The Arizona Underground Film Festival keeps picking and screening the best in world extreme cinema and their fourth annual edition, which will run Sep. 16-24 in Tucson is no exception, compiling outrageous cult epics from countries such as Japan, Switzerland and Cuba; as well as some local nastiness produced in the fest’s own backyard.
The fest opens with Jack Perez’s Some Guy Who Kills People, a comedy thriller executive produced by John Landis and starring Kevin Corrigan as a loser who gets sadistic revenge on those he feels have wronged him.
While the opening night film is a big name affair, Auff is also celebrating local freaky film fare with films such as the film noir Sweet Love and Deadly, directed by Paul Clinco; and the horror comedy Dick Night, directed by Andy Viner.

"The Avengers" hits theaters next year, bringing some of Marvel Comics' most popular superheroes together on one screen. Not only will the film feature solo stars Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk, but it will also include characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye whose presence in Marvel's cinematic universe have been relegated to cameos thus far.
However, those are far from the only members of the Avengers roster that Hollywood can chose from. As one of Marvel's oldest superhero teams, it's almost easier to name the Marvel Comics characters who haven't held an Avengers ID at one point or another.
And while some of the names on the Avengers roster could certainly factor into the upcoming film and future Marvel movies, there are quite a few characters who it's safe to assume will never make the leap to page to screen.
From a bikini-clad tigress to a time-traveling gunslinger,...
