The Bushwhacker / The Ravager – Movie Review:

The debut release from Mondo Macabro’s American Arcana line (a sublabel dedicated to only the finest in ‘U.S. trash and genre films’ offers up a pair of seventies shockers unearthed from the vaults of the mighty Something Weird Video.

The Bushwhacker:

First up, Dan (Harvey Shain, of The Lustful Turk and The Secret Sex Lives Of Romeo And Juliet, credited as Forman Shane) is piloting his plane with a few hot chicks on board. Those hot chicks are Marueen (Barbara Kline of Henry’s Night In, credited as Acee Decee), Dawn (Merci Montello, of Erika’s Hot Summer and Space-Thing, credited as Merci Mee), and Sherry (played by… Rita Roundheels). Dan’s a lousy pilot and soon enough, the plan crashes in the middle of the vast wilds of California – but was it shot down by a crazy hermit? They’re completely unaware that this territory belongs to The Bushwhacker (Dan Martin, the director of The Big Snatch, credited as Ronny Runningboard)!

Who is The Bushwhacker? He’s ...
