Nazi Parody
As a fan of referential humor, I'm surprised I never caught on to this before. Indeed, I've even praised Rob Zombie's fake trailer in Grindhouse (for Werewolf Women of the S.S.) on several occassions without even realizing how closely he was parodying the genre. Then, while perusing some random list (on lists of bests), I found out about Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Wow. Talk about your similarities. Of course, Ilsa is not actually a werewolf (the "She Wolf" of the title appears to be metaphorical), but still. I guess I had a vague idea that Nazi exploitation films existed and that that is what Zombie was parodying, I just didn't realize that there were some that were so closely related to Zombie's trailer (which is still great, by the way - all the trailers in Grindhouse owe a great debt to the films they parody). I've added Ilsa to my Netflix queue, but I doubt I'll ever get to it. Some things are perhaps best left unexplored. (In typical Kaedrin fashion, now that I've said I won't, I'll probably run a series of Nazi Exploitation posts next month detailing my descent into grindhouse glory.)

There are actually a whole series of Ilsa exploitation films. They're... unpleasant. They're generally classified as sexploitation and involve a lot of torture, physical abuse, nudity and sex. From what I can remember, Ilsa mostly spends a lot of time castrating people or torturing them. There are four films in the series, I think- She Wolf, Wicked Warden, Harem Keeper, and Tigress of Siberia.

Boy, are YOU going to get a lot of weird Google search hits now!

Roy, Yeah, I read some descriptions of the She Wolf one and it didn't sound too fun. "Tigress of Sibera" that's a good one. And people complain about the torture porn movies of today:P

Steven, I guess I will, but it's not like that is a new thing for me (or probably anyone else who's had a website/blogged as long as I have:)
