Machete Maidens Unleashed!

Machete Maidens Unleashed! (2010) — watch online on iFILM — is an Australian documentary directed by Mark Hartley about the low-budget exploitation films produced in the Philippines during the final decades of the twentieth century.

For American B-movie producers, the Philippines was a dream location: no union rules, no censors, and landscapes that could double for any jungle war or prison camp the script required. Roger Corman, Pam Grier, John Landis, Joe Dante, and Sid Haig all appear, recounting those years with cheerful candor. A brisk film history that treats its subject seriously without pretending it was high art. Stream Machete Maidens Unleashed! online on iFILM.
