VIAJE A BANGKOK, ATAUD INCLUIDO (1985)

This films is not an Edgar Wallace adaptation. It is, rather, something of aremake 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. 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. It does however bear some simiilarites of the Edgar Wallace story THE DEAD EYES OF LONDON and the films which were adapted from it. Above all it registers as Franco's final attempt at making an Edgar Wallace adaptation.
