From filmmaker and journalist Mike Watt comes a the long-awaited SEQUEL to the beloved Movie Outlaw collection. Brand new collection of essays focusing on another 70 "undeservedly underseen" films, such as, "Crazy Moon" starring a pre-star Keifer Sutherland; Frank Henenlotter's hilarous "Frankenhooker"; the all-star "Jane White is Sick and Twisted"; Terry Southern's "The Magic Christian", starring Peter Sellars and Ringo Starr; Peter Jackon's non-Hobbit forming "Meet the Feebles"; Michael A. Simpson's purgatory classic "Impure Thoughts"; Paul Morressey's "Spike of Bensonhurst", Richard Rush's "The Stunt Man"; Clive Barker's long-mishandled and newly revived "Night Breed"; Brian DePalma's rock operetta "Phantom of the Paradise", Will Vinton's Claymation Classic "The Adventures of Mark Twain"; the disturbing TOETAG Pictures' "The Redsin Tower"; and the late underground filmmaker Andy Copp's disturbing "The Atrocity Circle". We also slap around Disney's atrocity, "The Lone Ranger" (while simultaneously trying to redeem "The Legend of the Lone Ranger". Selecting movies from all over the world, with budgets large and small, we salute these underdogs once again!

本書は、不当に貶められた映画たちに再び光を当てる、マイク・ワットの狂おしいほどの映画愛が結実した一冊です。単なる批評集を超え、メインストリームから溢れ出した「ならず者」たちの魂を救済する、一種の聖域のような文学的重みを持っています。 著者の筆致はジャーナリスティックでありながら、極めて私的で情熱的です。既存の評価軸を飛び越え、奇作の深淵に潜む真実を抉り出すその言葉は、読者を未知なる映像体験へと誘います。映画を語る自由を再定義する、至高の導文書と言えるでしょう。
