~ More Late 1990s EEGAH!! & TABONGA! Tag Team Email Art ~

It's Memorial Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Here are 13 more pieces of Computer Tag Team Artwork Eegah!! and I did just for the Hell of it a few years back. At the time I was doing lots of highly detailed paintings, so, this stuff was like therapy for me.

This piece turned out great, here are The Fabulous Mop Tops posing for this shot.

I don't know why but I love this one, it's just twisted in all the right ways for me!

This is my second favorite piece that we created, I can see it as a large oil painting, look closely for the joke.

Look out for The Buggers!!.. No matter what they are, they're up to something weird! Not the stuff in your nose, rather, things that really BUG you, man!

Here are three Desert Mutants what like to hang out in deserts where atomic bombs were tested, and, have their own show on The Discovery Channel!..

This is another one that's plain crazy, looks like you never know what to expect when you get to Heaven!!

This is actually a cosmic comedy team from the Funnybone Galaxy, a million light years away!

What can I say?.. Monsters at a monster movie!

If you ever have to spend time in the slammer, well, these guys are there to entertain you!!

Here's a nice example of an exotic LSD Tiki, whatever that is.

This piece was created from a pencil drawing I did in 1977, recycling, Eegah!! added nails!

You know that weird family down the lane?.. This is what you'll find in their back yard!

This one is simply known as... Woody Blows A Gasket!

Check back on Wednesday when Eegah!! will bring us a little more insanity!..

ASLAN ADAM - "Lion Man" - KILIC ASLAN (1975)

Welcome to another Skull Spinning Saturday Night Special down in The Dungeon! From 1975, it's "Aslan Adam" aka "Lion Man!" You know how the word special has more than one meaning, well, that's what I'm talkin' about here, "Lion Man" is freakin' special, with a side of extra special red sauce! "Aslan Adam" is the same movie as "Kilic Aslan" except in "Kilic Aslan," instead of names like Steve Arkin, Barbara Lake, and Charles Garrett, their names are Cüneyt Arkin, Bahar Erdenz, and Yildirim Gencer!

There are only two things you need to know about "Lion Man," number one is that it's a movie, and number two is that it was made in Turkey! Everything else is meaningless, because that explains it all! Don't expect anything, and that's what you'll get, plus two big handfuls of something you were never expecting! That's Turkish movie making at it's finest!

This is Lion Man's Father, and that ain't exactly his wife!

This is Lion Man's Father's arch nemesis as played by Yildirim Gencer, also known as the bad guy, and that was his wife!

Lion Man's Pop is murdered, and Lion Baby Boy is left to fend for himself and is raised by the lions! At that point, about 20 years goes by in the flash of an eye, and now he's all growed up!

"Lion Man" is played by Turkish actor Cüneyt Arkin who has some 285 acting credits to his name and is still working today! In this movie, Cüneyt is credited as Steve Arkin!

Lion Man is the master of "The Claw," and has fighting skills that are almost beyond belief! The strength of a lion makes him sometimes look like he is being catapulted off a trampoline, he's that strong!!

 The naughty Nazan Adali has the role of the dancer with ulterior motives! Most of the music in "Lion Man" is overly bombastic, but here's two minutes of Turkish dance music, with a little dialogue so you can get a reel feel for this flick!

"Lion Man" is a regular "Peyton Place!" Cemil Sahbaz is this dude, the son of the guy who's wife was being screwed by Lion Man's Dad!

The followers of Lion Man's Dad are a bunch of rebels, and this gal, as played by the sultry Bahar Erdenz, is one of the leaders! She doesn't know which side Lion Man is on at first, so like a nice girl, she stabs him when he's not looking!

Then she sees the royal Lion Man birthmark on him, and she realizes she did a bad thing, and now she has to nurse him back to health! Stupid wench!

The guy in the middle's job is to stand around trying to look cool with the big cross costume on! If I recall right, he did finally get a couple of lines near the end, but the rest of the time, he's just standing there!

Lion Man has enough time to get cleaned up, get some civies, and learn to speak English before he gets captured! In the meantime, he's also probably slaughtered 50 or 60 people for various reasons, all good!

Now it's time for the big showdown between Lion Man and the son of his Dad's arch enemy! Three rounds, no holds barred!

Lion Man is just about to polish this punk off when the Mother lets it be known that she was untrue to her husband, and that these two are brothers! The shirt is pulled back, and the other birthmark is revealed! Oh, man, that really pisses off the olde man, and he stabs his wife who he's been keeping in the dungeon anyway! Now he wants to kill both of them!

During the big escape, Lion Man gets acid poured onto his hands while he's hanging onto an escape hatch lid, and almost gets killed again, but this time he's taken to the local blacksmith, who is also a part-time Doctor!

Since Lion Man's hands were all but destroyed, the blacksmith hooks him up with some custom made iron claws! Time for bad guys to get the Hell out of the way or pay the price!

Lion Man is pretty angry at this point, and the hack and slash finale goes on for quite a while!

Had enough? Too Bad, because in 1979 they came out with a sequel titled "Lion Man II: The Witch Queen," and Yes indeed, Thanx to the generosity of the crew over at Cult Action, "Lion Man II" will also grace these pages sometime in the not so distant future!

KONGO / Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - 1932

It's Conga Line Friday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots the remake of the silent film WEST OF ZANZIBAR from 1928 that starred Lon Chaney and it tries to outdo Chaney's morbidity in the main role. From his wheelchair, the handicapped white man, Flint, rules an area of Africa as a living god, using superstition and stage magic to control the local natives. He lives only for the day when he can avenge himself from the man who stole his wife and crushed his spine...

Eegah!! sent over a soundclip from this wild flick for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the jungle devil head, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's a little smell of... KONGO!

Blogger The Gremlin is still up to no good, screwing up our b+w photos! We even wrote them about the problem, and, they just ignored us. I took out a few photos because they looked so horrible, after I took the time to make them look good. But, enjoy them as best you can...

Here's the great Walter Huston as the sadistic Flint, crippled and in a wheelchair. That's Lupe (The Mexican Spitfire) Valez as Tula in the background, one of his unwilling helpers. Although Lupe was very popular in the movies, she never recovered from her failed romance with Gary Cooper, who never planned on marrying her. She then married Johnny Weissmuller, but they divorced after five turbulent years. Drugs and alcohol destroyed her life and she was only 34 when she committed suicide. Sad.

To exact his revenge, he sends one of his men, dressed as a minister, to lure the daughter of his nemesis back to him!

Virginia Bruce plays Ann, Flint gets her addicted to drugs as part of his sadistic plan, seeing her in anguish keeps him happy!

Here's the drawing for one of his stage magic devices to keep the natives in line.

Tula tries to butter up Flint for a favor.

Portrait of Flint in all his glory, they used to use non-flexible collodion makeup for facial scars, something Eegah!! and I were familiar with, and, we'd buy at the local pharmacy to experiment with! One time, I drove down Main Street with my face all twisted up with the stuff and scared the crap out of a bunch of people!! Ahh, the good old days...

A lost and addicted (to a root found in the jungle) doctor shows up. He inspects Flint's paralyzed legs and tries to help Ann out with her addiction while fighting his own demons.

Flint shows the doctor one of his magic tricks.

Flint goes under the knife without anesthesia as the doctor tries to restore his ability to walk.

Okay, this is where the story gets really crazy, Flint finds out from the guy who stole his wife that Ann is HIS daughter!!!

Oh Lord, what have I done?!..

Flint lets Ann and the doctor get away, then, faces the natives for the final time where he sacrifices himself so that the two could make their escape.

Tune in tomorrow when Eegah!! will make your head spin!

SICARIO 77 VIVO O MORTO - "Killer 77, Alive Or Dead" (1966)

Wow!! The 7's just keep on rockin' it, and tonight's Super Seven Special Secret Agent Spy Guy Selection is no Exception!! Today's world is a screwed up mess no doubt, but these Secret Agent flicks will make you wonder how we ever made it safely out of the 60's!

I love the international variations on this puppy! It was originally titled "Sicario 77 Vivo O Morto," but it was also released as "Agente End," "Bazooka Pour Un Espion," and "Killer 77, Alive Or Dead!"

Here he is! Meet Secret Agent Lester as played by Rod (War Of The Colossal Beast, How To Make A Monster, Operation White Shark) Dana! He is the man of the hour! The great Nitzsche-Morriconesque theme was created by Federico Martínez Tudó and Mario Sensi! The interesting side note is that while Tudó was a regular composer with 77 (That's right, 77!) credits to his name, Mario Sensi was really a cameraman, and this was the only film that he lent his musical talents to!

This dude is creepy with his weirdass silencer! I'd tell you what his name is, but have you ever tried to do a Google image search on a random Italian guy's name? Sometimes it works, sometimes it's not a fruitful endeavor at all! It's okay though because, when it's all said and done, this guy doesn't have that big of a role anyway!

This movie has more than it's share of gadgetry, and most of it is off the wall, like this radioactive bullet that will allow them to track whoever gets shot with it!

The fate of all of mankind lies in this man's hands!! José (Sound Of Horror) Bódalo is George King! I know it's hard to believe, but it's true! Somebody needs to be in charge, and he's made up his mind that's he IS the KING! Three cheers for the almighty future ruler of the whole stinking world or whatever's left of it, King George King!!

Meanwhile, back in the pits, spying goes on just like it always does! Pretty sneaky!!

The reason that there was a dollar bill in the title card is because there is a secret code in a dollar bill floating around that you can only see with special filtered glasses, and Lester needs to find it, so he gets this suspicious gal in a liplock so he can get the money out of her purse and look at the singles with some special sun glasses that he has! I tried to get a good still of her crazy black and white checked mod outfit but it just didn't work out!

Okay, remember the part about the atomic bullet? 77 has got himself into a pretty big mess with a bunch of guys chasing him, so he shot himself with the atomic bullet, so his boss could track down and help him! In the meantime, he had to off this guy with a forklift!

If you think 77 is going to get in that big ole tire and hide, then you are absolutely right!

Yeah, me neither! In fact, I think I'm going to have to go back and watch it again in order to get it all straight!

77 does get in a couple of good one-liners like this one after they bring in the guy with the whip with a fish hook in the end of it, and lacerate this gal just to show off! 77's comeback line, "And now I'm expecting the knife throwers and clowns to appear!"

The mini reel to reel tape recorder in the sole of the shoe trick pays off good when Lester gets captured and incarcerated!

This is my favourite spy gadget yet! The telecommunications device inside the booze bottle of a supposedly drunken homeless person!

Hubba, Hubba! This is the alluring Alicia (Whatever Happened To Baby Toto, Eat It) Brandet, as the woman with multiple identities, good and bad!

Alicia also graced the covers of a couple of magazines like this 1968 issue of IO!

Now you know how the word bazooka got into the title!

Agent 77's nick name was 'The End' because he would always either finish a project, or the project would finish him, so with one shot, this movie and the King's quest for world domination are over! Where can you find it? Either at the bottom of the ocean or at Cult Action as far as I know!
