THE AMG DIRTY DOZEN 5/17/18: Idi Amin And Sonny Chiba Vs. Samurai Ghosts And A Sexy Maid
The latest installment of the AMG Dirty Dozen offers a smorgasbord of pop cinema diversity. You’ve got a Charles Bronson in a murder mystery, a couple of wild and woolly Sonny Chiba vehicles, a pair of gialli and an unforgettably tacky biography of the infamous Idi Amin. There’s also a sexploitation flick built around a “teenage boy is seduced” premise that couldn’t be made today but was a boxoffice hit in 1981.
Note that several of these titles have gotten full-length reviews here at Schlockmania since these AMG review were written so you can also access those later in-depth reviews by clicking on the titles of the films in question.
