Actiongirls Hit The Big Time: “Soldiers Of The Dead”

Let's face it: sexploitation movies get a bad rap. Sure, vintage jiggle flicks have their diehard fans, and every so often a big time director like Quentin Tarantino or a Robert Rodriguez will come along and tip their hat to the genre, but save for a DVD reissue every now and then and the occasional screening on the midnight movie circuit, they've pretty much been relegated to the sidelines of cinematic art. So we're happy to see that director and Actiongirls.com majordomo Scotty JX is giving sexploitation flicks a much needed silicone and gunpowder-infused shot in the arm with "Soldiers Of The Dead", which was reportedly shot with a five million dollar budget (all those paysite subscription must add up) and is currently being readied for theatrical release.

But don't think that all the explicit content that made Actiongirls such a porn cult favorite is going to be sacrificed once "Soldiers Of The Dead" hits the big screen:

"We however have decided to tread new water and take a step further than most dare by breaking the boundaries of nudity in a mainstream movie. Most not dare take this step afraid they lose their mainstream audience and their wide theatrical and video store distribution ... Sacrificing a wider release to give some viewers what they have been dying for half century to see. Nudity isn't just for pornos and we are here to proof it. We aren't worried about pleasing the masses. We create simply what a niche of viewers want to see.

We know what our viewers want to see too, which is why you'll find a special preview gallery from "Soldiers Of The Dead" below. The Academy might look the other way once Oscar season rolls around next year, but as far as we're concerned at least one of our nominees for Best Picture is in the bag already.
