HAIL! (72) aka Hail to the Chief. This tripped-out political satire made in the heyday of the Nixon Administration has a lot of radical ideas and bizarre eye candy. In this surreal vision, the President is a sadistic, power-mad maniac who drowns little white mice in a fish bowl (times never change, do they?) and plans to send all hippies and dissidents to concentration camps. It’s up to a wimpy undersecretary (Richard B. Shull, of TV’s Holmes and Yo-Yo) with a wooden leg to save the day with a clandestine bombing of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This very thin storyline serves as but a jumping-off point for a series of strange vignettes, such as a massacre of a hippie commune, a fascist fashion show with Nazi regalia ("Ooh, I like those boots!"), a brain washing seminar with scantily clad vixens in sheer tunics and the "Yellow Rose of Texas" played by a trio of hand-farting musicians! Allegedly banned at the time of its release, it’s a safe bet that this comedy about political assassination, genocide and terrorist acts will never be appreciated by the mainstream!

THE HAPPENING (67) It’s Generation Gap-a-Go-Go when four bored hipsters (Michael Parks, George Maharis, Robert Walker Jr. and an impossibly young Faye Dunaway) decide to make some bread by kidnapping mobbed up and middle-aged restaurateur Anthony Quinn. Bad news: It turns out no one, not even his wife, is willing to pay to get the mighty Quinn back. This revelation pisses Ton’ off to no end and he quickly takes charge of his own abduction and shows these young whippersnappers how things are done OG style. Hollywood all the way but still a lot of fun. Not to mention that groovy title song by the Supremes. Order

HARDBODIES (84) Three troll-like middle-aged men enlist the services of a beach bum in order to score with all the bikini babes on the West Coast. Renting out a plush beachside pad, the men make their move and the girls fall into the groove. This pic features a happening 1980’s rock score along with the expected army of boobs, butts and feathered hair on the beach, on the boardwalk and in the bedroom. Will true love win out in the end? I dunno. Whenever I go to the beach, I’m harassed by homeless bums, screaming families with kids, defecating dogs and obese people in thongs. The Magic of Hollywood … (review by Greg Goodsell) Order

HARD TARGET DIRECTOR'S CUT (93) Rare timecoded director's cut / test screening print of John Woo's first American feature runs over TWENTY MINUTES longer than the final release! See how it was supposed to look before a theater full of pencil necks put their two cents in! Letterboxed and includes trailer. Order

HARRY IN YOUR POCKET (73) Or just glad to see me? Rare, caper film starring James Coburn, Walter Pidgeon, Michael Sarrazin, and Trish Van Devere as a band of high rolling pickpockets. So thorough and detailed in its depiction of this light fingered trade that it just may give you a new career outlook! Order

HELLZAPOPPIN’ (41) “AT LAST IT'S ON THE SCREEN! Greater than the Stage Show!” Our favorite team of wacky vaudevillians, Ole Olsen and Chick Johnson, concoct another batch of chaotic film-within-a-film absurdity and sticky situations to get themselves out of. Sight gags, swing dances, and all that jazz!! For more classic Olsen & Johnson buffoonery, check out Crazy House, a Shocking Videos exclusive! (review by Scott Wallis) Order
