Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

ElijahCSkuggs After seeing El Dia De La Bestia I was very much hyped up about Accion Mutante. From the likable characters and intelligent writing to the quick pace the film held throughout. But unfortunately Accion Mutante didn't deliver for me in the slightest.Accion Mutante starts off like it may be a crazy team based action flick with characters all over the place. But instead they get rid of that idea for a simple kidnap and revenge type film. And honestly I think they made the wrong choice. I was enjoying all the different types of "mutants", even though they're really just handicapped people, which was also disappointing. But instead of keeping the Mutants, they get rid of them and your left with only a couple. And only one of the characters is even slightly likable. The main character known as Ramon is unlikable, unfunny and wasn't suited for the role very well. He's got the most screen time out of anyone in the film, and he bored the hell out of me. You do end up meeting more and more characters as the film goes on, but none are very entertaining. More like annoying. The film has a very dirty feel that I also didn't enjoy, it reminded me of a early Bruce Campbell film called Mindwarp. Though I do have to admit the sets were nice, the ship interior reminded me of another film called City of Lost Children. The only thing about Accion Mutante I liked was the violence. There was lots of shooting and a nice razor blade scene. But besides that it was average at best in almost all other departments.I'm actually very surprised that every comment on here is so into this film. One review even implied if you enjoy the movie Freaked, you'll enjoy this. Freaked is my favorite movie. And I disagree with that statement 100%. I'd agree if the original Mutante team stayed together, since Freaked is based around a large cast, but nope, they got rid of that very early on. Accion Mutante definitely has a look and feel to it that a lot of people will enjoy, but it'll never reach the cult status that El Dia De La Bestia will reach. That's for sh!t sure. A generous 6 outta 10.

Rapeman This bizarre sci-fi / action / horror / comedy hybrid is set in a post-apocalyptic world where Accion Mutante (or Mutant Action) a group of terrorist mutants are trying to realize their goal of eradicating all the beautiful people in the universe by going around assassinating body builders, blowing up sperm banks, and massacring a TV aerobics class live on air. When their leader Ramon is released from prison they set up a plan to kidnap the daughter of a wealthy business man at her wedding, their plans go horribly wrong (the hunchback gets stabbed while hiding inside the wedding cake) and the wedding ends in a massacre, BUT they still eventually secure the girl, who's lips they staple shut, bundle her into their space ship and take her off to the planet where they'll be meeting her father with the ransom money. While in transit to the planet however, their scheming leader manages to off the other members of the gang by turning them on each other - except the Siamese twins, of which he only kills one, who is forced to drag his dead brothers body around with him for the rest of the film - so he can keep all the cash for himself. When the leader Ramon and his hostage (who has now developed Stockholm syndrome) land on the planet they meet the Crazy Miners who are all insane from constantly inhaling some kinda gas, who take them in and feed them but then turn on them an try to gang rape Patricia, the kidnapee because there are no women on this particular planet and they're fiendin' for some pussy. They eventually escape and make it to the pick up point for the ransom money, where more f uck-ups ensue, and it all ends in a big explosion where everyone dies.... except for Patricia the kidnapped bride and the single Siamese twin who was in love with her the whole time and they live happily ever after. The End.I really dug this early film from Álex de la Iglesia (of The Day of the Beast fame). Its a fun little black comedy with themes of social satire, quite a bit of the old ultra-violence, trashy sci-fi trappings and some cripples to keep you amused. 7/10

gargoyletongue After long being a fan of Day of the Beast and Perdita Durango, I managed to finally track this down in the bargain bin of a second-hand video shop, and I certainly wasn't disappointed by it. The first half, taking in spoof news programmes (similar to the mock psychic phone-in show in ...Beast), a phenomenally kitsch Almodovar-esque party scene, and large amounts of extreme violence, is brilliant. As always, beneath the violence, humour and genre-spoofery, de la Iglesia engages in a serious subtext of social criticism, in this case of beauty-led bourgeois culture.Unfortunately, this serious side is abandoned in the second half, as is anything resembling a decent plot. However, right till its end the film remains hugely entertaining, if ramshackle in structure, and is crammed with eccentric and unusual touches and beautifully shot. Alex Angulo is as brilliant as always, and the film provides an interesting insight into the origins of its director's wonderful subsequent work.

Julien (Cescotto) -Ramon : We're gonna show those assholes what terrorism is ! » La banda terrorista « Accion Mutante » hates cosmetics, slimming diets, sperm banks, plastic surgeons, aerobics and all that's beautiful people's advantage. They're ugly, bad, twisted, dumb and mutant. Excepted Ramon, the leader with a half-burned face, who's much more clever than the other ones. « I'm a pro », he says to himself while he's right in the middle of the desert with the only woman of the planet Axturias. We have to say the women are very demanded on this planet. This lady, Patricia, Ramon kidnapped her on Earth : she's an important businessman's rich daughter, and he has to exchange her an for a large ransom.Classic situation, till a Stockolm Syndrome out of the ordinary. Patricia tenderly addresses him a stupid «I love you», kinda «The Young and the Restless», and Ramon answers in the end by starting up a general gunfight as worthy as John Woo's best ones ! Imposing !In this Alex de la Iglesia's first feature film, the football-suited cops are as twisted as the reporters : some thrash and kill over the slightest thing and others show the pigs' «feats» on T.V. NewsThe original soundtrack is excellent, composed by Def Con Dos, a cool band which is almost unknown out of Spain, alas.Antonio Resines , as the leader of the terrorists, plays his part horribly well, as well as Alex Angulo, the siamese dragging his stuffed brother. In a distinctly softer kind, you can find an Antonio as good in « Como ser mujer y no morir en el intento », and Alex Angulo in Iglesia's second feature film, « El dia de la bestia ». This second film is as successful as his big brother ! I've never seen such a black humour than in this terrific movie among terrific ones : « Accion Mutante ! »I'll give 10/10 for that « sci-fi/black comedy » super film !
