I never really got the point of those movies. Are we just watching someone die? Is there no plot? Why would someone want to watch that, real or fake?

i agee with u, just when i was a kid it was a big thing to watch,but now when i watched them i thought it was horrible to watch.

I guess i understand it from a kids point of view but that cant be their target audience so if that's the only people it works on, then thats not good at all.

that's right, but i supose theres alot of people who realy get of on that sort of stuff, it's the animal killing i hate just to use in movies.

No - there is no plot - they are documentries.

Some of them are entertaining in an exploitative way - thas a pretty good reason to watch. I thought Africa Addio was pretty good (though I'm not mad on animal killing) and The Killing of America is an excellent mondo film.

I'm not much of a fan of the newer post FOD ones. I miss the condecending narrator trying to educate us about native cultures etc.

Jacopetti & Prosperi's films are an interesting bunch (these are the 2 that Deodata was having a poke at in Cannibal Holocaust) - go knows what they were thinking when they made 'Farewell Uncle Tom'.

If anyone is interested 'The Godfathers of Mondo' is really worth watching (more so in many ways than the actual films).

Oh okay that makes sense. I've never actually watched them. I still dont really see the appeal.

Check out The Killing of AMerica and see what you think...

I will do that

killing of america sounds interesting.
