Viaje a Bangkok, ataúd incluido (1985) [Castellano] rare Jess Franco Edgar Wallace film, Spanish with Programable English subtitles.




This films is not an Edgar Wallace adaptation. It is, rather, a remake of Franco's 1966 Eurospy, CARTES BOCCA ARRIBA/CARTES SUR TABLE/ATTACK OF THE ROBOTS, released on Blu-ray in 2019, in French with English subtitles and an English language track option. Commentary track by Tim Lucas. It begins as a scene by scene remake of the earlier film, but changes the story to bring in a mind-control cult which uses drugs and rituals instead of a technological system to turn victims into robot-assassins. There's a lot less action in this film, which is in color. The black and white 1966 film somewhat suffers because the skin of the robots does not change color when shut down.
