Poster Art: Every Which Way But Loose

From Martin Klasch

I've been editing a less than perfect copy of Bob Peak's* poster for "Every Which Way But Loose" **. I have basically cut this section out, redrawing parts of it, tidying it up and added a bit of shadow hopefully creating a little more 3D effect. I'm no pro so I'm reasonably happy with the result considering what I had to work with. It's good enough to print on a t-shirt for a friend (a big Clint fan) - this which was my objective all along.

** Lousy movie if I recall correctly.

Swedish Actresses: Babette Bardot


Babette Bardot

"The bonafide star of MONDO TOPLESS is Babette Bardot, a Swedish-French stripper who claimed she was a distant cousin of Babette Bardot and would star as...er...Babette, the scene-stealing French harlot in COMMON LAW CABIN! The mysterious blonde bombshell reportedly also had an affair with Russ in-between films! She mangles the English language like nobody's business, but is never less than captivating in both films. You simply cannot take your eyes off this giantess with the eye-popping figure, and unfortunately she made only one other film (I, MARQUIS DE SADE) before disappearing off the face of the earth." - Mondo Topless review at www.dvddrive-in.com

Whether she really was Swedish is kind of beside the point? Whatever that is.

Dolph Lundgren får Oscar?

Kommer den svenske skådespelaren Dolph Lundgren till slut få en Oscar för sin gärning på den vita duken? Kommer vi snart att, på Gert Fylkingskt manér, kunna ropa "Äntligen!!"?



Ett upprop för att förmå akademien att förära honom en statyett vid 2005 års utdelning pågår.

Va? Har det varit!? Fick han ingen?!

Det är skandal! Se bara så produktiv karln är. Studera gärna de fantastiskt effektiva och slagkraftiga filmtitlarna är. Ännu bättre - smaka på hans rollfigurers namn. He-man, Ivan Drago är ju klassiska men annars är det mest korthugget manliga och helylleamerikanska kioskdeckarnamn som Frank Castle, Jack Caine, Nick Preston och Sam Decker. Lysande.
