Mexican Movies

[enrique]

Uta madre!!! I almost forgot that movie!! ChiquiDracula!! That character was extracted from a mexican children comedy show " Chiquilladas" (Kid's Stuff) and because this character was so popular some genius thought  it was a good idea to make a movie with a crapius and stinky plot!!!  The alcoholic grandpa' was the testbed for the new treatment and cure for alcoholism, thus, Chiquidracula was endorsed by the medical council to decrease the drunken population!!! Unreal!!  HAHAHA!! this flick it's a must see...

I saw many of you guys had mentioned flicks like "The Brainiac" and "The nite of the bloody apes" and my friend Locobiker and I were wondering if in the translation the producers had changed the title in the cover for marketing purposes, because we can't figure out the original title even if we translate these US titles they don't match with any mexican movie that we can recognize... We are in a dilemma!!!! I'm gonna search pics from the cover to resolve this mistery.......

The original Mexican title was LA HORRIPILANTE BESTIA HUMANA during it's release in Mexico. The Mexican distributors re-titled the film as HORROR Y SEXO and added in some nudity as well. When released in the United States in 1972, distributor Jerard Intrator was given the re-issue version HORROR Y SEXO and Intrator added in some gore, plus changed the title to THE NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES.

As for the original Mexican title of THE BRANIAC, I am not too sure what the original title was.

Movie titles are often completely different in different countries. According to IMDB, here are the original titles for the ones you mentioned;

The Brainiac - Barón del terror, El
Night of the Bloody Apes - Horripilante bestia humana, La

 Just go to the IMDB, put in the English title and it will give you any/all alternate titles for the same movie.

I was/ am way into "The Ship of Monsters" in spanish, but is great whether you know spanish or not.  and all of the santo movies,  I like how they try to fit so much wrestling around the plot.  Like he'll stop what he's doing and be like "I've got to go to the arena"
