Michael O'Keefe A very low-budget science fiction thriller...too bad to be true; well you know what I mean. Also known as THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN. A bit confusing for not being rocket science. Nations are in fear of a deadly poison called "G Gas". Only one person on earth has an antidote and that is Professor John Coleman(John Holland), who has been kidnapped and taken to Mandaros(a fictional South American country). Zealous Nazi officials at the end of WWII removed the living head of Adolf Hitler and relocated in Mandaros in hopes of resurrecting the Third Reich. The surviving German madmen have the idea that Professor Coleman can keep Hitler's brain alive in order to proceed in the attempt of conquering the world. This 64 minute film is directed by David Bradley and the cast includes: Walter Stocker, Marshall Reed, Audrey Caire, Dani Lynn, Carlos Rivas and Bill Freed as Hitler's head.

johnc2141 I watched both the madmen of mandoras and they saved Hitlers brain with the 70's edits,and i thought it was quite entertaining.not as bad as they say.but its no masterpiece but it is better made then the other bad films;plan 9 from outer space and robot monster.i never knew this was from crown international pictures,which made quality low budget pictures like American international did in the 50's,60's and 70's.with the morbid plot of Hitlers head in a jar still living.madmen of mandoras is a creepy movie full of red herrings,Nazis and secret agents in mandoras south America.i always wanted to see this and they saved Hitlers brain and finally seen it,and ill have to say i enjoyed it.madmen of mandoras has a longer scene at the end of the movie.not giving away spoilers thank you.but saying madmen of mandoras is a bad film would be an injustice.as a b-movie its pretty enjoyable,make some popcorn throw a party and entertain your guests with madmen of mandoras.look for actor nester paiva as a policeman,nester paiva has been in many monster movies including;creature from the black lagoon,mole people and 20 million miles to earth.madmen of mandoras is available on a DVD set called drive in classics(all from crown international)also included on this DVD is;the creeping terror,they saved Hitlers brain,the devils hand,land of the Minotaur and a few more mini classics,all recently restored.5 out of 10 check it out. and beware of Mr h.

orb-2 Originally titled Madmen of Mandoras, this was supposed to be a political paranoid thriller along the lines of The Manchurian Candidate, with a respectable budget and moody wide-screen cinematography, but halfway through principal filming in 1963 it was shut down and shelved. Somehow this film and one of its supporting actors ended up in a nameless cheapie studio in 1973, and got completed with grainy, shaky, cropped photography, a cast wearing shag hair and mini skirts and driving groovy convertibles, and cheap electric-piano and twitchy-guitar cop-show music that tries to sound like Shaft or Dirty Harry, all anachronistic and mismatched to the already-then outdated original. This film then, with the copyright date and credits of 1963, and a running time of barely one hour, went straight to sindicated TV release in the late 1970's as They Saved Hitler's Brain. This is an obvious chop-shop job. The original project's sheer preposterousness still impresses, with an unusual portrayal of You-Know-Who with an actor sticking his head into a glass tank through a hole in a table for closeups, and a puppet head in that infamous pickle jar for the long shots. Some connoisseurs of the worst should be rewarded if they're able to stick it out for the whole hour.

MooCowMo Well, they saved enough to make a wax head in a pickle jar shout out "Hogan's Hero's"-styled German to a bunch of scurrying lab assistants. Of the many, many, MANY bad films released during the 60's, few can rival the amazingly boring and incowherent non-energy of "They Saved Hitler's Brain". Huge, indigestible chunks of film debris from other films are awash in this film, like so much flotsum. Legend has it that at least 2 moovies were ground together to make up this one film, but there may be more - and the MooCow is here to tell you that they only ground together the moore boring and irrelevant scenes. Seriously, this is a film were virtually nothing happens. Except for scenes showing the grimacing "Mr. H.", this wad of celluloid is completely worthless. The MooCow's favorite scene: idiot #1 and his girlfrend are driving idiot #2 around for no reason; a car drives by, shoots idiot #2 dead, and drives off; idiot #1 looks at the dead idiot #2 and says "what happened?"; idiot #1's girlfriend says "I think he's been shot". Guess the car that blared by, with blazing guns, didn't quite register. Since the film is virtually plotless, the MooCow cannot provide you with even a cursory explaination as to what;s going on, excet that in the end the wax Hitler head gets melted, and the world is saved. This moovie is moore an endurance test than a film; schlock-fans, remember those boring 15 minutes of soybean fields at the beginning of "Manos: the Hands of Fate"? Well, imagine an entire moovie made up of that. We're not kidding! :€ No one in this film is worth mentioning, except the hideously poor direction was provided by David Bradley, the "genius" behind "Twelve to the Moon". The MooCow says avoid this film like a pre-frontal lobotomy, for serious film masochists only!! :=8P
