[QUOTE="Villano, post: 1333927, member: 505"] Any of the El Santo movies which feature masked, Mexican wreslter El Santo (sometimes known as "Samson" in US dubs) battling any number of monsters, aliens, spies, and other bad guys. Most of these things were actually filmed in serial fashion due to some Mexican tax law which made it less expensive to film a serial than a movie. [B]Santo VS Dr. Death[/B] is one of my absolute favorites. It was made in the 60s and has a definite I Spy or Man From U.N.C.L.E. feel. In it, Santo, who's a secret agent in this one, fighting to uncover an art theft ring. It's available subtitled, but only from places that specialize in "public domain" films (even though some of those films might not be in the public domain, if you know what I mean). Another is [B]Santo Contra La Hija Del Frankenstein[/B] (Santo VS Frankenstein's Daughter). This one is on dvd, subtitled, from Rise Above Entertainment. It's a great one with both a gorilla man and classic Frankenstien Monster. Definitely the one to start with if you're curious about El Santo. Also, while not a great film, there's [B]Clones Of Bruce Lee[/B]. Yes, it's just what you'd think. A secret agency makes 3 clones of the actor to foil a gold-smuggling movie producer and a mad scientist who's recreated the legendary Bronze Men. [B]Image Of Bruce Lee[/B], a great kung-fu movie starring Bruce Li (it has nothing to do with Lee). [B]Oblivion[/B], a space western. [B]Subspecies[/B], a vampire flick by Full Moon (I own the comic book prequel :) ). The werewolf films of Spanish actor Paul Naschy, particularly [B]The Craving[/B]. [B]Man And The Monster[/B], a 50s, Mexican version of Faust (with a hairy monster). [B]Zatoichi, The Fugitive[/B], out on dvd or you can catch it on IFC. And about a million more I can't think of at the moment. [/QUOTE]
