If the gore epics, women-in-prison films, and shockumentaries showcased within their mildewed walls didn't live up to their outrageous billing, the audience shouted, threw food, and even vandalized the theaters. For dedicated lovers of extreme cinema, buying a movie ticket on the Deuce meant putting your life on the line. \u003cbr\u003e Authors Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford came to know those grindhouses better than anyone else, and although the theaters were gone by the mid-1980s, the films remained. In \u003ci\u003eSleazoid Express, \u003c\/i\u003e Landis and Clifford reproduce what no home video can -- the experience of watching an exploitation film in its original fight-for-your-life Deuce setting. Both a travelogue of the infamous grindhouses of yore and a comprehensive overview of the sleaze canon, Sleazoid Express offers detailed reviews of landmark exploitation classics and paints intimate portraits of directors whose notorious creations played the back end of triple bills for years on end. With wit, intelligence, and an unflinching eye, Landis and Clifford offer the definitive document of cinema's most intense and shocking moments as they came to life at a legendary place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Landis, Michelle Clifford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743215834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743215831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.83h x 6.98w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2002 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2002 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 641","brand":"Bill Landis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045917454591,"sku":"9780743215831","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dca4de14-1559-4955-ba68-bb5883775f27.jpg?v=1684981537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sleazoid-express-bill-landis-9780743215831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
