Konterr Brilliant and touching

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

atchman For some reason the synopsis of this movie on many cites and some of the reviews is wrong talking about things like mechanical monsters to kill people with Type O blood. It's like they write the review from the synopsis and haven't seen the movie or can't remember it. The movie is about Interpol recruiting a retired spy to investigate crimes committed by strange dark skinned men and women. The plot thickens as he learns these crimes are committed by kidnapped men and women with Rhesis Zero blood (Neither - or +) who have been turned into Robots. The movie is slow at times but has it's good points. Overall I enjoy it and have seen it many times. Most of the prints out there are washed out and edited, but Gaumont in France sells a pristine copy (in French with subtitles called Cartes Sur Table the original French name. I have a copy of that one as well as older copies. The film was supposedly shot in color and released in B&W, I would like to see the color version.

archie_stanton This movie is pure fun. The English dub is great. Eddie Constantine is a joy to watch on screen. The plot is interesting; mad scientist, using robots, and messing with blood types, you know standard spy stuff. But the movie's charm lies in Constantine as Al, as well as the various characters he encounters along the way. More enjoyable than it's sequel "Residence for Spies"/"Boarding School for Spies" - I really wish he had reprised this role for more movies. Unlike later Franco, there is nothing objectionable here, PG by today's standards. Suitable for kids. Interesting side note - it was actually filmed in color; although only B/W prints have surfaced on home media.

dbborroughs One of the better Jess Franco films stars Eddie Constantine sending up his tough guy image as a detective chasing the source of mind controlled people carrying out the whims of a mad man. Constantine is clearly having a good time and it carries over to the audience. To be certain the film isn't super spectacular, its limited of budget but often dated, but at the same time there is a certain charm. Its an amusing way to spend an hour and a half if you should run across it.6 out of 10.(Though try and find a letter boxed version the one I saw was a terrible pan and scan one that chopped off all sorts of things on the sides of the picture.)

Michael_Elliott Attack of the Robots (1966) ** (out of 4) Spanish sci-fi/spoof about a mad scientist who creates some robots to kill off those with Type-O blood. Like many early films from director Jess Franco, this one here is technically well made but, as with the others, it offers nothing original and in the end it comes off rather slow and boring. We've seen this type of film so many times that this one here really doesn't have a single thing going for it.Also, to be fair, I must admit that I prefer Franco's work from the 1970s, which is another reason why I didn't care for this one as much as others.
