Safe Lists
The following lists are Automatic Safe lists. They are not definitive and there might be exceptions therein, especially concerning Distributors. Generally, the presence of those on the lists in an actual creative capacity (that is, more than just a cameo or bit part. For instance, Bruce Campbell appearing in Spider-Man does not make Spider-Man safe) is enough to make a film safe. Got more? Post them and I'll update the list. Obviously, films not including these participants are safe, too. Update: I added several new names to the actors list. Some of these actors appeared in actual big budget Hollywood fare, but most of their career was in B-Movies, then obviously discard the Big Hollywood movies and just watch the B's (For example, William Shatner. Ignore Star Trek movies but anything else is fair game. Or Patrick Swazye. Ghost is probably not right, but most of his other films were B-Movies).

Re: 10th Annual Drive-in/Exploitation/B-movie Challenge. April 1-30, 2019

Even though I (Possibly) had the biggest arsenal I've ever had for Exploitation films this year, I just wasn't able to fully capitalize on it. It looks like age & health has finally caught up with me for these challenges. I even got exhausted just typing out reactions. That explains why they ended halfway through. Still though, I'm glad to have at least squeaked by with over 100. I'll finalize my list soon, but I'll name-check my most favorites:

Bamboo House of Dolls
Au Pair Girls
Drunken Dragon
Run Like Hell
Six Swedish Girls in a Boarding School
Jacqueline Hyde
Fantasm Comes Again
Killers on Wheels
Hot Connections


As others have said, thanks C-God for hosting this challenge.
