Exploitation filmmakers played a significant role in
revolutionizing American cinema during the 1960s and early 1970s,
churning out a string of independent Westerns, biker films,
nudie-cuties and horror flicks in record times and often on
shoestring budgets. With titles like ""Horror of the Blood
Monsters"", ""Cycle Savages"" and ""The Incredible 2-Headed
Transplant"", these films pushed the boundaries of acceptable
on-screen violence and nudity and kept the American theater
industry afloat as several major studios teetered on the brink of
financial collapse.This work tells the story of that 'other'
Hollywood through interviews with 16 directors, performers,
screenwriters, and stuntmen who helped bring these zero-budget
films to the screen against incredible odds. The interviews give
insights into exploitation filmmaking from the perspectives of
pioneering directors Al Adamson and Jack Hill, actors Jenifer
Bishop and Robert Dix, and stuntmen Gary Kent and Gary Littlejohn,
and others. The work includes more than 50 photographs, including
many rare behind-the-scenes images of the filmmakers on set.
