3. Acción Mutante (1993)
"Mutante, Mutante, Mutante!"
Acción Mutante is a darkly comic science fiction fantasy about a group of bumbling terrorist mutants.
When their leader Ramon is finally released from jail, he is dismayed by the constant failure of his team to execute any plans effectively. He wastes no time in hatching a new plan, to kidnap the daughter of a billionaire businessman, a plan that's sure to make them all rich.
Inevitably the plan goes to pieces, some of the team are lost and as the surviving mutants escape through space with their hostage, it seems that Ramon hasn't been quite so open about the ransom money or his plan...
Acción Mutante has a cast of wonderfully weird characters, plenty of witty dialogue, slapstick, farce, tragedy and explosive action, all set against a grimy, post-apocalyptic backdrop. Despite being a Spanish language film, the humour is certainly not lost in translation.
There's no argument to be had here, Acción Mutante is an iron-clad cult classic that everyone needs to see.
