Like a 70s exploitation flick, without the exploitation. And released in the early 80s (but from what I understand, it was actually shot in the late 70s).
Runaway Nightmare tells the "story" of two worm farmers (one of 'em played by director Mike Cartel) who get abducted by this female cult. Then a whole bunch of nothing, and then they help the cult with, something? It really doesn't matter too much to be honest.

If you've seen this you probably know what I'm trying/want to say here. If not, let me at least try and put it to words.
964 Pinocchio is a Japanese cyberpunk movie that starts out relatively "normal"; A cyborg sex slave escapes, this girl finds him and tries to take care of him while the bad guys look for him. But then, when they bookend the first act with a clean fade-to-black, they decide to go all out.
