"Think you've seen it all? Then maybe you should try:
*The Turkish version of Star Trek
*Indonesian torture scenes in which the victim sniffs smelly shoes
*The Curious Dr. Humpp or Bruce Lee Versus Gay Power
*kung fu-fighting gorilla flicks from Southeast Asia
*a song-and-dance version of Dracula from India
Mondo Macabro features the same thorough(ly twisted) insights into cinema's most bizarre elements as were to be found in the author's book on European films, Immoral Tales. Lavishly illustrated and painstakingly researched, Mondo Macabro boldly goes into the exotic, erotic eclectic and essential international film scene...and the results are amazing."
