Here is another post regarding the trailer.

With Black Dynamite hitting stores today, here’s a heads up on a potential distant cousin, just in case you’re in need of a second movie for a double bill. Scream of the Bikini is a similar parody of cult cinema, also trying to pass itself off as the genuine article, but instead of tackling ’70s blaxploitation it pays tribute to ’60s spy movies. It claims to be a poorly dubbed, long lost film from acclaimed South American director Fernando Fernandez, but it’s actually the directorial debut of a guy named Kiff Scholl.
I haven’t heard anything else about the movie, but apparently it played in some festivals and will get a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles this weekend. To be honest, the trailer looks a bit iffy, and nowhere near as good as Black Dynamite although I’d still be willing to give it a chance. It’s a bit of a reminder that these kinds of parodies are not necessarily as easy to pull off as they might seem. For every Black Dynamite out there, there’s also a Lost Skeleton of Cadavra to go with it. Check out the trailer for Scream of the Bikini after the jump and see what you think.
