Russ Meyer Trailers

Russ Meyer is a great American director and don't let anyone tell you differently. In ten days it will be the third anniversary of his unfortunate death. His tombstone at Stockton Rural Cemetery bears this inscription:

RUSS MEYER
"King of The Nudies"
"I Was Glad to Do It"
FILM PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR
MARCH 21, 1922
SEPT. 18, 2004

Here are the trailers to some of his sexploitation classics.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
This is a special trailer in its "behind the scenes" feel but it notably includes plenty of footage of the man at work.


Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (Original Version)
Delightfully manic.


Mudhoney
Shamelessly rough.


Common-Law Cabin
The name says it all?


Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
The work of a genius.
