This film was not one I had caught, a classic period kung-fu film, directed by the legendary Woo-ping Yuen. I, like a lot of his fans, know his more modern films like Rumble In The Bronx, First Strike, Project A, and Supercop. I am a pretty significant Jackie Chan fan, or I at least thought I was until I actually spent the time to read through his filmography. Snake in Eagles Shadow So it is probably anti-climactic to say this on the first film of the fest… but this was my favorite movie of the fest. There was also delicious coffee from Grindcore House and awesome ice cream from my current employer, LITTLE BABY’S ICE CREAM. SAD TROMBONE!! While I yet again didn’t win anything, it was still a great time, fun was had, and the people cheered. I have never won save one time, when I won a poster… which I already owned. From free tickets to local events, to free films, to posters both classic and more recent, the prizes never fail to inspire great envy in me. ![]() ![]() I have to say, each year the prizes at both fests improve so greatly that it is almost worth the price of admission just for a chance to win a prize. After the announcements, delivered with their usual silly undertones, was the prize giveaway. There were announcements of upcoming events like the Starman/Escape From New York double feature as well as the Star Trek 3/Dune double feature and even a night dedicated to Kaiju films and shows. Instead, the most challenging film of the day may also have been the most interesting (We will get to that below).Īs usual, the event started off with no lack of fanfare. Not that difficult is not good, but there were no films this year that grossed me out totally. In fact, though the films contained as much nudity and sexual violence as any year, the overall tone of this year’s fest felt a lot more palatable. This year was a similarly eclectic mix, though perhaps a slightly more accessible selection. The Ex-Fest has always been a strange mix of films: some obscure, some classic, some dark, some fun, some completely disturbing. ![]() You can check out my review of last year’s fest here, where I also give some history of not only the fest but also of Exhumed Films as a whole. Exhumed Films has been doing the Ex-Fest for four years, inviting their many fans and devotees to a twelve-hour orgy of exploitation films. Ex-Fest 2014 was yet another explosion of sex and violence and fun.
