A look back at the outdated styles, trends, people and kitch that defined past generations. Think “Fat Laces” and pinning your pants.

Faster Pussycat 1989

The name of the band, “Faster Pussycat,” is derived from the Russ Meyer film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.

This is probably their most notable song. Sad tune actually. Beautiful in a hair metal kind of way.

Buy House of Pain here.

Is This the Worst Death Scene in Movie History?

Is This the Worst Death Scene in Movie History?

I am not an expert on foreign films (or any movies for that matter), but this might be the worst acting I have ever seen for a death scene. Might be the worst acting I have ever seen period. And that includes ALL Nicolas Cage movies.

The 1974 film from Turkey is called ‘Kareteci Kiz’ (Karate Girl) and it follows the story of a young girl who becomes a policewoman and seeks revenge against criminals who murdered her father and husband.

In this clip, the protagonist uses poorly choreographed karate and an obvious prop gun to take down a baddie with a ‘stache that would give Tom Selleck a boner.

Time to push this one to the top of the Netflix queue.
