    Sweeney!

    ★★★

    A feature length episode of the Sweeney, with more nudity and bloodshed!

    I never really watched it when it was on telly, I was too young, but everyone knew about it. This felt like a British Polziotteschi, but the gore wasn't quite as good.

    I did quite enjoy it, as a slice of 70s British exploitation, but it also dragged a bit in the middle!

    ★★★

    Early Ealing comedy, might even be the first!

    Nice comedy crime caper about a bunch of kids working out that a criminal gang are using a kids comic to communicate!

    It's very light and enjoyable, but my favourite thing about these films is seeing London in the past!

    It is truly awful, however, it does feature a bear with a mini-gun.

    This film alone reinvigorated my love of 80s horror and it's still an absolute belter!

    I LOVE the score, the music, the cast, the film within a film, the bonkersness of it all, the gore, oh boy the gore is fantastic, the punks who just turn up, Tony, who channels his inner Mr T (he's actually even better in the second one though), the motorbike and sword combo, the helicopter and the ending, and everything else.

    To be honest 80s…
