Switchblade Flicks 5-"Snake"


I wonder if they'll make a third one of these judging by the Kurt in Death Proof  he don't look out of shape , might still be posssible.

Great Englishmen 6-Steve Coogan


A post Inspired by last Fridays appearence on Newsnight ..Coogans a national treasure unlike that scummy " Screws of the World" as my Dad used to call it  (which has closed today)

Switchblade Flicks 4-"The Dude"


Switchblades and Link Wray Galore in this 90'S T.V movie (this is a remake .. but alot more crazier )there was a whole season of 50's/60's remakes in the early 90's by name directors wish I could track them down but this was by far my favourite

I've updated my Biker Movie Double Bill here.. both vids dissapeared but one is up on youtube but I had to omit the other movie but I've replaced it with another outlaw biker classic http://beatniksbroadcastincompany.blogspot.com/2010/09/biker-movie-double-bill_07.html

Moving on from 1958 to 1963,The gangs in this movie all have there individual look , much like how it is in the Warriors (which came out in the same year)Nice to see a pre Raiders Karen Allen

Switchblade Flicks 2-Deuces Wild

New York Street gang film set in the late 50's... title reminded me of Link Wray should of used his music really (Every film about this subject should have his music on the soundtrack)

Link


Is there anybody that typifies all the great things about America more than Link Wray ? Especially for the 4th of July a post all about him (still feel I've left out some major tunes here maybe I'll do another post someday)
Glad I got to see Link in the 90's he played a kickass show (twice as he repeated his whole set in the encore)

Switchblade Flicks 1"Can You Dig it?"

I finally picked up a copy of The Warriors on ps2 yesterday , six years after it was released , as I've heard some very good things about the game .That should  fill in the void whilst waiting for the next GTA .. I may feature a few more gang related flicks here over the week.
From what I read Rockstar were going to make a game about Mods and Rockers sadly the game was cancelled (That would of been something different )The ultimate gang fight game though would have to be A Clockwork Orange that would seriously rock my world.
