The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968)


































  Fu Manchu has found a strange species of snake whose venom only affects. In his powerful master plan, he inoculates ten women with this venom in order to poison ten male leaders, bring chaos in the world and eventually preparing millions of doses for his world domination...
  Even on meager budget Jess Franco once again proves not only that he can make a film but also that he can make a good film without depending too much on nudity and drugs. Exploiting the persona of the notorious villain Fu Manchu, Franco creates a thrilling adventure with intense scenes, of course a minimum amount of nudity and epic pulp characters and dialogues. Another underground classic by a perverted mind...
  Much of the film's success (or call it whatever you want) depends and can be attributed to Christopher Lee. Even under shitty situation and sarcastic roles, Lee manages to sustain a classy character and dominate most of the space that he can take. And since it's a Franco film, presences like Maria Rohm, Loni von Friedl, Shirley Eaton and Tsai Chin could not be absent!
Must watch this :  with your stoner friends, a bowl half-full of the best Buddha Haze you can find and sugar-full soda drinks! Get high, get cranked and start growing Fu Manchu beards under the tunes of those fuzzy bastards.

Venus in Furs (1969) a.k.a Paroxismus


































  A jazz musician witnesses the assault of a young woman at a millionaire's party. The next day, he finds her dead at the beach and confused, he leaves for Rio where he lives with a young female singer. Unexpectedly, he meets a woman much like the victim and he starts to pursue her to find out who she is...
  When heavy psychoactive substances interact with a flow of smooth jazz and Jess Franco interferes, then you get something like this film. The lack of exact continuity creates a mood of trippy haze and with the nostalgic and sensual scenes that only Franco can create, Venus in Furs is sure to take you away from your personal and into another. 60's, drugs, parties, music and travels...
  The cast is, as usual in early Franco's films, totaly off the hook. Maria Rohm, Barbara McNair, James Darren and Klaus Kinski giving a truly great dramatic performance. Grasping the dopy mood of the film from the balls, the actors dive themselves so deep in their characters that it is like like living the experience in reality.
Must watch this : on a Saturday, right before you go to a house party, with a glass of Southern Comfort. At the party, try to get as wasted as you can and don't leave until someone is dead or it is already 12 of the next morning. In the early morning hours that everyone is exhausted and wasted, set the mood with that jammy shit and some joints.
