Anyone else who loved it but thought it is SEXIST?

Nobody else thought this was one of the sexiest films ever made with overtones of racism against the homeless & some slighter overtones of homophobia? Or noone cares?

Don't get me wrong. I finally got to see this cult film I had read so much about yesterday. usually, with such a case , you might expect too much, and so you might be disappointed. Not me! I totally enjoyed STREET TRASH! It was fresher, funnier & more original than I would ever expect... It is a film to be seen and remembered for the guts and originality... but...

I read quite a lot of reviews & messageboerd stuff. Its quite normal that girls dont watch splatters, certainly not this one, but nevertheless, NOBODY bothered to mention how utterly sexist this film is? I was not offended, I repeat, I loved every second of it, it is unique, but...

PS: I have seen a great deal of worlds extremest films... many horror/splatter/weird have sexist scenes or attitudes, but nowhere as bold as this one...

aCCept me for what I am / or piss off!
extravaganza, extreme, weird, *beep* :)

I'm not a prude of anything, it's just that hobos don't really do it for me.

So I guess I am the only pervert who actually love the film, but thought about writing it is racist, even as a remark...

thanx for taking the time :)

Well I'm female and I didn't find Street Trash sexist or racist at all, it was just full of over-the-top stereoptypes from the Italian gangster to the crazy Vietnam Vet to the hard-ass Cop to the assorted Winos etc...great fun.

[–] KGB-Greece-Patras 17 years ago

sure great fun! i didn't say. it's quite interesting you're a female. have you ever seen NEW YORK RIPPER OF LUCIO FULCI, also a film accused of misogyny and sexism?? I 'd love to find out more about you [that is to say, which female character would take pleasure in such films!] - because what I might imagine is not the real deal ;)

I repeat: I love political inocorrectness both in life + films and art and everything. Acting out racism is another thing, though....

Skimming through some post of yours intrigue me more. you are vegan, huh? why? i also love motel hell TCM2, am a huge fan o Buttgereit etc.

Yes I love New York Ripper, along with most of Fulci's other films. I was lucky enough to meet him in London a few months before he died and spent several hours with him and his entourage at an Italian Horror Festival. Send me a personal message if you want to talk more, I'll be happy to chat to you :)

What part of this film was the sexiest? When the junkyard manager has sex with the corpse of a gang-rape victim?

I like to think Cytherea is out there, squirting from her vagina for all of us sinners.

[–] unlivingdearth 15 years ago

I thought bill the cop was sexy

hey, you're dead man...you're dead and you're gonna turn into one of those things out there!

Yes it was sexist, and there was a racial slur here and there.
I don't think anything in this movie was to be taken seriously, though.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the target was white males.

[–] Struckworld7767 10 years ago

Keep in mind that almost every character in the movie is despicable.
