FANTASTIC MOVIE TRAILERS HD 2: YOUTUBE BOOGALOO (2016) ***

Here’s another fun trailer compilation from the folks at Montreal Film Studio.  It’s not quite as entertaining as the previous installment, if only because I was a lot more familiar with the films featured in this collection and have seen many of these trailers before.  Then again, I watch an awful lot of these things, so that criticism may not mean much to you if you just want to spend 82 minutes in the presence of some classic grindhouse and exploitation trailers.

The trailers this time around include:  Don’t Answer the Phone, Rolling Thunder, Force:  Five, Teenage Mother (which has one of the greatest taglines of all time:  “Teenage Mother means nine months of trouble!” and it remains one of my favorite trailers, even in its edited form), Black Samson, Argoman the Fantastic Superman, Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die, The Dungeonmaster, The Babysitter, Hells Angels on Wheels, Amin:  The Rise and Fall, They Call Her One Eye, Black Samurai, The Devil’s Nightmare, Golden Needles, The Undertaker and His Pals, The Pink Angels, Helga (which features a lot of man-on-the-street interviews and like Teenage Mother, promises to show the birth of a real baby), Dark Star, Deadly Blessing, The Italian Stallion, Welcome Home Brother Charles (AKA:  Soul Vengeance), Stunt Rock, Mr. Billion, the immortal trailer for the double feature of Women and Bloody Terror and Night of Bloody Horror (which offers to pay you $2000 if you die of fright while watching it), The Scaremaker, Van Nuys Blvd., Skatetown USA (a repeat trailer from the first volume), The Mutations, They Came from Beyond Space, Wicked Wicked (filmed in “Duovision”), and H.O.T.S. 

I’ve seen many of the movies showcased in this collection (as well as their trailers), so this compilation lacked a bit in the way of discovery for me.  That said, this is a solid collection of trailers (and intermission ads).  There’s a good amount of variety here (although there are a lot of Crown International titles this time out), and it’s certainly never boring, which means any fan of trailer compilations should enjoy it heartily.
