Here's the latest episode of Fighting Femmes, Fiends, and Fanatics, this time with producer Steve Mayhem at the mike. The subject this time around: the Cirio Santiago helmed slice of Pinoy blaxploitaion cinema, Savage. Now, I haven't actually seen this particular film, so keep in mind that I'll be watching and learning right along with you!

Soooo, I guess Mr. Mayhem doesn't know that Ron O'Neal's character is named Priest and not actually "Super Fly."

Very cool video, mr Mayhem! And thanks for the heads-up in regards to my wee Filipino blog!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Jack, and I'm grateful there are blogs like yours dedicated to the wild world of free-for-all Filipino commando cinema.
