THE BLACK COBRA / Wiener Stadthalle-Station Betriebs-und Produktionsgesellschaft - 1963

It's just another Friday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a wild one today, filmed in Austria with lots of great characters keeping the insane action moving rapidly along.

Eegah!! sent over a lil' soundclip of cool music from this flick for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button next to the white weasel, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's a taste of... THE BLACK COBRA!

You know, when you run a Euro crime syndicate, well, it's always wise to hire a brute like this handsome guy here to take care of business.

This greasy gangster's getting ready to interrogate another one of his victims.

Here's Dungeon hero Klaus Kinski as drug addicted weirdo piano player, 'The Snow.'

These are our heroes, they're in a tricky situation, with that cobra ready to strike and all!

I just like this shot of the busy bar.

Europe has some of the most interesting places you could ever wish for!

Here's the baddest of the bad guys, Günter Meisner as 'Mr. Green.' He doesn't look like much but he ends up with all the marbles in the end, and, has a cane with a poison dart in the tip that he uses on a regular basis!

It's a battle of the titans as these two go at each other, no holds barred!

At the auto junkyard, Mr. Green sticks the greasy dude with his cane and runs away and hides in a junker to escape the police who are on their way there. Greasy dude gets the last laugh as he throws the switch that starts the crane.

The crane comes down on the car Mr. Green is hiding in and takes it to the crusher!!

That's right, Mr. Green winds up inside chunk of compressed metal! Check back tomorrow when Eegah!! presents his next post.

PELIGRO... MUJERES EN ACCIÓN! - Nadia Milton - Carlos Camacho-Ernesto Cortázar-Nacho Méndez - "Danger Girls" (1969)

You want some action? You want girls? You want to see stuff get blown up? Well, then welcome to Worldwild Wednesday in The Dungeon!

The poster says the title is "Peligro... Mujeres En Acción!" but the title card says "Peligro...!  Mujeres En Acción," and my Mom always taught me to never trust people who didn't know where to put the exclamation mark, so I was just a little leery of this movie right from the start! The English title as released in South Africa is "Danger Girls!"

I counted 12 women's names, and six men's names in the credits, and most all of the women are wearing bathing suits at some point, good and bad alike, not the suits, the demeanor!

Julio Alemán is a real dynamo as Alex Dinamo who reprises his role in a movie made two years earlier called "SOS Conspiracion Bikini!" Julio has 189 acting credits to his name, and astonishingly enough I didn't see one reference to Santo or Blue Demon among them!  Right here he's about to get shot in the back, but he flips the girl around just in time and she takes the shell instead! After he disposes of the guy who tried to shoot him, he doesn't even check on the girl at all!

"Mujeres En Acción!" literally translates to "Women In Action" and that's exactly what you get in this movie, lots of action!

"Danger Girls" is almost two hours long, and scenes like this underwater chase go on for way too long, although for underwater photography, it was done real well!

I'm not 100% sure but I think these two beauties are Barbara Angely and Alma Delia Fuentes!

One trick that Alex Dinamo has up his sleeve is that he carries this high-powered blaster around with him, and he needs it more than once as the odds get stacked up against him!

By the time "Peligro... Mujeres En Acción!" is over, almost every character has got wounded or killed at least once!

There was enough action up to this point that the movie could have ended right here, but instead, it takes off again in another direction! As Alex recuperates, he explains how he didn't like the fat nurses the hospital provided, so he hired his own!

Enter César del Campo as S.O.S. Agent Jack! I think his name should be Chopper! Jack's got this crazy metal hand with one edge that is sharpened to make it even more effective, and when he's not using it, he wears this big mitt on it that looks like a hot pad so it doesn't look so obvious!

So, here you go, here's the part you've been waiting for.....The new runner-up to Kipp Hamilton's "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat" in the 'best worst' song in a movie department ever,  Nadia Milton as S.O.S. Agent 380, aka Cristal, with "I'll Never Be In Love With You!"  Nadia was a singer in real life, so I have no doubt it's her vocals, and the writing credits go to Carlos Camacho, Ernesto Cortázar, and Nacho Méndez, and believe me, it takes at least three guys to write a song like this! So just who is this Nadia Milton anyway?  Nadia was born in Italy, then her family moved to Chile! She was involved in the so-called "new wave" of Chilean music during the 1960s, and she toured as Amalia, before ending up in Mexico! Nadia was also in a few more interesting Mexican películas like "Santo Contra Los Cazadores De Cabezas"(Santo Vs The Headhunters), and a movie I've yet to see, but sounds very tasty, "Tacos Al Carbón!" Hell Yeah!!

To find out more about Nadia Milton, go this Peruvian Record Store Web Site where you can buy this 45 for eight bucks!! I'm sure it's worth every centavo!!

Although there's a nice round of applause, Chopper doesn't appear to be much of a music fan, and doesn't seem very entertained by that number at all! In fact, it made him downright uptight!

Alex has a couple of nifty gadgets at his disposal, like this mini tape recorder he uses as a distraction to get himself out of a jam!

Jeez, is it that late already? I was just getting started!!

Oh Well, still got time for one more shot of this Chopper jerk-off before he gets what's coming to him!!

Alex is tough! One of the last tries to get rid of him is by Rosa Maria Rodriguez as S.O.S. Agent Monique! I'm not really sure why Monique doesn't have a number, but that's just how mysterious this movie is! "Danger Girls" and Cult Action go hand in hand, so if you're looking for action and adventure, that's about the most exciting place I know that you can go to, have a good time, and not get killed! Adios Amigos!!

MISION SUICIDA / Puerto México Films - 1973

It's Suicidal Mission Monday wif' Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots our hero, Santo, in a flick from about half the way through his 21 year movie career. Get this, Santo officially retired from wrestling/acting at the age of 65!! After nearly 50 years years without ever being seen without his trademark mask, he appeared on the Mexican TV talk show "Contrapunto" on January 26th, 1984, where he unmasked for the first time to reveal his face! Then, sadly, Santo passed away from a heart attack less than two weeks later at the age of 66. His funeral was attended by tens of thousands of fans and many wrestling identities and was laid to rest at a mausoleum in Mexico City, wearing his silver mask!

Eegah!! sent over a little soundclip of the theme, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the suicide note, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... MISION SUICIDA!

The crooks use a simple mirror to communicate with the boat of illegal goods ready to unload!

Great shot of our hero relaxing after flying in for more scheduled wrestling matches.

In the late sixties, Eegah!! had a gray '56 Chevy with a phone in it!

Santo and his gal pal make a hasty getaway in their vintage white Corvette!

As a bonus, direct from the night club, here's this cute girlie singing... A COOL LIL' POP TUNE!

Here's a good look at actor/writer, Fernando Osés, in yet another role as a killer henchman!

This looks pretty serious!

I really love this shot with the blue desk top and all.

Here are our two good girls, Lorena (SANTO vs THE VAMPIRE WOMEN) Velázquez and Elsa (THE CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE) Cárdenas in an interesting shower scene, and, both of the lovely gals are still working today!!

Another weird shot to just stop and stare at!

What a way to go!!!..

Another cool shot showing Santo and his girls sharing a ride in this seventies gold Corvette!

In a subplot, this guy gets an unwelcomed backwards nazi tatoo on his forhead and is thusly incriminated in the crimes!

A souvenir for his special gal pal... Tune in Wednesday for more Eegah!! insanity!
