This saucy double-bill pushed the barriers of Sixties' censorship when naked girls could only be shown if they were extolling the 'healthy lifestyle' of naturism! Nudes of the World sees a group of international beauty queens turn an English stately home into a nudist camp, with unexpected results! The movie broke box office records in London in 1961. The sequel, Take Off Your Clothes and Live, follows a group of pretty English girls escaping to the French Riviera, where they discover the joys of stripping off in the sunshine! Unseen for 50 years, both films are making their debut on DVD.
A showcase for the most rare and popular form of Kung Fu the Monkey style. The evil Snake Fist Master is searching for Ming Loyalists and only the amazing Monkey Fighters can stop him!
Originally made in 1983, Shaolin vs Lama is an example of the kung fu movie at its most cultish. The story is largely unimportant but concerns Yu Ting and his search for a kung fu master, a search that leads him into conflict with the Flying Eagle gang and their leader, Golden Wheel Lama. This is as far as it goes plotwise, not that that really matters. The focus of the film is, of course, the fight sequences and breathtaking they are too, though the whole film is given unmistakable aura of campness by its comical English dubbing. Still, it would be churlish to argue with the glowing recommendation of the Wu Tang Clan's Rza (a man who knows his kung fu stuff) of Shaolin vs Lama as one of the giants of the genre. On the DVD: filmed in a rather basic manner, Shaolin vs Lama is a colourful visual experience but not one that particularly shines on DVD. The 2.0 Dolby Digital sound gives the fight sequences an added bite but, as is so often the case, the potential of the format is frustratingly underused. There is no attempt to provide any sort of background to the film or the kung fu genre in general, instead leaving us with scene selection and the original theatrical trailer. --Phil Udell
