But according to the press release, the 200 films covered in Stefan Hammond's and Mike Wilkins's Sex and Zen and a Bullet in the Head are not just chop-socky. The movies tend to emphasize action, and lots of it. (Griffin, $27.50 672p ISBN 9-6 July) Hong Kong is home to the world's third largest film industry after Hollywood and Bombay.
Weldon, who invented the word ""psychotronic"" and compiled The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film, includes horror (there are 15 movie titles beginning with the word ""zombie""), science fiction, Blaxploitation, porn, spaghetti westerns and ""anything that Roger Corman had anything to do with"" in his purview. As Michael Weldon says in the foreword to his Psychotronic Video Guide: ""Unlike other movie guides, nothing is omitted because it's in bad taste."" Bad taste barely begins to cover the 3000 resolutely grade-B movies (some with grade-A aspirations and budgets) and the odd TV show included here.
