This revised and updated edition, reissued to tie-in with Cinema 100, the centenary celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the invention of the moving image, is about raw movie-making, and about the low-budget movie makers who would commit anything onto film to get an audience. It has a new chapter on Hong Kong movies and the Quentin Tarantino phenomenon, and is a vivid account of the alternative movie world by one of its greatest fans.
