I have to applaud the utter audacity of working The Castle of Fu Manchu into one of these.

Itās akin to sticking it into a DVD bundle with two other, much more popular movies.
Youāre going to buy this, and youāre going to LIKE IT!

Trying to figure out which 6 would be the hardest to watch as a set was tougher than I expected. Might need to swap in one of the biker movies.

If weāre going the biker movie route, weād have to go The Sidehackers, I think. The movie just has this aura of unpleasantness about it.
Outside of those? Hmmmā¦ Invasion USA strikes me as a real headcracker.

The Skydivers is incompetent and murky as all hell, but itās so damn weird that it almost borders on the zany outside of the murderousness and crippling depression. That Industrial Arts short is a relief, too.
The Beast of Yucca Flats has lots of pain but also has that mesmerizing sense of weirdness to offset that. Like the Industrial Arts short for The Skydivers, the two shorts here also do a great deal to ease any hurting.
Red Zone Cuba, though, is like a cosmic singularity from which no light could possibly emerge. Even with the Knee Test in the Speech short, it still packs a hell of a wallop. Easily the most hurtful of the Coleman Francis troika.

The dance party scene redeems the movie, imo.

They riff during that scene āItās turned into a John Waters movieā, and that part of the movie really has that flavor.

That riff was so utterly dead-on, and bless them forever for crafting that.

Funny and dead-on, but also kind of a State Park riff.

It wonāt be a vault pick for August, but we do have that tribute screening of Pumaman on Friday.

So weāve got Pumaman and Batwoman this month, which would suggest a superhero theme.
Wild World of Batwoman
Prince of Space (has that already been a Vault Pick?)
Samson Vs the Vampire Women
A Hercules movie
Angelās Revenge (Iām reaching here)
Riding with Death (it has Turkey Volume Guessing Man)
Operation Double 007 (James Bondā¦ ās brother is kind of a superhero, right?)

Another idea
The Lost Continent (Caesar Romero)
Zombie Nightmare (Adam West)
SST Death Flight (Burgess Meredith, unlikely since itās KTMA)
The Mole People (Alan Napier)
Space Travelers (itās got Gene Hackman, AKA Lex Luthor. Iām reaching again)
Quest of the Delta Knights (David Warner was Ras Al Ghul in Batman the Animated series. I know this was just a Synthia Select, Iām just really reaching).

Spooky October! Similar to Supernatural summer, but less wizards and more dead things!
