15 Action Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious
4. Doctor Of Doom (1962)
Assisted by Gomar, an ape with a human brain, Professor Ruiz kidnaps young women for his brain transplant experiments, but one of his victims turns out to be the sister of Gloria Venus, Mexicos most famous female wrestler, who teams up with her colleague Golden Rubi to take revenge. Words alone cannot express how much dumb, delirious fun this movie is to watch: as well as the expected bad dubbing and obvious stunt doubles, theres some hilariously awful makeup and a hammy villain whose motivation appears to have been to give Vincent Prices Dr Goldfoot a run for his money. Strangest of all (discuss) is the sequence where the Prof transplants Gomars brain into the body of a luchadora named Vendetta before sending her (him?) to kill our heroines.
