Weekend o' Pain part 3

Ken's choice of Deathless Devil (from Mondo Macabro's recent DVD catalog) was quite a bit more entertaining than Robowar, but no more expertly executed. The superhero Copperhead gets his butt kicked in every single fight scene but manages to save the day at the end nevertheless. Afterwards we took a 20-minute tour of The Indian Superman for comparison's sake.

And yes, I did eventually pull out a Pia Zadora movie (Voyage of the Rock Aliens) just to lower the bar that much further. The general consensus was that movies should be more than a collection of music videos strung together. Fortunately (!) this film is punctuated with odious comic relief starring Oscar winner Ruth Gordon.

Hunchback of the Morgue starring Paul Naschy followed up Voyage. Naschy's character is an oddly sympathetic mass murderer with a loving heart coupled with a casual attitude towards manslaughter.

Rounding out the evening was Ken's pick For Your Height Only. I don't have the strength to type out a screed about that tonight. We're packing it in for the evening.
