I heard someone the other day refer to The Fast and the Furious movies as "Carsploitation films" and I was momentarily struck blind by the sheer stupidity of the term. Went to lolwiki and came across this compendium of Exploitation film genres.
Well, congratulations, I think they killed the term. Apparently every movie that was every made and ever will be fits nicely into some sub-genre of the Exploitation film. Seriously...Spaghetti Westerns? Martial Arts films?? Canuxploitation??? They even have an entry for "Category III" films, which is just a rating that means ages 18+. Make a movie in China that's only for adults? Well, you must be exploiting something.
Good lord. I suppose that Inception is a dreamsploitation film and Citizen Kane was a clear case of sledsploitation, then.
Not much conversational fare, here, I know. I just needed to
PS: My favorite is "Nunsploitation", methinks.
