LOS CANALLAS / Filmica Vergara S.A. - 1968

Itz Mexican Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon! We gots a pretty cool lil' flick starring Mil Mascaras and sultry Regina Torné in a story about a local 'pack of dogs' causing a ton of trouble in Mexico City. Mil Mascaras get involved after he arrives there for a series of wrestling matches... Alternate title is ANGELES INFERNALES.

This was Mil's very first film, he'd go on to star in LAS VAMPIRAS, THE CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE, THE MUMMIES OF GUANAJUATO, THE CHAMPIONS FIVE SUPERMEN, THE BEASTS OF TERROR, MACABRE LEGENDS OF THE COLONY, LAS MOMIAS DE SAN ANGEL, BLACK POWER, MYSTERY IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE and MIL MASCARAS vs THE AZTEC MUMMY! Love it, whenever Santo or Blue Demon talk to Mil, they always call him by his full name, Mil Mascaras! That's cool to me, respect... He's still kicking at age 70.

Regina is the leader of the pack of dogs, they hang out at an underground club where they groove out to rock music, as heard in our soundclip, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there located next to the uranium ore sample, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... LOS CANALLAS!

Mil has his own plane, making it easy for him get around. After his first match he's attacked by Regina's gang in the locker room...

And, they unmask him for the trophy! Luckily, he was wearing another mask under that one so they couldn't see his real face.

Not to worry though, he has plenty more masks in his arsenal!

Regina has a plan to get her jail bird brother and hook hand pal out of jail by communicating with them through a converted toy piano! Wow, Mexican prison uniforms are rather stylish! Seems to me though, that if they were hardcore criminals, they'd like wear their caps crooked or something just to show their contempt and all!

Regina is a real kitten with a whip, she and her pals are into elaborate dance numbers and the occult too...

Mil, wearing his 'don't mess with me' mask, meets with Regina at the club only to be drugged by her!

Regina's pals bring out the machine gun to take care of Mil, but are tricked into killing one of their own!

No matter what's going on, Mil still has to keep all his 'in ring' obligations!

Hook hand turns on Regina's bro, no more BFF!!

Don't mess with me!!..

CATALINA CAPER - Various Artists - "Wild Adventure & International Intrigue" (1967)

Image
I searched and searched for a copy of "Catalina Caper," for a couple of years after reading that it had a cracking soundtrack! It's kind of like an extension of the beach blanket bongo scene as quasi-thriller, and I'm not sure what's older, the story or the kids, but I am sure they had a great time on the island over the course of a weekend with Director Lee "Rollem" Sholem at the helm! You know, it's like this, "Okay, somebody start a bonfire, now everybody start dancing, Roll camera! Yeah!! That's a take!! Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Next!!" Tommy Kirk has two roles, one as himself and the other as the girl he falls in love with! Tommy Kirk is in the the deepest part of the 'Dungeon Hall Of Fame' and never fails to deliver an all-star performance no matter what film he's in! Actually the girl is Ulla Strömstedt, the multi-lingual Swedish beauty probably best known for her role as Ulla Norstrand on the "Flipper...

ISLAND OF THE LOST - George Burns - "Angklung My Eye" (1967)

Image
More than just wacky, "Island Of The Lost" is more like The Young-Holt Trio's instrumental hit from the same magical year, 1967, because it's "Wack, Wack!" And why is it such a wild and weird production? Well, you can blame it all mostly on the guy in charge of everything, Mr. Ivan Tors! The MacRae family is getting ready to set sail for an anthropological expedition and adventure to the South Pacific!! Richard Greene is the philosophical pipe smokin' Sub-Genius Bob of a father, Josh MacRae!! From 1955 to 1960, Richard held the lead role in the very popular TV series "Robin Hood" for 143 episodes, and he also played the Nayland Smith role in a couple of "Fu Manchu" flicks! On the right is Luke Halpin as Stu MacRae, and sitting with him is family friend and fellow adventurer Irene Tsu as Judy Hawllani! Luke was Sandy Ricks in the original "Flipper" movies, and also in all 88 episodes of the "Flipper" TV series from...
