I saw this trailer for Mexsploitation cinematic oddity Night of the Bloody Apes at a drive-in movie in the 1970s with my parents and younger sister. I must have been all of 6 or 7 years old. We were watching a Hercules/Hercules Unchained double bill featuring Steve Reeves. Between films this lurid trailer came on. What an impression it left! Scared the crap out of me and I had vivid nightmares about bloody apes for some time afterward. Looking at it now, it just doesn’t seem quite as scary, but it sure is a lot funnier than I remember it being. Bare breasts, internals organs and, natch, wrestling, this one has it all. The film’s “production value” came in the form of several minutes of footage shot during an actual open heart surgery. That’s not exactly a “special effect” if you are squeamish!
