Zombie (aka Zombi 2)
An opening shot of a man shooting a gun at what appears to be a body tied up in a canvas bag and a single line of dialog - "The boat can leave now, tell the crew" is the only clue Lucio Fulci provides you before the title of Zombie. Next we know, that boat is sailing aimlessly into the New York harbor, where some Coast Guard officers find what's left of the crew - a lone decaying zombie - and it's got a hankerin' for some fresh flesh.
Trailer Tuesday: Zombi 2
This week, we take a look at the trailer for Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2
While this movie is known in the states as "Zombie", the Italian title is Zombi 2 (the original "Zombi" is actually George Romero's Dawn of the Dead - go figure). In this film, a mysterious boat floats into the New York Harbor. The harbor patrol believes the boat to abandoned, but there's actually a zombie aboard who attacks the the patrolmen. This leads to an investigation to figure out where the boat and the zombie came from.
We'll be taking a look at Zombi 2 and it's sequels, of which there are 3, in the coming weeks so stay tuned for our reviews.
Disco Godfather

When his nephew Bucky gets mixed up in some bad business, Tucker takes it upon himself to rid the streets of that bad stuff!
Tough Guys (1974)
A Priest and an Ex-Cop walk into a bar... Heard that one before? You may have heard that one before, but you probably haven't seen it before. Tough Guys is exactly that joke, and you'd be surprised how good they work together - and that priest can throw one hell of a slap.
