Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesThis film, despite bearing a 1963 copyright date, was actually released five years later in 1968. The original theatrical version of the film, The Madmen of Mandoras (1963), was combined with new footage of "CID" agents Vic and Toni shot entirely for the new version of the film, which was released to television and retitled "They Saved Hitler's Brain". The Vic and Toni footage was obviously shot five years later, because the hairstyles and fashions seen in them did not become popular until the late 1960s.
- Erros de gravaçãoMany "nighttime" scenes in this film were obviously shot in bright, shadow-casting daylight (with dubbed cricket chirping on the soundtrack).
- Citações
Adolf Hitler: Mach schnell! Mach schnell!
- ConexõesEdited from A Lei da Montanha (1958)
- Trilhas sonorasTheme from The Devil's Hand

Getting that awful joke out of the way, let me explain.
This film exists in two forms. THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN is the much worse of the two. Avoid at all costs.
But, MADMEN OF MANDORAS is a hilarious little sci-fi/exploitation B-movie, well worth your time. Please see my more extensive review under that title.
The film was released as MADMEN OF MANDORAS in 1963 and did play in theaters. Posters and lobby cards were made. It probably played in drive-in theaters and ratty city grindhouses on the bottom of double bills.
Around 1972, additional footage was added and the movie released again (probably to television) as THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN. I guess to sell it to TV the movie needed to be a little longer. What a mess. The two different groups of footage do NOT mesh together at all.
But MADMEN OF MANDORAS, recently released by BCI in their Starlite Drive-In Theater series of DVDs, (from the original negative!) is worth getting for fans of schlocky 60's grade-Z trash. Sure, the plot is insane, the film is loaded with every cliché about Latin America that ever came out of Poverty Row Hollywood, and the Hitler head in a jar (not just brain, entire head; it actually even speaks and yells a little) isn't even remotely scary, it's just hilarious.
Fans of Ed Wood films and similar low budget trash will be in heaven here with the stilted dialog, mind-boggling plot machinations and perfunctory grade-B acting, with plenty of phony Spanish accents. MADMEN OF MANDORAS sits on my shelf with pride, right alongside Plan Nine, Robot Monster and Mesa of Lost Women. Quaff a few adult beverages, and enjoy.

Madmen of Mandoras: Nine Stars! Get it!
