"I’d seen some Australian exploitation movies previously, but the first time I watched the documentary Not Quite Hollywood I was filled with so much joy... Machete Maidens Unleashed! takes an equally unabashed look at the Filipino exploitation genre and promises just as much blood, babes, and zaniness as its Aussie predecessor."
Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects
"WHAT director Mark Hartley did for unloved Australian exploitation films of the 1970s in Not Quite Hollywood he will now do for Filipino cinema. Machete Maidens Unleashed! is a feature documentary that explores filmmaking in the Philippines during the Marcos era, when miniature James Bonds, karatekicking soul sisters, snake-loving babes, anorexic Rambos and gun-toting nuns were the rage."
Paul Kalina, Jim Schembri, The Age
