They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong (1978)
Bobby A. Suarez isn’t mentioned in the same breath as other genre directors, but if I have anything to say about it, that’s going to change. The One-Armed Executioner, two Bionic Boy films, Warrior of the Apocalypse — the guy has made some interesting films. Perhaps none as wonderuflly odd as this one — which somehow synthesizes the […]
Seven Golden Men Strike Again (1966)
Remember Seven Golden Men? No? Well, this is obviously the sequel to that film, written and directed by the same man, Marco Vicario. Philippe Leroy (Mother of Tears, Mannaja), Rossana Podesta (Hera from Cozzi’s Hercules), Maurice Poli (Rabid Dogs), Manuel Zarzo (Nightmare City), Gabriele Tinti (Lisa and the Devil) and Giampiero Albertini (The Case of the […]
Target for Killing (1966)
Maniacs like me love Stewart Granger for his role in The Wild Geese, but he was also a leading man until the mid 60’s, when he started making movies in Italy. This spy film — an Austrian/German/Italian mash-up — was directed by Manfred R. Kohler, who wrote Daughters of Darkness and Franco’s The Blood of Fu Manchu. […]
Oh! Those Most Secret Agents! (1964)
Franco and Ciccio — yes the same comic team who were in the Eurospy parodies Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs, The Amazing Dr. G and the sequel to this one, 002 Operazione Luna, are back, doing what they do best. They’re two simple-minded Italianos who get mistaken as KGB agents and hijinks ensue. Those crazy moments include […]
Bombshells and Dollies (2020)
Documentaries are always a hit and miss that depends on the subject matter’s appeal to the viewer. For example, last night I watched The Kids Stays in the Picture — a second time. Why? Because I’m a film dork and the life of film producer Robert Evans (Love Story, The Godfather, Popeye) fascinates me (I […]
Death On the Run (1967)
Jason (Ty Hardin, Berserk) is a thief being taken back to Greece to do some jail time. However, he escapes and is forced to steal a tooth out of a dead man’s mouth to get a piece of microfilm. This leads to him being chased by everyone, including Michael Rennie (Klaatu from The Day the Earth Stood […]
