Viewing Notes

This was my second film at the B-Movie Celebration and the second main reason why I attended. To see this in 35mm for my first viewing plus meet Fred Olen Ray it was another dream come true. Not only is this movie a blast but we were also treated to a live commentary by Fred. He was standing just behind me and would shout out certain factoids about the actors and scenes. So fucking great!!

Afterwards was even better as we hung out and he told stories about his career, filmmaking, and Roger Corman. The guy is a well of knowledge and information. I could listen to him all night. Fascinating to hear how he works and who does what on his production team, esp. his adult features. I gained so much respect that dude. This was really the cherry on top of my night. Just amazing.
