Firecracker  (1981)

Just about everything you could want in a Martial Arts exploitation Drive-In Classic! Beautiful blond Jillian Kesner plays martial arts expert Susanne Carter who heads off to the Philippines in search of her missing sister. Once there she uncovers a secret drug cartel run by an evil druglord who runs illegal to-the-death fight matches in a nightclub! As she works undercover, she falls for the second in command, who turns out to be directly responsible for her sister's death! Will she get revenge and take out a ton of crooks along the way? You bet! With topless kung fu as her main weapon, you get death by electric saw blade to the head and some serious gory eye gouging! Tons of action, violence and sex to keep this one moving along at a brisk and entertaining pace! Better than your usual fight choreography when compared to other Philippine martial art flicks and some decent acting make this a rare gem indeed! Make sure and see FIRECRACKER uncut (it was banned entirely in Iceland!).

Paranoia  (1969)

Helen, after recovering from a near fatal car crash that took place during a professional race, discovers she is broke. She decides to accept an invitation to stay at her ex-husband's (who she once tried to murder in response to his indiscreet infidelities) extravagant villa and learns that it was not Maurice who sent the invitation, but his new wife, Constance. Constance wants to recruit Helen to assist in her diabolical plot to murder Maurice, but things go wrong and Constance ends up getting killed instead! Her daughter arrives shortly after and knows something isn’t quite right with the story of her Mother’s accidental death. All this is only the beginning. A brilliant giallo that Digital Conquest offers in a very nice English language print for all you Lenzi/Baker fans that just can’t get enough! We can’t say as we blame you either.
