LA REGINA DELLE AMAZZONI - Roberto Nicolosi - "Hey Cutie!" (1960)

Jumpin' Jeezus Jiminey Cricket, I had to break out the Corralejo Reposado for this one, but damn it's worth it! I'm sure I saw "Colossus And The Amazon Queen" as a kid, but the uncanny intricacies were just a bit too much for my little brain to fathom at that young age!!

Honk, Honk!! Just what the Hell is exactly going on here??

The owners of the teams from all five leagues gather to give their blessings and hope for the future, in this, the first ever no holds barred Royale Rumble, with the swingingest soundtrack ever!

Without a script, the biggest and strongest guy wins, body builder Ed Fury, as the mighty Glauco!!! Ed was the 'perfect man' in "Abbott and Costello Go To Mars," Gahbo in "The Wild Women of Wongo," and also had a turn as Maciste in "Maciste Contro Lo Sceicco," among a host of other roles!

Robin Williams, I mean Rod Taylor is the star of the movie, the scammer Pirro! This film was made right after the Oscar winning "The Time Machine," but wouldn't be released until 1964 in the U.S.

So just about the time you think this a pre-biblical buddy film....

.....Here's what's really going on! Pirro and Glauco and the rest of the crew have been taken captive by an island tribe of Amazons, and only have two basic purposes to the women, honey do's of the lowest order and pro-creation!! The fertility rite has begun, and it's a beguiling combination of swingin' jazz and dance choreography that wouldn't be realized in the real world for centuries to come!! I don't know exactly who thunk this up, but it's a wonder to see and hear!!

The brilliant music is brought to us courtesy of Roberto Nicolosi, the man also responsible for the music in films like "Caltiki, "Black Sunday," "Black Sabbath" and a whole bunch of Viking flicks!

The enticing dance numbers were put together by actor and choreographer Tito LeDuc!!!

Before mating, first thing is, you gotta clean those funky guys up!!!

Here's the line-up ala eHarmony.B.C!!

Then it's time for the girls to choose their special date!!!

"Let's be off my babies, Ya'll is my wimmen now!!"

It's uncanny how similar Rod Taylor's animated movements and vocal stylings would be to the future's Robin WIlliams! Watch this film and your eyes won't believe what they're seeing!!

Besides this film, there were a lot of great movies made in 1960, like "Visit To A Small Planet," "Eyes Without A Face," "Leech Woman," "Village Of The Damned," and "Secret Of The Telegian" that will deservedly outlive anything made in 2010!!!

I rest my case!!!

Extra Cool Bonus Feature: Get yourself one of them "50 Movie Packs" titled "SciFi Classics," and the movie "Eegah!!" is one of the films on the same disc, same side as "Colossus And The Amazon Queen!" Now that's a double feature that's damn near impossible to beat!!

TOBOR The 8th Man / The Atomic Ghost - 1965

Welcome to Wednesday at the Dungeon. Rodan here, filling in for Tabonga, who needs a break!! He'll be back Saturday with another one of his wild features.

Today we have a treat, an early example of Japanese Anime from 1964, hitting the US in '65. If you remember it, you will have fond memories!

I accidently found out that the composer of the American theme is none other than the awesome cartoon master, Winston Sharples, who we've featured here before, with Popeye and Casper!

Wow, Eegah!! has given us another excellent soundclip, so, sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of... 8th MAN vs THE ATOMIC GHOST!

Here's the Super-Cyclotron and it's ready to blow, putting a big dent in scientific progress!

Atomic Ghost is handed the needle blaster before he pops in at the doctor's house!

"A ghost disappearing into a wall, is it really possible?"

"Dr. Nelson isn't the kind of man who would imagine things, Jenny!"

Wow, The Atomic Ghost drives a convertible Plymouth Fury!

The Atomic Ghost is really a little shit, now he's blown up the rocket!

Peter Brady, aka Tobor, is on his way to investigate the crimes of 'The Ghost!'

But, Ghost is in the plane, and, he tries to crash it before he bails out to an island below.

Safe on the ground, The Atomic Ghost calls his pals to come and pick him up.

But, guess what, Tobor followed him down, ready for some payback!

Chief Fumblethumbs and Jenny unexpectedly show up at the island.

Then, the Ghost's pals buzz Tobor in their jet-boat-saucer, only to be knocked out of the sky!

Atomic Ghost calls more pals to come and get him. They arrive in a helicopter and lower a rope ladder down for him.

Tobor's second brain kicks in and he takes care of the Ghost and the helicopter!

Tobor saves the day again, even though Jenny doesn't know that her boss, Peter Brady, is actually... Tobor, the 8th Man!!
