42nd Street Forever, Vol. 1

WOnderful trailers!

great job

This video has a large number of movie commercials, all of them were in sixties & the seventies. I thought that will be about great movies, but I found out that it was about movies never heard about them mostly B, C, D,... and Z movies with an awful picture,And if the person who made this video is little smart, he could put one good movie from that era on the disk with his punch of commercials to make it worth the money, So save your money, and time, and get a real movie instead of that crab.

This DVD from Synapse Films is great. 42nd Street Forever contains over two hours of grindhouse movie trailers from the 1960's and 1970's. These trailers are packed with uncensored nudity, sleaze and violence. Try not to watch them around children, religious people or sensitive people. There's trailers for Hard Candy, Matango, Thriller A Cruel Picture, Panorama Blue, A Black Veil for Lisa(starring Thunderball's Luciana Paluzzi), The Green Slime, Starcrash, Wicked Wicked and more. Wicked Wicked was a 1974 thriller told in "Duovision". It bombed and never received a home video release. This DVD is a must see for movie buffs.

When I was in high school, I discovered the Drive In cinema and the triple features. In the late 70's, I understood and watched many of the B rated trash and grindhouse film on the drive in screen. In those days, there were a large amount of trailers between the films. Sometimes watching the trailers were better than the movie itself. It's 25 years later from my drive in days, I got a copy of this DVD. I watched this dvd with an open mind. As I watched, memories of old flashed thru my mind. The trailers of many films I had seen ran on my DVD screen. Many bad as well as good film's trailer showcased the films of the 70's and its low budget drive in wonders. One would only hope some of these films would make it to DVD, so i could enjoy these trahy offerings again. If you are looking for trailers from great cinema masterpieces, DONT GET THIS! if you are looking for Disney or family movie trailers, DONT GET THIS! However If you want the previews of badly dubbed karate films (the Crippled Master), Schock Science Fiction films (The Green Slime,The Raider of Atlantis), Documentaries (Secret Africa, Shocking asia), Motorcycle Movies (The Pink Angels,Werewolves on Wheels) and misdubbed europian sex comedies (Charlie and the Hooker,Black Veil for Lisa)....THIS ONE'S FIOR YOU! So if you are a child of the 60's or the 70's, you may remember some of these films from the trailers. If You are fan of film, you may enjoy this video trip down B rated memory lane of grindhouse cinema. Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD

This is not a musical but a very bad collection of just plain junk! A terrible portrayal of ...what?what?what?what?what?what?How many more words do you want?

If you were too young to sit in a grindhouse movie theatre in Times Square back-in-the-day, (or too sensible), then you can recapture some of the seedy glory of times (square) gone by with this DVD in your own living room, with a much lower likelihood of a rat biting you or a drug addict puking on you. You get a wide variety of trailers here in a wide variety of clas-SICK genres, from stomach-churning horror shows, to lead-blastin' action flix, to soft porn epics (no chillen, please! Adults only!) Great for throwing on at a party, as long as you have a bunch of sick individuals just like yourself partying down with you. I could go into detail, mentioning all the great trailers like "They Call Her One Eye" and Fred Williamson's western "Boss N****r" But take it from me, this is a wild ride into a long-gone cinema wonderland. There was a previous DVD with this title by Ban One Productions. That company has also assembled this DVD, but never fear if you have that earlier disc. There are only about 2-3 repeats on the whole show, so it's worth buying. Get it!

There is nothing one can add to Cookieman`s review listed here - all I can say is, if you were/are a fan of late 60`s to late 70`s grindhouse films, there is no better way to spend 2 hours of your life with your clothes on. Unfortunately, each sucessive volume in this series gets weaker, but the first two are essential guilty pleasures to revel in. Amen.
