Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #126!
Schizoid (Cannon Films, 1980)
My movie buddy Richard and I attempted this late one night when it aired on HBO at his house back in high school - and for whatever reason we talked all through it and never got hooked, so consequently I have no idea if the movie is any good or not. It is due out on disc soon, however, or maybe it's already out; either way I should get a chance to really sit down and watch this soon.
Madmen of Mandoras (Crown International Pictures, 1963)
This extremely goofy 1963 spy drama was already silly enough - but that didn't stop someone taking the bulk of this movie and adding scenes shot five years later, resulting in that deathless title "They Saved Hitler's Brain!" I own both versions, you know, in case you feel the need to compare them.
Big Zapper (Levitt-Pickman, 1974)
It's British and it's about a tough female private eye and now you know as much about it as I do! Of course, I'm all for seeing it!
Until next post you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

"Big Zapper" has the strangest pose I've ever seen on a movie poster.
ReplyDeleteShe really seems to have taken a load off!
DeleteHa, I've seen "They Saved Hitler's Brain" and omg, it sucked!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, and I think it's the better of the two versions!
DeleteSchizoid - Klaus... was a creepy, yes creepy dude.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid so - when the closest thing you had to a best friend makes a documentary about you after you die and calls it "My Best Fiend" - you're probably pretty damned creepy.
Deletehaha, I read the first bit about schizoid...My movie buddy Richard and I attempted this late one night when it aired...and thought you meant posing with the scissors! I must need sleep :)p.s the poster alone scares me!
ReplyDeleteWeirdly, even while I was typing that I knew it would get referred to in some fashion down here - no, we were good kids and didn't play with scissors! Thanks for coming by and for commenting!
DeleteAh yes, Schizoid. I remember not remembering that one...
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you remember you forgot!
DeleteBig Zapper LOL! Linda Marlow is totally styled 1970s...the hair, the clothes, the shoes. She's a Charlie's Angel!
ReplyDeleteShe really is - that great stylized graphic from the show!
