PAGAN ISLAND / A Secret Island Ruled by Nature's Own Exotic Young Maidens! - 1961

Here's a wild tale about the survivor of a shipwreck who finds himself on an island populated only by scantily clad native girls. This was on a Something Weird double feature with THE FIEND OF DOPE ISLAND, which I reviewed recently.

It stars Eddie Dew as the shipwrecked William Stanton. Eddie ended up with 104 acting credits from 1936 to 1969. Some of the movies he appeared in are THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939), MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR SATAN, CITIZEN kANE, THE FALCON TAKES OVER, CAT PEOPLE, SUNSET BLVD. and THEM!. The rest of the cast are basically nobodies with only one acting credit, just a bunch of cute girls with nice boobs that had nothing else to do!

The story starts with William and his native girl friend in a life raft on the ocean, a passing ship sees them and picks them up...

The Captain and the first mate tend to William and want to know what him and the girl were doing in the raft. After he has recovered a bit, William tells them what has happened...

He says that his ship went down and he escaped on a life raft only to end up on the shore of some island. As he explores the place, he comes across three native women he communicates with, and learns that there are no other men on the island, just him!..

The girls take him to their village where he's given a hut to stay in. The women are unsure of what to do with having a man on the island.

I guess the highlight of the movie, besides the obvious, is this giant wooden tiki god! Anyway, the girls love to dance around the monster, and, we love watching them trip the light fantastic!

Back at his hut after the festivities, William, drunk, simply cannot believe his freaking good luck, man oh man, is this what heaven feels like?..

Like I said, the girls can't figure out what they want to do with William. When a girl tells him that men in a canoe are coming their way, he tells her to cut him down so that he can get his gun! And she does.

These guys from a neighboring island show up, and you can figure out why they're there. Well, William guns them all down with his pistol, all of them!

Well, William has fallen for one of the girls, and, she looks great there dancing with that big old wooden monster...

William gets greedy when he finds some underwater caves that have a hidden treasure buried there. His girl helps him recover some of the gems in a chest.

But when they take the raft away from the island, they are lost and can only hope for a ship to come by. Thing is, his girl has died and the treasure is lost. So, a perfect tale for Friday the 13th, basically the ides of March! Tune in tomorrow when Eegah!! will try and satisfy our need for the wild and the weird!

SUPERMAN - "Terror On The Midway" (1942)

Tonight's Wednesday Wonder is brought to you by The Fleischer Brothers.

Not only did Max and Dave Fleischer make the best looking cartoons, I think they might have just made more than anybody else, and they had the best heroes, Popeye, and Superman!

Max Fleischer produced over 625 cartoons, and his brother Dave directed over 645, and "Terror On The Midway" was just one of them!

 "More Powerful Than a (Super Cool) Locomotive!!"

 "Able to Leap (Totally Awesome) Tall Buildings at a Single Bound!"

 You can bring on as many superheroes as you want, but Superman will always be the baddest of them all in my humble opinion!

And Clark Kent will always be one of the best alter egos too!

The circus is in town, but it's not going to be the show that all the kids are expecting!

Of course, circuses are nothing by controlled chaos and madness!

It's when they become out of control that all Hell breaks loose!

These two shots of Clark checking out Lois Lane are great!!

Lois had a real Betty Brosmer waistline!

The star of the show makes a grand unplanned entrance!

Even the clowns are scared!

This giant simian is like a mean spirited King Kong!

And he has desires for Lois Lane just like Kong did for Fay Wray!

Size really doesn't matter if you're going to have to go up against Superman!

Time for Clark Kent to take his eyes off of Lois Lane, and go into action as Superman!

Lois is completely terrorized on the midway!

And of course the authorities are no help at all!

The whole place goes up in flames!

But this is Superman we're talking about, and since none of those clowns have any Krptonite on them, he'll handle this big ape just fine!

THE LOST SAUCER / 'The Dorse' - Sid and Marty Krofft - 1975

Here's some Sid and Marty Krofft memories for lots of kids back in the seventies. This re-titled episode appeared later in THE KROFFT SUPERSHOW. The aliens are Fi and Fum, played by Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors. The are from the year 2369 and have a flying saucer to get around in, but, you know, it's lost!! They also have two earthlings from the present, little Jerry and his babysitter, Alice, who were in the saucer when it had an emergency take off.

So, the gang land on a distant planet and find a giant wishbone, which Fi and Fum remember that it's the wishbone from a creature they have already encountered, a Chickephant! A Chickephant is a large animal with a chicken head on an elephant body.

This Dorse, horse head on a dog's body, is like Fi and Fum's pet. Anyway, it finds a giant egg and pushes it toward the ship...

We even gots three cavemen running around in the jungle, looking for anything that might just come their way.

A Chickephant shows up and the cavemen run like Hell.. The gang tries to say hi to the beast, but, they end up running like Hell too!

Inside the saucer, the dorse rolls the egg into the ship, and after not too long, that crazy looking mixed-up aminal breaks out of its shell, and it's a freaking Elefaken!! Hey pal, these names are making me dizzy!

Then, don't ax me why, but this knuckle dragger tells Fi that she is now his slave, and she must go to his cave and clean it up! Fi's energy is nearly depleted and needs to be recharged.

In the meantime, Fum wants to have mom meet her baby and gives out some ear shattering calls to her.. Baby waits on a rock but when mom sees it, she rejects the poor little thing!

Fum rescues Fi from the cave and recharges her, then it's a game of ring-around-the-rosy with the Dover Boys. Our friendly pals start their rocket boots, and...

Away they go!!.. Back to the ship!

They are trying to figure out what to do with Baby when the saucer gets rocked like a mofo, it's mom again, and she's mad as Hell...

Believe it or not, Alice comes up with a plan to rub the thing with peanut oil, since Chickephants liked peanuts. And, it works!!

Go figure.

Well, it's off to another adventure for the gang, see you in the reruns! That's it for today, be back Wednesday for Eegah's take on all this stuff, here at The Dungeon!!..
