BORN TO RAISE HELL

"Open the fuckin' mouth, you sonuvabitch. C'mon, fucker!"

Director: Roger Earl (1975)

Starring: Val Martin, Steve Richards, John Detour, Eric Lansing, Tiger John, David Andrews, and Quave Dalton

Enjoy the clip, and Yes, yes, since I have two copies of this fantastic video, I am selling one on eBay. I love cool title sequences (hell, Alfred Hitchcock got his start that way), and this one has that batman-theme like guitar, the posed bodies with title cards (check out Quave Dalton's!) and the easy segueing into the movie's action. I'm fairly sure I've shown this clip before, but this film seems to go in and out of print on VHS, and I am selling one of my copies. I first got mine many years ago, online (eBay), when I couldn't find it anywhere; then a TomofFinland site offered it, as well as other Roger Earl films known as the "Dungeons of Europe" series - now it's gone. Bijou Video had it for awhile, now they show a listing, but both DVD and VHS "no longer available" - oh well. So, here's hoping someone wants my extra copy, one re-released sometime in the 1980's or 1990's by LIVE VIDEO (that's Christopher
Rage's video company; check out 1980's Mandates, Honchos, etc for ads for various videos he sold via mail order). Val Martin is THE ORIGINAL daddy - predating Mr. Richard Locke by a few years (Locke became known as a daddy before he even hit 40 - egads!) I digress, you're used to it - Enjoy the clip!
