Synopsis

Millionaire playboy Hugo flies around Acapulco in his private helicopter to pick up sexy young women. He whisks them away to his secluded old castle, where he wines and dines them. With the aid of his bald, mute little helper, Dorgo, he kills his dates, keeping their heads in a crystal cage and feeding their chopped up body parts to his 1,000-strong army of bloodthirsty, flesh hungry cats.

Michael Ledo A playboy picks up women, takes them to his get-away and then later turns them into cat food. The first to get it is Christa, played by Christa Linder who was Miss Austria 1962. Dorgo, the creepy bald butler was excellently portrayed by Gerardo Zepeda, long time actor with 137 movie credits to his name. Abraham Cruz, one of my favorite sound editors knows something about music as he brings us a fine combination of 50-70's soundtrack bites. He is experienced with 81 films, who would you rather have? Hugo Stiglitz stars as Hugo, the playboy who picks up women. With 224 movie titles to his credit including "Zombie Apocalypse" (1985), Nightmare City (1980) it is historical to see one of his earlier creations. Written, directed and produced by the great René Cardona Jr. (98 film credits) he would later team up with other members of this extraordinary cast to make "The Treasure of the Amazon" (1985)!Hugo cruises the city in his helicopter looking for chicks the way a teen cruises the town in an old Ford. For mental stimulation Hugo plays Dorgo in chess and I don't think either one knows anything about the game. With 4 badly placed black pieces on the board, Hugo is able to "checkmate" Dorgo, who has at least 4 moves to get out of it. In one scene Hugo tosses a rope ladder out of his helicopter expecting a woman to just climb on in. What I really enjoyed were the muscle machines everyone drove in this film. To be honest, I have never seen a pride of kittens hunt and kill in a pack. Just an amazing movie all around. 5 stars on the MST 3000 scale.Sex, Brief Nudity (Christa Linder) WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WATCH UNLESS IN AN ALTERED STATE. TO BE VIEWED BY EXPERIENCED ILLICIT MATERIAL USERS ONLY!
gorillache This is easily the best film I have ever bought from Big Lots. The movie is basically about a crappy 70's dude who flies around in his helicopter and, picks up some crappy 70's chicks, then goes to his castle in Alcupolco and kills em'. Then he keeps their heads in "crystal cages" and feeds their ground up hooker-meat to his kitties. The artistic qualities of this film are exemplified in scenes including a slow-motion chase, zooms on dead animals, and lots of repeat footage. The movie is 63 minutes long but you actually get about 25 minutes of distinct footage. Most of the movie is just scenes with the suave Hugo Stiglitz flying his helicopter and petting his mustache, or something else to make him look bad ass. The dialogue in this movie is rare, but amazing when it happens. I've watched this movie 5 times now and it just keeps getting better. If you have four dollars then i say go to big lots and get it now.
EyeAskance Eccentric tycoon ladies' man uses his private helicopter to prowl female rooftop sunbathers. Once he gets them to his crumbling stone mansion for a dinner date, he sexes them up before adding them to his "collection"(a row of glass jars containing pickled human heads...the victims' other remains are fed to his pit full of ravenous kitties). This is actually a semi-stylish junkyard horror outing with a few effective sequences. The story, however, is rather convoluted and comic-bookish...more discerning horror fans may find the goings-on a bit juvenile. That said, I still maintain that this is worth a look, especially if morally unsound oddities are your bag. With a bit less restraint in bloodshed and boob-shots, this could have been near-classic stuff.5.5/10
alvaro_dd what an awful movie! I was hoping to see an undiscovered classic and what I got was something like a tacky 70´s after shave commercial; crap acting, crap visuals...what a waste of a suitably crazy plot.On the other hand ,all the sex scenes seemed to be removed from the spanish version that I saw, altough it appears to be slightly longer than the others ( 93 minutes)...at least some gratuitous nudity would have helped me to stay awake.
