GOLIATH AND THE DRAGON - Les Baxter - "It's All About The Broads" (1960)

Since today is like a special holiday to us, being Friday the 13th, we have a special presentation for you from 1960 called "Goliath And The Dragon", and it is fine lookin' man, it's something else!!

As much as we love them, after a couple of night's of black and white films, it's always a nice change to see some colour again, and we're not just talkin' plain old color here, we're talkin' "Colorscope" kids, and you should have seen what I seen before I desaturated these photos!!

"Goliath And The Dragon" is a movie about that one actor near and dear to everybody's heart, the one and only, Mr."Highway Patrol" himself, Broderick Crawford as the evil and world domineering Re Eurito!! Can I hear one big collective Hell Yeah!! out there please?

And in the other corner, it's the 12 time champion of the sword and sandal world, playing GOLIATH in this film, and also known for his many recurring titles as Hercules and/or Maciste, it's MARK FOREST!!!

Goliath's got his work cut out for him. Before this, it was the three headed dog, and now, it's like those gargoyle monkeys from "The Wizard Of Oz" grew up, and are really pissed off!!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Broderick's got all the chow, booze, and dancing girls while Mark is....

off fighting a giant black bear this time; is there no end to this man's personal Hells??

My buddy Whitey Thomas used to be a good drinkin' buddy of Broderick Crawford, and he told me, they'd be out drinkin' in some Hollywood bar, and Broderick would get the fun idea of having a pretend fight! So, that's just what they would do, start actin', throwin' blows, for real, in public!!

Broderick Re Eurito has got one of the better to look at snake pits I've ever seen. It's very well constructed, but they really could have used a few more snakes, i.e. Indy Jones style!!

And now, ladies and gentlemen, after some 858 posts, Dwrayger Dungeon is proud to finally present, THE worst mullet ever in a movie...

and if that's not bad enough for you, it's on a horny minotaur! It's almost impossible to figure out how Kenny Loggins could have gone back so far in time, but, that IS the magic of the movies!!!

I'm just a sucker for women in chains!! Oh, don't worry, Goliath will save her!!

You might have noticed they mentioned a dragon in the title, so, finally, after the 3 headed dog, the giant flying gargoyle monkey, the bear, and a host of other terrors, Goliath finally meets up with THE dragon!!

It's a real hack and slash affair all right, but you know, in the end....

...truth and justice will always prevail, and there will be a God damn happy ending, or some other spawn of the devil, is going to have to get their ass kicked!!

EL DEMONIO AZUL - Ing Heinrich Henkel - "BLUE DEMON" (1964)

The title sez it all!! This is the original "Blue Demon" flick made in 1965, and even though, he is arguably one of THE greatest wrasslers in history, in this outing, he has his hands full!!

All the time people ask me, Eegah!! Why do you spend so much time on these Mexican wrasslin' movies? Take one look at this photo, and come up with yer own answer, amigo!!

Aye Chihuahua!!! See what can happen!! Now you kids know why your Mom and Dad told you not to never run downhill!!!!

This was not the first film Blue Demon had ever been in, because way back in 1961 he appeared in "La Furia Del Ring," as Blue Demond, but "El Demonio Del Azul" was his first championship role!!!

C'mon Man, you just know you're not sposed to be reading books like that!!!

Now even your girlfriend doesn't believe anything you say, and you ain't going to be getting any tonight neither!!

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Blue Demon has his own cross to bear!!!

Kookie werewolf dude goes through madcap transformation scene!!!

Now what are you gonna do? It's proof positive that reading is overrated, had he just been illiterate, and not read that book, none of this would have happened!!! Less reading, more fornication, that's the bottom line here!!!

The music put together by the formiable Ing. Heinrch Henkel is all over the place from 40's serials to "Forbidden Planet" style theremin electronica! Buena suerte finding a copy of this film, that's just the nature of the beast sometimes!! Take what you can get!
