are respectable for a low budget movie of the time.....
