They Saved Hitler's Brain
''They Saved Hitler's Brain'' is a 1968 TV movie directed by David Bradley. It was adapted for television from a shorter 1963 theatrical feature film, ''Madmen of Mandoras'', directed by Bradley and produced by Carl Edwards. The film was lengthened by about 20 minutes with additional footage shot by UCLA students at the request of the distributor. It is often cited as being one of the worst films ever made. Plot World War II is over, and Nazi officials remove Adolf Hitler's living head and hide it in the fictional South American country of Mandoras, so that they can resurrect Nazi Germany in the future. Fast-forwarding into the 1960s, the surviving officials kidnap a scientist with expertise in nerve gas in an attempt to conquer the world. The scientist's son-in-law, who is a security operative, and the scientist's daughter travel to Mandoras to rescue the scientist and foil the evil plot.

Film Poster
A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film primarily to persuade paying customers into a theater to see it. Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content for various domestic and international markets. They normally contain an image with text. Today's posters often feature printed likenesses of the main actors. Prior to the 1980s, illustrations instead of photos were far more common. The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tagline, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, and other pertinent details to inform prospective viewers about the film. Film posters are often displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street or in shops. The same images appear in the film exhibitor's pressbook and may also be used on websites, DVD (and historically VHS) packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspap ...

Back From Samoa
''Back from Samoa'' is the debut full-length album by the American punk rock band Angry Samoans. It was released in 1982 on Bad Trip Records. Production After the release of Inside My Brain, "Metal Mike" Saunders left the group, and was replaced by Jeff Dahl. The impasse they had created locally with the influential Rodney Bingenheimer meant the band had trouble playing in Los Angeles, forcing them to play shows in the suburbs. When they began to play in the emerging suburban hardcore scene, with bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, they sped up their own songs accordingly. The band began recording ''Back From Samoa'' and had completed approximately two-thirds of the record, when Mike Saunders returned, forcing the band to re-record all of the vocals. The album contains a cover of The Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today", which was written by Joe and Willie Chambers. In their video, a bunker scene is included, where Joe Chambers makes an appearance. In the scene, the le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
