The Saint: The Loving Brothers (3.7, ITC, 1964)

"Are you suggesting -"

"Course he is."

"Why not? I'd like to shove my fist down Templar's throat and pull his guts out."

Der Ozploitation-Klassiker The Adventures of Barry McKenzie, die schamlose Saga eines jungen Australiers in Pommyland, zeigt im wesentliche biertrinkende Australier und perverse Engländer, ist gelegentlich etwas schwer zu verstehen (obwohl einige Formulierungen, die Dr. Humpries sich ausgedacht hat, es seither in angesehenste Wörterbücher geschafft haben, darauf ist er offenkundig recht stolz), enthält den ersten Filmauftritt von (damals noch) Miss Edna Everage, sorgte für einigen Mißmut und war der bis dahin erfolgreichtste Australische Film.

Da wie hier erwähnt die Abenteuer von Barry McKenzie doch recht schwer zu verstehen waren, ist deren Fortsetzung Barry McKenzie Holds His Own der erste englischsprachige Film mit englischen Untertiteln. Barrys Tante Mrs. Edna Everage wird irrtümlich für die britische Königin gehalten und nach Transsylvanien entführt, wo sie im Schloss des kommunistischen Vampirs Graf Plasma gefangengehalten wird, um den Tourismus zu förden. Selbstverständlich zieht Barry mit einer Truppe aufrechter, aber nicht nüchterner Australier und einer ausreichenden Menge Foster’s Lager-Dosen bewaffnet los, um sie zu befreien. Am Ende wird seine Tante als Dank für ihre Verdienste in der Vampir- und Kommunismusbekämpfung in den Adelsstand erhoben, und darf sich seither Dame Edna nennen.

Up North

He’d come to Northern Michigan, and the lake gulls were shrieking at him. He’d been on vacation only two days, but he sat around the cabin, springing up now and then to go to the window and back. It was too chilly to go out onto the beach. The sky looked like rumpled tinfoil and the wind was strong and cold. Lake Superior came rolling up to the beach with thundering splashes.

He would go to the…
