Announcing Junesploitation 2017!

by Patrick Bromley
It's time again for the craziest 30 days of the year!

One of my favorite months of the year is June, but it has nothing to do with school letting out or big, expensive summer movies. It has everything to do with Junesploitation, the month-long celebration of exploitation and genre movies we've held on the site since 2013. At F This Movie!, we are (I am) obsessed with exploitation and love having the chance to watch and talk about a bunch of crazy movies with all of you. No joke, I've been looking forward to this month since last October ended. These days I can use having something to look forward to.
For those of you new to Junesploitation, here's how it works: each day of the month has its own theme, and you're supposed to watch a movie that ties into that theme. How you interpret the connection is entirely up to you, which means if you have no interest in exploitation or genre movies that's ok and you can still join in! If you're not into poliziotteschi movies, you can watch The French Connection or Police Academy 4: Citizen on Patrol or Miss Congeniality for "Cops!" day on June 8. If you could care less about William Girdler movies, go ahead and watch The Adventures of Milo & Otis or Hot to Trot or Seabiscuit or Operation Dumbo Drop for "Animals!" day June 11. This month is supposed to be fun -- an excuse to watch movies every day and talk about them with one another. There are no "right" movies to watch. It's participating that gets you in the spirit, not watching a bunch of cheap, violent sleaze.

 But as a fan of cheap, violent sleaze, I can't wait to dive headfirst into the month. And now more than ever before, streaming services make it easy to participate in Junesploitation. Netflix isn't a ton of help, but Amazon Prime Video has a strong library of titles and there are a number of streaming platforms devoted to just these kinds of movies: Shudder, Full Moon Streaming, Exploitation.TV (too porn-y for my tastes) and Brown Sugar are some of the big ones. And while I rarely advocate watching movies on YouTube, there's a lot of cool and obscure stuff to be found there if you're willing to look. Stay tuned for our annual Junesploitation Primer and upcoming installments of I Stream, You Stream for help on where to find some good titles.
Here's the schedule for the month. Once again, we've tried to add a few new categories in addition to retaining many old favorites. We try to change it up a little every year, for what it's worth.

1 - Aliens!
2- '80s Action!
3 - Revenge!
4 - Cars!
5 - Burtsploitation!
6 - Free Space!
7 - Slashers!
8 - Cops!
9 - Blaxploitation!
10 - Kung Fu!

16 - Westerns!
17 - Italian Horror!
18 - Code Red!
19 - Killer Kids!

25 - Teenagers!
26 - '90s Action!

Get ready.

      I can only ever hear the title "Stroker Ace" in the voice of Robert Wuhl yelling it during his Robert Wuhl's World Tour stand-up special. I am the only person on earth who has this affliction.

      Also, SO EXCITED for Junesploitation!

      Stroker Ace will always be inextricably linked for me with the song of the same name by Lovage (one of the many groups Mike Patton has been involved with).

      You are going to win Junesploitation. What a lineup! I have seen about 2/3 of them and I don't think you have a dud in the bunch. Hard Boiled is in my personal top 5, inarguably the greatest action movie ever made.

      Great picks! Truck Turner's the only crossover on my partial list but I might steal a couple more of these.

      I watched Blue Thunder a few months ago (pretty good blu-ray actually) and it was a lot of fun - uses a lot of 80s action/cop movie tropes so a nice representation of the genre/era.

    I've been diving deep into the catalogs of the various streaming services I'm signed up to (if I'm going to be signed up to Showtime for Twin Peaks I might as well see what else is on there). Overall I've already come with a ton of options for each catagory and it's gotten a little overwhelming even restricting myself to first time viewings. Right now I'm looking at giving myself a little bit more structure this year and just choosing movies with a female lead. I'll post my final list here later if I can put a good one together.

      Or just pay extra for the scream factory blu ray. It's a great release, and the movie is worth it. It's one of my all time favorites!

    I'm taking this opportunity to keep championing a ridiculous movie I discovered this February in the lead-in to the Fest, 1987's The Order of the Black Eagle. It's got everything you could ever want in a movie (and some things you didn't even know you wanted), like Nazis, ninjas, Nazi ninjas, a baboon sidekick driving a tank, an Asian Q (Fu Man-Q if you will), a daring diamond heist, a speedboat chase, a Western shootout, jungle warfare, explosions, an Orson Welles lookalike villain, and of course cryogenically frozen Hitler.

    I wholeheartedly recommend the movie to anyone who's taking part in Junesploitation, it's a nice fit for '80s Action! day or one of the free spaces. A physical copy seems hard to find, but it's available on YouTube.

      Great googly moogly, that line-up almost looks too intense. I can't imagine if the first times I'd seen those movies were all during the same month! That said, my personal advice would be to skip Tentacles and to skip Prophecy. See if you can find Food of the Gods 2 instead.
      I'm not sure what would go in Prophecy's place. They really haven't made the great killer bear movie yet, much less the great mutated killer bear movie.

      I shall respond to that, Paul, by quoting Terry Thomas's reported final words to a rude waiter on the evening of the gap-toothed actor's death:

      "Fucking cheek!"

      Thomas was in the 1973 anthology movie The Vault of Horror. Amicus made a bunch of pretty watchable scary films, any one of which would lend respectability to an F-head's Junesploitation lineup.

      I love The Beast Must Die, although it's yonks since I saw it. That's the one that stops for a minute so the viewer has time to guess who the werewolf is, if memory serves. I did not the first time I watched it, and I'm not sure I remember who it is now. Please, no spoilers. It's Ten Little Indians/The Most Dangerous Game with a horror twist. Plus, you get Peter Cushing, a young Michael Gambon, and Charles Grey. Fun on a bun.

      I've got Blacula down for blaxploitation day. If Blackenstein is readily available and not too pricey, I might have a double bill.

      I don't think I've ever seen a blaxploitation movie, so I'm pretty excited for Friday after next. There's a scene in Love at First Bite (definitely not a film in that genre; Susan Saint James is really white and George Hamilton was a brave pioneer in the orange power movement. Who could have known that would one day lead to the country having its first orange president? You have to dare to dream, people) where Dracula in his bat form flies into the home of an African-American family and they mistake him for a "black chicken." That's probably the closest I've come.

      Oh, and I've seen Jackie Brown.

      And watch out, people, you should still watch it, but Blackenstein is terrible.

      Oh god, sorry. I was inadvertently racist. When I'm racist it's usually deliberate and concerns the Jews (they control Hollywood and Wall Street, and lest we forget, they killed Jesus. Ain't no coming back from that). The clip I linked to wasn't of great quality, but I've just watched it again and, yeah, it's not a black family.

      I am a stupid, bigoted mouse.

      Seriously, though, we need to do something about these Jews. #Trump2020

    Hi! Brand new here, stumbled across the #Junesploitation hashtag on my Twitter line and, even though I'm already four days behind, I'd love to join in if I may (I'll make up the missed days). I love challenges like these. I instigated a 30-day movie challenge on a football (UK) forum of all places to a fair bit of enthusiasm, and I instigated another one at the Spaghetti Western Database last year to a stony silence! :D Ah well, can't win 'em all, eh? Still, I managed to get some of the regulars there into "SpagvemberFest": Basically, watching a spag western every day in November. We've done that for the last two years now.

    Anyway, I wanted to present you ladies and gentlemen with my list, just in case I've done something wrong so's I can make corrections. Since this is my first Junesploitation I've limited myself as far as possible to movies I own and with which I'm therefore fairly familiar. Ease myself in gently, like (the only exceptions were New Horror day and Code Red day).

    So, here goes:

    1 - Aliens! ALTERED (Sánchez, 2006)
    2- '80s Action! COMMANDO (Lester, 1985)
    3 - Revenge! DEATH SENTENCE (Lanfranchi, 1968)
    4 - Cars! THE CAR (Silverstone, 1977)
    5 - Burtsploitation! NAVAJO JOE (Corbucci, 1966)
    6 - Free Space! GODZILLA, MOTHRA & KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK (Kaneko, 2001)
    7 - Slashers! FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL Chapter (Zito, 1984)
    8 - Cops! HOT FUZZ (Wright, 2007)
    9 - Blaxploitation! COFFY (Hill, 1973)
    10 - Kung Fu! SHOGUN ASSASSIN (Houston/Misumi, 1980)
    11 - Animals! BAIT (Rendall, 2013)
