EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 18

“I understand. I really do.” Well, I DON’T!!!

A sorta-classy, quasi-chamber piece revolving around an enigmatic mind game between two strangers featuring Malcolm McDowell, bizarre dialogue, and a doozy of an ending.

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 17

“You certainly have an obsession with sex and death. Well, who doesn’t these days?” The most obscure and least seen of the Barbara Crampton/Jeffrey Combs movies, this once-lost short finds the Empire dream team tackling, what else? An H.P. Lovecraft tale which is both nightmarish and kinda kinky: "Kiss me like you used to."

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 16

"RAT BURGER!!!"

All I'll ever need is Michael Moriarty lip-syncing and gyrating to Blue Cheer's "Summertime Blues."

EMPIRE (maybe) STRIKES BACK! - Day 15

“We are people! REAL PEOPLE! Everyone else is phony, but we are REAL!!!” One of those obscure titles that I can't confirm or deny Empire distributed, this is nevertheless a punk schizophrenic mash-up of genres and tone featuring Linda Blair, Tab Hunter, AND Angel herself, Donna Wilkes!

Day 14 - EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!

"What can you tell me about your penis?" Displaying a resolute commitment and determination to being a silly, uninhibited blast, DeCoteau is in fine, even satirical form with this raucous sci-fi/comedy featuring bounteous breasts, a rockin’ heavy metal number, terrific galactic effects by future Oscar winner Greg Cannom, and of course, the consumption of cool, refreshing Shasta. (crack) Ahhhhh....

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 13 The Species of its day. “Whoevah told ya a cheap dinnah in a second-rate Itah-lian restaurant was a ticket to a girl’s bedroom...”

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 12

A punk witch tale. I hope you enjoy Satanic interpretive dance! Incomparable performances, especially from a fabulously sassy and prickly coroner who brings a Paul Lynde level of bitchiness: "It's suicide, honey!"

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 11 The Space Shuttle Sex Murders?! Now, THERE’S a prequel they shoulda made! Oh boy...we've entered the Tim Kincaid era and it's all big hair, bad acting, and sexy, sexy mayhem.

Day 9 - EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! And who could forget dear, dear rat girl? Sure, there’s been a nuclear war, acid rain makes travel impossible, and a monster's lurking about, but do you think that’s gonna stop Linnea Quigley from showering with one of her co-workers? I don’t think so!
