Curiosidades
The movie is the end result of conflicting projects of director Jesús Franco and the producers. «I started doing a movie that was titled "Gente del rio", in which appeared Mengele who was hidden there, and was wonderfully played by Howard Vernon. "Gente del rio" was a film about some fishermen who live in a town in Central America and know that Mengele lives there, but nobody dares to come up to him. Until some of them attempt to catch him. The movie is their fight to get hold of that bastard. And they get him. It was based on persons I met in Brazil, former Nazis who lived like gods on some fucking rural estates, and what I wanted was to show the clash between these people and the humble people of the river. But the producer wanted to give more importance to the character of Mengele, but in Andrea Bianchi's shabby action movie way. I did not want to do that with that character, who is a sinister and sordid type, but who must be given another treatment, not as if he was a street whore. So I abandoned the film, and in the end I left it. I did not finish it, nor did I want to finish it, because it was wrong, and I did not want it to appear out there on video. Almost all the material that I did with the Italians is like this, they did me a thousand dirty tricks, everything went wrong, and that's why I have never admitted the film as mine. » - Interview of July 23, 2009, in "Jess Franco: de los márgenes al cine de autor. Análisis del relato cinematográfico", Tesis doctoral. Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2009. (translated from Spanish and slightly edited)

The movie opens with a seaside view of Benidorm, Spain, and the inserted title «Villarica, Paraguay» naming the location. There is a Villarica in Paraguay, but this is a landlocked country.

Angel of Death's sheer awfulness compels you to keep watching, if only to witness how much worse it can get

I recently watched the French film 🇫🇷 Angel of Death (1985) on Tubi. The plot follows a commando unit dispatched to South America to capture the notorious Nazi, Dr. Mengele, who continues his sinister experiments on the locals. The mission: infiltrate Mengele's compound and deliver justice.

Directed by Andrea Bianchi (Maniac Killer), the film features performances by Christopher Mitchum (Big Jake), Fernando Rey (French Connection), Howard Vernon (Delicatessen), and Dora Doll (Maniac Killer).

Angel of Death is one of those movies that's so bad it's strangely captivating. While the premise and settings offer potential for an authentic thriller, the execution falls short. The shootouts provide some entertainment, albeit with dated flair, and are arguably the film's highlight. However, the wardrobe choices leave much to be desired, with instances like a character sporting boat shoes and wool socks that distract from the narrative. The portrayal of "Nazis" feels superficial, lacking the authenticity of proper uniforms and relying on arm bands and plainclothes. Sniper scenes feature peculiar visual effects, while dirt bike sequences elicit unintended laughter. The martial arts scenes are particularly cringe-worthy. The martial arts expert🥋 commando literally kicks a guy into the pool in his big action scene, like you'd do with your friends as a kid. The makeup and bandages on the experimental subjects are more likely to induce laughter than horror.

In conclusion, Angel of Death's sheer awfulness compels you to keep watching, if only to witness how much worse it can get. I'd rate it a 3/10 and suggest giving it a single viewing, if only for only the experience. 😂
