    It's also pretty dull.

    Jess Franco/Andrea Bianchi's “Angel of Death” AKA “Commando Mengele” (1987)

    Uncut master culled from the original 35mm camera negative.

    From the fevered mind of the notorious Jess Franco (BARBED WIRE DOLLS) comes 1987's ANGEL OF DEATH (aka COMMANDO MENGELE), a deranged free-fall into "Nazisploitaion" that takes its cues from the blockbuster 1978 shocker THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL and delivers the sort of delirium that fans of French genre film studio Eurocine hunger for! When an attractive pair of young Nazi hunters exploring Uruguay accidentally stumble upon the lair of the maniacal war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele, they immediately live to regret it. There, deep in the sweltering jungles, Mengele has continued his hideous human experiments, torturing, murdering and mutilating nubile virgins in the name of creating some sort of master race. Soon, mercenaries, monstrosities, femme fatales and vengeful concentration camp survivors face off, with bullets and bodies flying everywhere and Mengele holding cretinous court. Written by (under the name D. Khunn) and co-directed by Franco and completed by Italian trash movie maverick Andrea Bianchi (BURIAL GROUND: NIGHTS OF TERROR), the pair signed off on the film as "Frank Drew White", apparently too nervous to take credit for making this truly daft piece of unsavory exploitation. ANGEL OF DEATH is a fast-paced slice of vintage Eurocine mayhem, with an international cast that includes Franco regulars Jack Taylor, Antonio Mayans and Howard Vernon (as Mengele) along with Robert Mitchum's son Christopher and Shirley Knight from Franco's equally insane WHITE CANNIBAL QUEEN. Jump into the jungle with Jess and get ready for some prime cinematic insanity! Get ready for ANGEL OF DEATH, presented here in a beautiful, uncut master culled from the original 35mm camera negative."

    Stephen Thrower says this is:

    Not a Franco film.

    Not sure but they did mention that they would each have an installment of Thrower's 'In The Land Of Franco' documentaries.

    I just hope Severin don't choose to release those during a sale. Trying to buy Bahia Blanca and the limited Shining sex at a ridiculous time in the Uk almost sent me six foot under.

    I enjoyed it and I don't like eurospy! it's better than kiss me monster and two undercover angels for sure. I think rosalba wears a russian(?) uniform in this and there is a hilarious twist where one of the main girls turns out to be a transvestite IIRC.
    Dabnabbit, won't ship to US. :(

    Glad you like it! The whole score is terrific. I have it on a cd that also has KISS KISS BANG BANG and UPPERSEVEN L'UOMO DA UCCIDERE.

    The German release is the SHORTER (by 10 mins) German version though.

    Pidax have started to re-issue some of their titles on blu-ray. I don't own this, nor have ever seen it, but got to admit that clip draws me in. I may hang on a little to see if it hits blu.
