The Madmen of Mandoras

In Mandoras (a fictional South American country,) there is a group of military fanatics who intend to release a deadly gas and bring destruction to the entire world. To make matters worse, behind it is the head of Adolf Hitler himself, who, after losing World War Two, has been preserved in a glass jar. Then, one of the most bizarre adventure movies in history begins. What can I add further? It is a really horrifying spectacle, in all the meanings of the word. In essence, the unfinished movie offers a completely garbage story with a totally unsatisfactory execution. By some chance, the first-class cameraman Stanley Cortez (The Magnificent Ambersons, The Secret Beyond the Door, The Bridge at Remagen) showed up to work on this movie, but that's all really because otherwise there are just dreadful actors, a paltry screenplay, and questionable directing. What's more, even the cracklingly funny potential is not fully exploited! Hitler's head hardly speaks throughout the whole movie for an unknown reason (except for the only phrase: "Mach schnell! Mach schnell!"  – the screenwriter probably didn't know any more German). As Joe Dante said, "It may not even be the best movie about Hitler's head in a glass jar," but this garbage has a certain charm and is definitely worth seeing. If you are a fan of obscure B-movies, that is. (02/02/2020)
