Forget the modern movie with the name Grindhouse on it - this is the inspiration - or at least one of the big names in this genre - Roger Corman and just some of his awesome films - transitiioning from the "Drive in" theater and "Monster Movie" of the 50s/early 60s into the "Exploitation/Grindhouse" era later in the 60s into the 70s!
Despite it's enshrinement of trashiness I give this a "Ten" for just that - it covers history of a big part of Corman's career, a movement in film history and a bit of American history - such as the US backed Marcos regime. I won't put a 'spoilers' notice because the title and description of the film tell what it is about - and it's the experience of watching that is the fun.
On that note - this movie is perhaps NSFW - W being "Wallet"... You'll want to look up and watch - and might end up purchasing - a LOT of obscure and so bad they are good films. I'm particular to the Women in Prison ones such as "Women in Cages" but I now want to look up one film about Bat-people and another with a Tattoo like midget being a super-spy...
It has lots of bits of film, interviews with the actors, scenes from the filiming, the history - it is a real fun time to watch. Only gripe is the DVD seems to force watching a ton of promos for other things the distribution company is pushing out.
