Sure, the technical details can be so bad that it ruins a film, sometimes they can be so bad that it makes a film great (I will cite a few of my favourite examples later, but perhaps the most obvious ones would be films by Ed Wood).

Obviously as you said, a lower level of technical detail is sometimes connectable with exploitation cinema, but again, as you said, a =/ b. Yeah, a lot of decent exploitation cinema is scoffed at because it seems dodgier than the higher end films, which is a shame really.

Either way, thanks for the contribution JH Any particular faves when it comes to the world of exploitation cinema?
I have a list ready for sure don't you worry! but I want to be a little more sober with my reviews!
