Agreed on Wendy, and on that ridiculous moment with Bronson. The shadow of Nam falls heavily across many of these no-budget classics, from COMBAT SHOCK to THE EXTERMINATOR and beyond. I think some of these underground filmmakers felt a kinship with (or, in some cases, actually were) the dispossessed, curbside veterans. <br /><br />I, too, love showing this to people for the first time- I generally show it to those who I'm pretty sure will love it in advance, though!Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-89785129751991642862010-10-18T03:25:18.973-04:002010-10-18T03:25:18.973-04:00Hey I just want to say excellent review of Street ...Hey I just want to say excellent review of Street Trash. Probably one of the most fun low budget horror films ever. <br />I used to watch this movie as a kid (I'm 31 now) and I still enjoy it to this day. I had such a crush on Wendy...<br />And I might add one of the only movies TO THIS DAY that have an asian american in a normal role... No accent, martial arts, kimono, etc. <br />When I show it to friends they either love it or hate it—I'm sure you've had similar experiences. <br />Also what I take from the movie is the director was showing the horrors of war through the forgotten and damaged Vietnam vets. There are many references in the movie to Nam. <br />My personal favorite line in the movie is in the final scene where Bronson is chasing the kid through the junkyard and Wendy jumps in and tries to help. He throws her to the ground and says, mostly to himself, "I hate your ancestors!". Gets me every time.<br />-EricGunbuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435438129968979160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-74972972000032689732009-12-10T14:44:17.589-05:002009-12-10T14:44:17.589-05:00I always enjoy Vic's performances.
