Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Connoisseurs of bad movies rank this execration as an all-time favorite, rivaling Ed Wood's infamous Plan 9 from Outer Space as the worst film of all time. The trouble began in the early 1950s when a film called Madmen of Mandoras was shot and shelved for no mysterious reason at all. The film boasted the great cinematographer, Stanley Cortez (The Magnificent Ambersons), whose gorgeously evocative photography makes a startling contrast to the inexplicable plot with which it seems to coexist. But that wasn't bad enough, so in the early 1960s some UCLA film students shot additional footage, somewhat differently styled (think Mod Squad meets cinéma vérité porno), and intercut it with the original film as if the two were meant for each other. The resultant jumble concerns a pair of modish CID agents on the trail of a kidnapped scientist, Nerve Gas-G, an antidote, the resurgence of the Fourth Reich on the Caribbean island of Mandoras, and Hitler's severed head barking orders from a jar. Here are but a few of the absurdities awaiting you: The swastika is backward, one obtuse character has to pull the car over to discover that her partner was shot even though she was present at the event, and when Hitler's head bites the big one, it melts. Critic J. Hoberman, in his seminal article, Bad Movies, observed that this film fairly makes the brain explode with ideas. Not only that, but aneurysms. You'll be screaming, "Mein Kopf! Mein Kopf!" just as Hitler's head should have, if only there had been the budget for that. --Jim Gay



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - They Saved Hitler's Brain
It's pure trash!It's not supposed to be funny but if you want to laugh a lot watch this movie!
"A group of Nazi survivors somehow manage to save Hitler's brain. In an attempt to revive the Fuhrer's pickled bean, they kidnap a prominent transplanter. So awful, it's a hoot!" (Rotten Tomatoes)



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not kitschy or ridiculous enough
As a fan of MST3K, I thought this would provide an evening of distracted laughs. It did not. When people see your DVD collection, this might add some interest and depth, but as far as actually viewing it, you might want the internet and some checkbook balancing activities to do.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ten Thumbs up!!! A Cinematic Tour d'Force!!!
No better representation of the cinematic art of 'avant noir' has yet to surpass this stylictic post-modern cult masterpiece. Under the sheer directorial genius of David Bradley (Julius Ceaser, Dragstrip Riot), "THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN" should long remain an immortal classic.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great RPG!!! wait.... it's no video game?
Seems like a good idea for a Role Playing Game just like "Maniac Mansion" or "Day of the tentacle". Oh, just forget you read this.
By the way: I have not seen the movie but really love to see it become a game by lucasart.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - With a wife like you who needs a girlfriend?
Oh what a hoot. I'm giving this film 5 stars for a different reason. Movies that are so bad they are 'good' make my day. 'Cat Women of the Moon', 'Plan 9 from Outer Space', and 'Robot Monster' all have a certain charm that exceeds the actual film. 'They saved Hitler's Brain' is another such movie. I give it 5 stars when thrown on with other famous bad movies, it holds it's own. It has everything a bad movie fan could want. An inane plot, mediocre acting at best, and the over the top 'not so special' ... Read More
