I love exploitation films, not because of the random naked women in every other scene or a lesbian scene that they just HAD to put in there...but because they're hilarious. If some of them were marketed as comedy films, they'd get more profit.
I had the idea, a crazy idea an idea that would never work, to search for a way to contact Reb Brown for an interview, why Reb Brown? Well, my idea of the ultimate Exploitation movie consists of Reb Brown and Pierre Kirby. Pairing the two up in an actionsploitation movie. Think about it! That could have changed their lives forever (Pierre wouldn't be dead for one)
Reb might make it mainstream, he may have been the terminator, and he and Pierre Kirby could have met up once again in terminator 2 with Kirby as the T-1000 (That would so be my favourite film if that was real...)
I found ways of contacting Reb, oh sure, but none that would work. First I discovered Reb is, or was...not sure but they still state of some film production sight (Sundance...sunflower...sunseed, something to do with the sun is what they're calling they're "productions") and Reb is/was the vice president of editing and marketing...helping make such classics as "Pinnochio in the hood"...which will be coming to a video store near you, never.
It just so happened this site allowed me to email Reb, except the email was no longer valid. I then discovered that one site had his address so people could send pictures, posters, whatnot for autographs. However, not wanting to seem like a stalker and the fact that this site had not been updated since 2006 I decided to go against that.
So here I am, left without a Reb Brown to interview or a Pierre Kirby to even look for, I guess the only way my exploitaiton dreams will ever be sated...is to pull a Godfrey Ho!
That's right, cut and paste editing. Reb finds himself stuck in a terrorist plot he didn't want to be a part of, meanwhile in movie B, Pierre is for some reason dressed like a ninja because the very same terrorist organisation has found their way to Japan, the two meet at the end to kick terrorist butt and they walk away in the sunset...awww yeah
Reb Brown...if you ever read this...if you ever come across this...make these dreams come true...it's your obligation as an actor. Relive your roots, Bruno Mattei would want it that way (I'm just spouting off names to you people who have no idea what I'm talking about...)
God Bless Captain America
