Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis 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.
- GoofsMany "nighttime" scenes in this film were obviously shot in bright, shadow-casting daylight (with dubbed cricket chirping on the soundtrack).

Featured review
Got around to finally watching this film the other night. Let me just say that I love bad films. I just get a kick out of them and while I am fully aware that they are bad, for the most part, they are still fun to watch. Not this one!!! I'm sure we all know the story behind this movie. It's actually two films spliced into one and combines a 1950's Nazi/Exploitation/Sci-Fi movie with some sort of espionage 1960's outing. The result is a mess and an incredibly tough experience to get through. Again, if there was a fun factor to it, I probably would have been entertained but the thing was so boring and seemed to drag on forever that I had a tough time staying awake. A lot of rambling dialogue that can be laugh inducing with a few beers I suppose but other then that, forget it. What was so weird is how the characters from the first half of the film were either disposed of or never to be seen or heard from again as the second half got going. They just disappeared as the action shifted to Mandoras. The best thing about the movie and what was really hilarious were the images of Bill Freed as the head of Adolph Hitler. The only thing he ever utters is "mach schnell! mach schnell!" and he only does that one time. Still, Freed's silent facial expressions and gyrations did have me laughing. If you want a "so bad, it's good" kind of experience, stick with Ed Wood because this one is really a total bore.
