"This is the Bible...here are hundreds of reviews for the world's most exuberant cinema."

—Oliver Stone

"Asian Cult Cinema introdiced me to the genre, walked me through it, and got me hooked. If these films are trash, they're at the top of the heap...and so are Thomas Weisser's informed and witty analyses. Weisser has earned my eternal gratitude for (if nothing else) persuading me to check out Beauty Evil Rose. But that's merely the tip of the iceberg. This book is indispensible."

— David Bianculli, New York Daily News

"This is truly the first book of its kind...it emerges as the deficitive text. Informative, but wildly entertaining."

—Craig Ledbetter, editor, European Trash Cinema
