<strong>Night DOG RACING</strong> - <em>Enjoy The Lickety-Split Action Of Greyhound Racing</em><Br /><Br />
When was the last time you saw the phrase "Lickety-Split" in an ad? Some ad agency needs to bring that term back. I dig it.<Br /><Br />

<strong>The Loved One</strong> (1965) - <em>The Motion Picture With Something To Offend Everyone</em><Br /><Br />
Kudos to the <strong>Camelback Mall</strong> (what a strange name) for paring this film with a short (<strong>Island Of Surprises</strong>). I really wish someone (other than just Pixar) would call for the resurrection of pre-feature short films.<Br /><Br />

<strong>Battle of the Bulge</strong> (1965) - <em>Bigger Than How The West Was Won</em><Br /><Br />
That's a strange comparison they make at the top of this admat. The only connection I see between the two films is Henry Fonda. Am I missing something?<Br /><Br />
Also, the "<em>SUPER CINERAMA turns the screen into the mightiest battleground ever</em>" and "<em>Highly Recommended For Children</em>" are true relics of a missed (by me, at least) advertising and film exhibition bygone age.<Br /><Br />

<strong>Curse of the Fly</strong> (1965) & <strong>Devils of Darkness</strong> (1965)<Br /><Br />
There's plenty of boring-looking family-friendly options on this <strong>Nace Theaters</strong> multi-theater bill - I had no idea Elvis was in a movie called <strong>Tickle Me</strong> (1965)... how outstandingly ridiculous - but I'd be excited about checking out the <strong>Phoenix Drive In</strong>'s <em>$1 Per Car</em> double feature of <strong>Curse of the Fly</strong> & <strong>Devils of Darkness</strong>. Here's the trailers:<Br /><Br />

<strong>Black Silk</strong> (19??) & <strong>Warm Nights and Warm Pleasures</strong> (1964)<Br /><Br />
The "Notice" that <strong>Continental</strong> placed on this admat is the type of personal touch that I live for: "<em>They said it couldn't be done, but The CONTINENTAL did it. Two of the most adult films ever produced... Now on the same program.</em>"<Br /><Br />
Also, I'd love to get a t-shirt with that outstanding triple-C <strong>Continental</strong> theater logo.<Br /><Br />

<strong>The Man From Hong Kong</strong> (1975)<br /><Br />
I love the non-rhyming poem-esque lyrics listed on this admat for Brian Trenchard-Smith's <strong>The Man From Hong Kong</strong>:<Br /><Br />
<center><em>Provoke Him At Your Peril,<Br />
He's The Man With The Power,<Br />
The Master Of Pleasure and Pain<Br />
Nobody's Safe From...<Br />
The Man From Hong Kong</em></center><Br /><Br />
Very glad to see that BTS love extended all the way to Jamaica. <strong>TMFHK</strong> is one of Trenchard-Smith's very best films, and is highly recommended here at Reel Distraction. <A HREF="http://calendar.reeldistraction.com/?action=movieDetails&movieID=1623">Here's my notes</a> from when it screened at Fantastic Fest 2008 with Trenchard-Smith in attendance.<Br /><Br />

I know that I should be able to place this Sonny Chiba flick, but I'm drawing a blank and IMDB isn't helping. Anyone want to throw me a bone?<Br /><br />
