Film Synopsis
42nd Street Forever, Volume 3: Exploitation Explosion (2008) compiles dozens of theatrical previews originally created to entice audiences into grindhouses, drive-ins, and neighborhood theaters during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As trailers for horror films, action spectacles, women-in-prison features, biker movies, sexploitation pictures, and other exploitation genres unfold in rapid succession, the collection offers a vivid snapshot of the sensational marketing techniques used to attract audiences during the era. This documentary compilation examines exploitation cinema through its original promotional material, as one outrageous attraction follows another, with cult film history, theatrical advertising, and genre excess.
