Grindhouse : cultural exchange on 42nd street, and beyond / edited by Austin Fishers and Johnny Walker New York: Bloomsbury Academic, 2016.

Source: US/UKPlace: New YorkPublisher: Bloomsbury AcademicPubDate: 2016PhysDes: 266 pages ; 25 cmSeries: Global exploitation cinemasSubject: EXPLOITATION FILMS ; BLAXPLOITATION FILMS ; HORROR FILMS ; HISTORY OF CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1960's ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1970's ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1980's ; EROTIC FILMS ; MOVEMENTS AND STYLES IN FILM HISTORY ; POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA ; CRITICISM Summary: "The pervasive image of New York's 42nd Street as a hub of sensational thrills, vice and excess, is from where “grindhouse cinema,” the focus of this volume, stemmed. It is, arguably, an image that has remained unchanged in the mind's eye of many exploitation film fans and academics alike. Whether in the pages of fanzines or scholarly works, it is often recounted how, should one have walked down this street between the 1960s and the 1980s, one would have undergone a kaleidoscopic encounter with an array of disparate “exploitation” films from all over the world that were being offered cheaply to urbanites by a swathe of vibrant movie theatres.
The contributors to Grindhouse: Cultural Exchange on 42nd Street, and Beyond consider “grindhouse cinema” from a variety of cultural and methodological positions. Some seek to deconstruct the etymology of “grindhouse” itself, add flesh to the bones of its cadaverous history, or examine the term's contemporary relevance in the context of both media production and consumerism. Others offer new inroads into hitherto unexamined examples of exploitation film history, presenting snapshots of cultural moments that many of us thought we already understood." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781628927498Contents: -- Table of Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: 42nd Street, and Beyond -- Austin Fisher and Johnny Walker -- Chapter 1 -- Grinding out the Grindhouse: Exploitation, Myth and Memory / Glenn Ward -- Chapter 2 -- Where Did We Come In?: The Economics of Unruly Audiences, Their Cinemas and Tastes, From Serial Houses to Grind Houses / Phyll Smith -- Chapter 3 -- Temporary Fleapits and Scabs' Alley:The Theatrical Dissemination of Italian Cannibal Films in Melbourne, Australia / Dean Brandum -- Chapter 4 -- Run, Angel, Run: Serial Production and the Biker Movie, 1966-72 / Peter Stanfield -- Chapter 5 -- "The Smashing, Crashing, Pileup of the Century": The Carsploitation Film / Robert J Read -- Chapter 6 -- Cars and Girls (and Burgers and Weed): Branding, Mainstreaming, and Crown International Pictures' SoCal Drive-in Movies / Richard Nowell -- Chapter 7 -- From "Sex Entertainment for the Whole Family" to Mature Pictures: I Jomfruens Tegn and Transnational Erotic Cinema / Kevin Heffernan -- Chapter 8 -- 'Bigger Than A Payphone, Smaller Than A Cadillac': Porn Stardom in Exhausted: John C Holmes The Real Story / Neil Jackson -- Chapter 9 -- From Opera House to Grindhouse (And Back Again): Ozploitation In and Beyond Australia / Alexandra Heller-Nicholas -- Chapter 10 -- Go West, Brother: the Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western / Austin Fisher -- Chapter 11 -- Red Power, White Movies: Billy Jack, Johnny Firecloud, and the Cultural Politics of the "Indiansploitation" Cycle / David Church -- Chapter 12 -- Sleazy Strip-Joints and Perverse Porn Circuses: The Remediation of Grindhouse in the Porn Productions of Jack the Zipper / Clarissa Smith -- Select Bibliography -- Contributors -- index --

Call No: 722.81(94) HARAuthor: Harris, Paul Edition: 2008Place: MelbournePublisher: Madman Entertainment Pty.

More explicit, violent and energetic than anything out of Hollywood, Aussie genre movies such as Alvin Purple, The Man From Hong Kong, Patrick, Mad Max and Turkey Shoot presented a unique take on established cinematic conventions.
In England, Italy and the grindhouses and Drive-ins of North America, audiences applauded our homegrown marauding revheads with their brutish cars; our sprnky well-stacked heroines and our stunts - unparalleled in their quality and extreme danger!
Busting with outrageous anecdotes, trivia and graphic poster art - and including isights from key cast, crew and fans - including Quentin Tarantino - this is the wild, untold story of an era when Aussie cinema got its gear off and showed the world a full-frontal explosion of boobs, pubes, tubes...and even a little kung fu! -- publisher's web siteNotes: released to promote the feature film Not Quite Hollywood; signed and deicated to AFI RC by Mark HartleyISBN: 9780980549607

Not quite Mad Max : Brian Trenchard-Smith's Dead end drive-in in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.3 p.309-320
Author: Johinke, Rebecca PhysDes: ArticleSubject: NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; DEAD END DRIVE-IN (AT, Brian Trenchard-Smith, 1986) Summary: This article suggests that Dead End Drive-In (1986), Brian Trenchard-Smith's little-known Ozploitation film, deserves reconsideration from Australasian film scholars because it offers a valuable contribution to discussions about Australian masculinity, car culture, phobic narratives and the White Australia Policy. It is argued that the drive-in as detention centre foreshadows later Australian anxieties about immigration and border protection. Clearly a phobic narrative full of white panic (Morris, 1989, 1998), it exhibits many of the anxieties about Australians and auto-immobility that Catherine Simpson (2006) discusses, and fits neatly into Tranter's (2003) discussion of cars and governance and Bode's (2006a) arguments about whiteness and Australian masculinity in crisis. -- Abstract

Ozploitation compared to what? : A challenge to contemporary Australian film studies. in Studies in Australasian Cinema (2010) vol.4 iss.1 p.9-21
Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: ArticleSubject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; GENRES. AUSTRALIA ; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (AT, Mark Hartley, 2008) Summary: Discussion of critical attention given to 'Ozploitation' films particularly after 'Not Quite Hollywood'. Martin argues suggests current focus on this repressed strain of national cinema excludes many genres and therefore provides limited insight into Australian cinema.Notes: Australian exploitation cinema of the 1970s and 1980s has swiftly become a fashionable topic for analysis, rehabilitation and celebration, especially in the wake of the popular documentary Not Quite Hollywood featuring Quentin Tarantino. Is this Australian cinema's ‘return of the repressed’, at last, in the form of tough, vulgar, anarchic genre pictures – and does this show the way forward for our national cinema? This essay questions many aspects of the ‘Ozploitation’ craze, including its exclusion of art, intellectual or experimental cinema, and its peculiar streamlining of an extremely variegated and still obfuscated national film history. In particular, I argue for a comparative approach to national film cultures – which, in this case, would compel us to ask other, more stringent questions about the ultimate value of the currently baptized Ozploitation ‘classics’. -- ABSTRACT
