Kritiken (1)
In Mandoras (a fictional South American country), there is a group of military fanatics who intend to release a deadly gas and bring about the destruction of the whole world. To make matters worse, behind it all stands the head of Adolf Hitler himself, which is preserved in a glass jar after his defeat in World War II. And one of the most bizarre adventure films in history can begin. What can I say? It is truly a terrifying spectacle, in every sense of the word. In its essence, this unfinished film offers a completely trashy story with utterly unsatisfactory execution. By some chance, first-class cameraman Stanley Cortez (The Magnificent Ambersons, The Secret Beyond the Door, The Bridge at Remagen) appeared here, but that's about it. The rest is filled with terrible actors, a mediocre screenplay, and questionable direction. What's more, even the explosively funny potential is not fully exploited! Hitler's head hardly speaks at all throughout the film for some unknown reason (with the exception of one line: "Mach schnell! Mach schnell!" - the screenwriter apparently didn't know much German). As Joe Dante said, "Perhaps this is not the absolute best film about Hitler's head in a glass jar," but this trash has a certain charm and is definitely worth seeing. That is, if you are a fan of obscure B-movies.
