Since my computer problems kept me from doing sound clips last week, I thought I'd make up for it now with audio from the trailer of one of the craziest cult movies ever made, Herschell Gordon Lewis's 1968 ode to mindless violence, Just for the Hell of It (aka Destruction, Inc.). The movie begins with a gang of goons completely trashing a room full of furniture, turning the stuff into literal splinters, and the scene goes on for minutes. Then it really goes nuts, and there isn't a baby or blind man in town that's safe from their attacks. (They steal the latter's cane and put the former in a trash can.) These clowns are bad actors in more ways than one, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable piece of socially irredeemable trash.
