Furie's epic 1973 Panavision spectacle Hit! with Billy Dee Williams (a really rare trailer with the priceless promise of "a hooker from Vassar!"), the inner city payback brutality of Gordon's War from 1973, and Ralph Nelson's sweaty racial tension melodrama from 1970, tick. Another trio explodes with Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson in Three the Hard Way from 1974, followed by Sidney J.
Don Siegel's Charley Varrick from 1973 gave Walter Matthau one of his best (and most atypical) roles in a twisty caper film for Universal, while Three Tough Guys a year later featured a funky team-up for Isaac Hayes, Fred Williamson, and, uh, Lino Ventura because. Peckinpah strikes again with The Getaway from 1972, and it's off to Germany for the 1972 Rolf Olsen and Lee Payant robbery classic, Black Friday. First up you get a double dose of Warren Oates with Born to Kill, a retitling of the Monte Hellman's Roger Corman-funded drive-in staple from 1974, and Sam Peckinpah's gloriously gritty and grotesque Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia from the same year.
THE DOBERMAN GANG TRAILER SERIES
After a long hiatus, the series came back with guns blazing in 2020 with Trailer Trauma V: 70s Action Attack!, which delivers exactly what it promises: over three hours of skull-cracking, bare-knuckle, rubber-burning mayhem from the Me Decade.
The strongest example running now is the Trailer Trauma series, which launched in 2015 with the first Trailer Trauma Blu-ray and continued with Trailer Trauma 2: Drive-In Monsterama in 2016, the mammoth Trailer Trauma 3: 80s Horrorthon in 2017, and Trailer Trauma 4: Television Trauma later that same year. The trailer compilation has gone in and out of vogue over the history of home video, but Blu-ray has been giving it a major shot in the arm with a slew of elusive and forgotten previews getting the HD treatment even when the disc releases of the actual films manage to ignore them.
