The Lost World of Cliff Twemlow: The King of Manchester Exploitation Movies

Cliff Twemlow was a nightclub bouncer, novelist, composer, screen-writer, ferryman and actor ... Between 1982 and 1993, Cliff Twemlow gathered together a trusty ensemble of stuntmen, performers, actors and a dedicated technical crew to set up his own mini-Hollywood in Manchester, England. Cliff and his crew created hard-hitting gangster films (GBH and GBH2-Lethal Impact), spy thrillers for which they extended their locations to Barbados, the Balearics and Grenada (Target Eve Island and The Ibiza Connection) and science fiction/horror movies (Firestar: First Contact, Moonstalker and The Eye of Satan). Packed with martial arts action, snappy dialogue, sex and gunplay, these movies are brought back to life in this book ... here is a fresh look at the lost world of this Man-Man-Man-Mancunian telling how he created his own innovative film industry on a shoe-string.
