THE TROUBLE SHOOTER - (1957)

Here we go with another WTF!? Wednesday! Tonight's featurette is what you can find if you do an internet search for 'bizarre cartoons!" "The Trouble Shooter" is at the top of the list, and as far as I'm concerned, for good reason! It's hard to get much weirder than this in 7 minutes and 22 seconds!

Just an ordinary work bench with ordinary tools!

But wait! When self-assembled, bits and pieces of stuff turns into our hero, "The Trouble Shooter!"

And "The Trouble Shooter" is off to do a days worth of troubleshooting, and he's going to have his hands full by the time it's over!

First stop is out in the freakin' desert, just this side of nowheresville! There's a little boy who needs some help! His scooter has broken down!

So "The Trouble Shooter" gets to work, and before you can Jiminy Cricket..............

.......The little boy is on his way again! Now what the Hell this kid's doing all alone out in the middle of the desert I have no idea! All I know is that these days, his parents would be going to jail!

I could find no reference to this cartoon on IMDB, but the Youtube comments say that his film was made in the Soviet Bloc country of Georgia in about 1957! Now it's starting to make a little sense!

"Help, Help" cries out this little girl!

So what's the problem? This nasty frog has stolen her toy boat, and now it's up to "The Trouble Shooter" to get it back!

"Thank-You Mr. Trouble Shooter!"

 

 "The Trouble Shooter's" cool little car also converts into an airplane! Is there nothing this little guy can't do?

Part three is the weirdest of all! "The Trouble Shooter" stops to help a young boy in super short shorts with his atomic cannon!

The kid is just radomly shooting at stuff, and upsetting all the barnyard animals!

WHAT FUN!!! 

I wish I had an atomic cannon when I was this kid's age! I would have blown up the whole neighborhood!

"Mr. Touble Shooter," what a guy!

Don't believe what you see? Here's the link to the video, just be mentally prepared when you get around to watching it! I will not take responsibility!

JAPANESE TV MONSTERS AND HEROES

So, it's Monday and time for a pile of fun from the land of the rising sun. What you don't know about Japanese TV superheroes protecting the world from all the bad monsters might surprise you, here are some cool shots from what seems to be a never ending supply of insanity for our enjoyment, looks like 1970s to 1990s here. The DVD I took this from is in Japanese so there will not be any names given for identification, I'll just be having some fun with it...

I have a sound clip from this wild collection of craziness for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our monster cyclopedia, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... JAPANESE TV MONSTERS AND HEROES!

No, you are wrong you stupid Earthling... You cannot see us!!

Now, here's a scary looking guy, must be what you don't know about him that's terrifying!

I showed this still because I love that super-duper looking patrol car in the background.

I'll just let you try and figure out what's going on here with this super-girl...

This water spigot monster takes one right in the chops!

Dude, I'm really sorry about that, let's shake on it!.. Come on, what are you afraid of?

HIIII-YAH!!.. That reminds me, girls are lucky, they have built in air conditioning!

Every now and again, really cool looking bad guys show up, like this killer robo-fiend!..

Or, like this neato underground demon bent on destroying more puny humans, what else?!

This big old stupid blabbermouth monster just won't shut the Hell up, jeez!!

That's right, that's a big rubber hand riding in the Jeep, coming to grab our hero big time!

FREAKIN' BANANA PEEL!!!!

Seriously, what the Hell kind of monster is this?!!..

Let no stone go unturned has to be the motto of these Japanese monster designers!

These monster makers seem to always have weird surprises in store for the viewer!

Or, how about this bad guy that can turn into a fully armed destroyer cannon?!

Here's kind of an Alien creature that takes our hero to another dimension to fight it out.

This cracks me up, a family confiding in a monster!

HOLY CRAP!!.. RUN LIKE HELL!!!!

I'll end with this giant amoeba thing, it somehow reminds me of the giant monster in THE FLESH EATERS!.. Anyway, check in Wednesday when we'll be back to have your back when it comes to your wild 'n' weird side!

"DAS GEHEIMNIS DER GELBEN MÖNCHE - "Target For Killing" (1966)

Welcome back to another Saturday night of chills and thrills in The Dungeon! I have to admit, it's pretty tough to follow an act like "Killer Klowns From Outer Space," but I'm going to give it my best shot!

So without further delay of any sort, here's our feature presentation of  the night...........

 

"Das Geheimnis Der Gelben Mönche," or as it was released in English, "Target For Killing!!" I have to admit, this is one of the most cheap and ugly title cards I've ever seen, but trust me, it gets nothing but better from here!

Here are the two main characters in "Target For Killing," one of Eegah!!'s all-time favourites, the luscious Karin Dor, and Stewart "I've never done a film I'm proud of" Granger! They don't know it, but they are on a plane bound for Hell!

 Klaus Kinski is in there as the co-pilot with a conscience!

 Why is this stewardess undressing??

Because her and the pilot and co-pilot have just bailed from the plane!

Before I go any further, I've got to tell you that the theme song from "Target For Killing" is one of the rockinest songs we've have a chance to present to you lately, and I really hope you enjoy it!

The musical credits in the film go to Marcello Giombini, and he's probably the only one who could tell us who this band actually is! (As it turns out, no he wasn't! At 6:10 PM on 6-10-15 some cat called Whale Fodder left an awesome comment to let us all know that this song was actually a song called "Cupidation" by Rome group the Bumpers." Thanx, man!) Sounds like a well-produced Hermanos Guzanos riff to me!

"Target For Killing" has everything you look for in a good movie like a monastery full of monks and strippers! (Of course, the strippers are only there because they are hypnotized!)

 One of the finest actors of all time Curd Jürgens, is the head of all the evil action going on, and he's known as THE GIANT!

 Scilla (Mill Of The Stone Women) Gabel is the Tiger! Tiger has two sides; this is her bad side!

 And this is her good side!

This terrific bowling alley shot I expect to be freely shared by all the Tumblr freaks!

 James Lablanche Stewart changed his name to Stewart Granger so as not to be confused with super popular actor of the time, James (It's A Wonderful Life) Stewart!

 Pre-Doom or Call Of Duty, "Target For Killing" is full of first person shooter scenes like this, except in this case, it's a paint spray gun!

 I just happen to adore Karin Dor! She's prefect!

 Klaus Kinski actually gets a chance to try to be a good guy in this film before he gets murdered!

 Karin Dor's character Sandra Perkins is on everybody's hit list! She's about to inherit five million dollars, and a lot of people would like to see her out of the picture! As it turns out, it's actually 70 million dollars which was a pretty nice piece of chump change back in 1966!

 Who's going to be the big winner? What's behind door 13, and should she have taken the bag instead?

 Sandra Perkins is given the key to the office of her new job, down a blind alley, and the key doesn't work, and an out of control garbage truck is headed her direction!

 "Target For Killing" has a truly amazing cast that even includes Adolfo (Thunderball) Celi!

 Personally, I felt that Stewart Granger just might have possibly not been the best choice for the leading man in this film, but on the same token, his campy performance also kind of takes the film to another level of enjoyment! If you're twisted enough, you just might like it as much as Chubby Checker!

Game Over, Man! Literally!

Thanx to all those cool folks over at Sinster Cinema for keeping this kind of crap afloat! Films like this could easily be lost forever without anybody really noticing, and that would really be a shame! They've got a deal now where you can buy 12 weird ass movies of your choice for $98.00 including postage, and that's where I'm headed right now! What a deal!
