KGB-Greece-Patras While other reviewers suggest this started out well but later lost focus, to me it went vice versa. Starts out OK, trying to balance between hilarity and supposed social commentary and of course action and blood-sheding. It manages quite well (hey this is low budget!) but I don't think the director meant for serious satire or comment on high society and life style etc. others suggested. Anyway, at the final third part, when the spaceship reaches the planet, the film gets to its high point! I had a great time watching this film, it's funny (in a twisted way), there's blood and sickness. It's high time of entertainment. It reminded me of BRAINDEAD & BAD TASTE of Peter Jackson, as well as BODY MELT of Philip Brophy and maybe a bit Mad Max (by the way ALL Australian films). Just don't expect TOO MUCH. Fans of mainstream sci-fi cinema: STAY AWAY!
a_carling At three am in the morning, after working, to sit in front of the international station and see this movie was a wonderful way to unwind. Aside from the obvious cheesy this movie is it also sports some very well placed and also hidden humor that can catch you unaware. All the way to the end it is made up from moments of madness, not unlike "the thief, the cook, and the lover", it reigns way up there in the realms of monty python, (to some) and as bad as the attack of the killer tomatoes, it could have easily been a cult movie given the air time. I especially enjoyed the closing scene ( no not because the movie was over), but because all the corpses sat up and sang the bad bad ending song...............a slap to the conventional, nah, just good light hearted fun.
Moby-13 The film starts off as a satirical, blackly humorous, look at society, where a group of disabled terrorists (Accion Mutante), reunited with their newly released leader Ramon, kidnap a beautiful wealthy socialite Patricia at a bloody raid on her wedding reception. The kidnapping is the culmination of a campaign of anti-beautiful people terrorism, and leaves half of the terrorists dead after a violent battle at the reception.After this stage of the film, the film takes a turn to a SCI-FI crime black comedy, where Ramon takes Patricia to a rendezvous on a distant planet in a pure money-grabbing ransom attempt (none of the anti-beauty ideals of Mutante Accion remain). On board the ship, Ramon starts to spread dissent among the remaining gang members, resulting in the death of all of them bar one, who happens to be half of a siamese twin (leading to some pretty disturbing scenes later in the film). The socialite eventually falls for her kidnapper, even though he treats her particularly roughly, and is only after the money. There ends up being a race to the ransom rendezvous between the half siamese and Ramon, with Ramon and Patricia meeting up with a family reminiscent of the inbreeds in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the siamese being strung up with his dead brother, eventually causing their separation. The showdown at the end between Ramon, Patricia's father, and the twin, leaves nearly everyone dead.If this doesn't interest you in this gem of a film, let me add that it was not really cheesily done. The story was done in an exuberant style (not in content, but in the rapid pace and settings of the film). Although extremely violent and bloody, it fitted with the story, and the high quality of effects added a real feel to the film.This is one of my all time favorite films. I would love this on DVD...
Julien (Cescotto) -Ramon : We're gonna show those assholes what terrorism is ! » La banda terrorista « Accion Mutante » hates cosmetics, slimming diets, sperm banks, plastic surgeons, aerobics and all that's beautiful people's advantage. They're ugly, bad, twisted, dumb and mutant. Excepted Ramon, the leader with a half-burned face, who's much more clever than the other ones. « I'm a pro », he says to himself while he's right in the middle of the desert with the only woman of the planet Axturias. We have to say the women are very demanded on this planet. This lady, Patricia, Ramon kidnapped her on Earth : she's an important businessman's rich daughter, and he has to exchange her an for a large ransom.Classic situation, till a Stockolm Syndrome out of the ordinary. Patricia tenderly addresses him a stupid «I love you», kinda «The Young and the Restless», and Ramon answers in the end by starting up a general gunfight as worthy as John Woo's best ones ! Imposing !In this Alex de la Iglesia's first feature film, the football-suited cops are as twisted as the reporters : some thrash and kill over the slightest thing and others show the pigs' «feats» on T.V. NewsThe original soundtrack is excellent, composed by Def Con Dos, a cool band which is almost unknown out of Spain, alas.Antonio Resines , as the leader of the terrorists, plays his part horribly well, as well as Alex Angulo, the siamese dragging his stuffed brother. In a distinctly softer kind, you can find an Antonio as good in « Como ser mujer y no morir en el intento », and Alex Angulo in Iglesia's second feature film, « El dia de la bestia ». This second film is as successful as his big brother ! I've never seen such a black humour than in this terrific movie among terrific ones : « Accion Mutante ! »I'll give 10/10 for that « sci-fi/black comedy » super film !
