Curiosidades
Leslie Lee had done some modeling prior to playing her sole lead role as Lisa. Lee declined an offer to be interviewed for the release of this movie by Severin Films in both the DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Pifias
When Lomax is making holes in clothes with his cigar, the amount of holes, his position and position of the clothes is not synchronized between shots.

Citas
Steele: Lomax, why don't you get me a glass of water.
[pause]
Steele: Then drink it yourself, it'll give you somethin' to do.

Versiones alternativas
For its original UK cinema release (as "California Axe Massacre") cuts were made to a razor slashing during a rape scene, the beating of Aubrey, and heavy edits to the infamous scene where the salesgirl is shot at and splashed with ketchup, and the film later found itself on the official DPP list of video nasties in the 80s. It was eventually issued on the Exploited video label, under its cinema title, in 1999 but received 19 secs of cuts to the previous razor slashing scene. The BBFC said they would have passed it uncut but previous illegal distribution of the uncut version led to a prosecution under the obscene publications act (the same reason Aquella casa al lado del cementerio (1981) and Blood Feast (1963) were slightly cut). The cuts were fully waived for the 2005 ILC release and the film reverted to its original title of "Axe".

Decent Drive-In Flick

Axe (1974)

** (out of 4)

Extremely low-budget thriller about three crazy criminals who are on the run and decide to stop in at a farm house where they take things over. Lisa (Leslie Lee) stays at the house taking care of her paralyzed grandfather but the three criminals don't know what they've gotten themselves into.

AXE was released under countless titles back in the day when low-budget movies like this could play across the country on drive-in screens for years. At just 67 minutes there's really not too much plot wise as what we've basically got a mix between THE DESPERATE HOURS and THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Even though this film got on the Video Nasties list it really isn't all that shocking, graphic or gross.

Again, there's really not too much here and there's really zero character development or any sort of story. The three criminals harass some people. They wind up at the house and you can guess what happens to them. Director Frederick R. Friedel isn't Stanley Kubrick but I thought he did an okay job with the material and at least tried to make it somewhat different than your run of the mill psycho movie. I thought the music score was rather effective and I liked that the director at least tried to create some stuff through the editing.

I also thought Lee was better than average in the lead. She really doesn't get too many lines and instead she goes around as the silent type but I thought she was effective enough. Jack Canon was also good as the criminal Steele. As I said, there's some minor gore footage but nothing all that believable. The highlight is the sequence where the criminals harass a store clerk and the "shot" joke was rather funny.

AXE certainly isn't a masterpiece or even a good movie but if you enjoy this type of low-budget stuff then there's certainly much worse out there.
