6. Night Of The Bloody Apes
Night of the Bloody Apes came from Mexico in 1972, an English language remake of a film that came out three years earlier. A mad scientist (why aren't there ever any normal scientists in these kinds of films?) is desperately trying to save his dying son. He gives him a gorilla heart transplant, which keeps him alive but has the unfortunate side effect of turning him into a grunting, murderous brute. After indulging in a rape and murder rampage, he is eventually caught and brought to justice by a luchadora, or female wrestler. And yes, it's more or less exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. Unfortunately, this film also suffers from terribly awkward dialogue, only exacerbated by the fact that it was translated word for word from Spanish. Imagine that you took an already subpar script, typed it into Google Translate, printed it out, and handed it to a bunch of actors. Night of the Bloody Apes is pretty much that. With rape and murder. Need proof? This is a piece of actual dialogue from the film that was spoken by an actual actor who somehow managed to keep a straight face: "I'll say that's absurd! The proofs are circumstantial! It's more probable that of late, more and more you're watching on your television many of those pictures of terror!"
