Ahhhhhh...those were the days!
26 February 2005
We Italians have made lots of things in our history but the funniest of them all were our cheap exploitation movies...when we took whatever genre was all the rage in the international arenas and took it to extremes: monster movies, violent westerns, tough cop movies, zombie horrors, 'giallo' horrors, cannibal movies, sexploitation flicks. I find almost all reviews listed here to be kind and to the point so I am writing this one merely to add a colorful detail that will delight you monster buffs out there. Have you ever wondered what 'caltiki' was made up of? Rubber? Latex? Plastic? Paper-mache? No...no...no! 'It came from a butcher's shop'-Caltiki was nothing else but TRIPPA! That is, entrails...which have a place of prominence in many a tasteful recipe of "poor man's" Italian cuisine. The legend says that after days of shooting under intense lights the results were less than pleasant to the olfactory sense. MOVIES...THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF...;-DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
