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.AMIN: THE RISE AND FALL: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-rise-and-fall-of-idi-amin-v2084/reviewBREAKHART PASS: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/breakheart-pass-v7001/reviewTHE CASE OF THE SCORPION'S TAIL: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-case-of-the-scorpions-tail-v43207/reviewDRACULA (1979): https://www.allmovie.com/movie/dracula-v14638/reviewTHE EXECUTIONER II: KARATE INFERNO: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/executioner-2-the-karate-inferno-v160359/reviewTHE HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELLS: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-house-where-evil-dwells-v23335/reviewTHE KILLER MUST KILL AGAIN: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-killer-must-kill-again-v245048/reviewKILLING MACHINE: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-killing-machine-v27330/reviewA MAN CALLED MAGNUM: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/a-man-called-magnum-v337375/reviewPRIVATE LESSONS: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/private-lessons-v39309/reviewSEX AND FURY: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/sex-and-fury-v333616/reviewSYNDICATE SADISTS: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/syndicate-sadists-v158390/reviewTo read more AMG Dirty Dozen entries, click here
