The
Blood Of Fu Manchu
Udastex Films Jesus France Christopher Lee, Goetz George, Richard Greene, Howard Marion Crawford Tsai Chin, Shirley Eaton Fu Manchu is back with his latest world domination brain-child. The idea is to get hold of ten gorgeous girls ( sounds good so far ), fill them up to the gills with poison and then send them off to plant 'the kiss of death' on the lips of world leaders. The planet is saved just in time by the efforts of Fu's old adversary Inspector Nayland Smith. Most released versions were drastically cut by about 30 minutes, destroying any faint chance the film had of being of reasonable quality. |

Mister
Freedom
Opera / Les Films Du Rondpoint William Klein John Abbey, Delphine Seyrig, Jean-Claude Drouot, Philippe Noiret Donald Pleasence, Yves Montand This is apparently a satire on the American handling of the Vietnam war. Mister Freedom is a superhero for whom things never go quite as planned and in order to save France from a collection of super-criminals he comes to the conclusion that he has to destroy the country. The mickey is taken out of the Americans in various ways, not least of which is the depiction of the American embassy as a giant supermarket which sells such delightful items as aerosol defoliants. The future is agent orange? |

Santo
Contra Blue Demon En La Atlantida
Producciones Sotomayor Julian Soler Santo, Alejandro Cruz, Jorge Rado, Rafael Banquella, Silvia Pasquel Magda Giner, Rosa Maria Pineiro, Griselda Mejia I just knew you were waiting for more 'masked wrestler' pictures - well, here they are. This one sees the 'stars' of two separate series come together for the first time as they fall under the temporary mind control of an ex-Nazi in Atlantis ( yes - I know! ), who has discovered the secret of eternal youth and, surprise surprise, plans to rule the world. The two protagonists manage to free their minds, stop fighting each other and team up against him. Most of the 'Atlantis' stock shots were footage from TOHO's 'Kaiju Daisenso' film. |

Shirley
Thompson Versus The Aliens
Kolossal Films Jim Sharman Jane Harders, John Likoxitch, Helmut Bakaitis, Tim Elliott June Collins, Marion Johns, Ronn Haddrick In a flashback-style presentation Shirley tells this story to her psychiatrist. She meets a bunch of aliens posing as a motorcycle gang in an amusement park. They use a wax model of the Duke of Edinburgh by bringing it to life to act as a mouthpiece for them. Everybody thinks she is crazy and it is this disbelief that actually does drive her mad and gets her put into the asylum where she is telling her story. You can see their point. The film was adapted from a stage show. The director, Jim Sharman, also made 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. |

Murer Henri Noverraz, Elsa Shorecka, Herbert Herrman A Swiss film comprising of three futuristic episodes, one of which involves a robot film crew making a documentary about the country and complaining that the whole place seems to be run by computers. This was made as part of Switzerland's 100th anniversary and has apparently never been shown abroad. Good.

The
first of three official movies and one unofficial movie based on
'Blood Island'. Inhabitants of the island have been mutated into
lumpy 'blob' monsters by radioactive testing and their whole reason
for existing seems to be the tasteless molestation and subsequent
devouring of native females.
