Heres a movie that has it all: mad scientists, Mexican wrestlers and a monstrous man-ape who rampages across Mexico ogling showering senoritas. A very loose remake of director Rene Cardonas earlier Doctor Of Doom (1963), Night Of The Bloody Apes throws in as much sex and cheap gore as it can to appeal to the international market, even adding some scenes of actual open heart surgery. Those scenes aside, the effects are otherwise laughably cheap, and the ape-mans make-up will inspire chuckles even as he tears apart another victim. Incredibly, the movie was deemed likely to deprave and corrupt British viewers, so it was added to the video nasties list in December 1983. In 1993, an uncut version was mistakenly distributed by Vipco, only to be withdrawn again days later.
