“Beautiful Girls, Driven by a Lust for Blood”



I came across this trailer in the Permission to Kill blog, and just couldn’t help sharing. During the 1960s, at the height of James Bond’s initial film popularity, moviemakers were shameless in their efforts to create comparable fictional spies. One of those, apparently, was secret agent Alex Dynamo (his last name alone tells you how cheesy his adventures were). Played by Julio Alemán, Dynamo was the subject of at least two Latin American films. The first one was called SOS Conspiracion Bikini (1967), with the sequel being Peligro ...! Mujeres en acción (1969)--or, as it was known in an English-dubbed version, Danger Girls. I fear that not even the bikinis would make this whole movie watchable. But I could be wrong.

“Thrilling! Of endless action! Blood-chilling reality! Hair-raising suspense! Danger Girls!”

I love the "Batman" saxophones that start playing during the "On the land!" section. And since when do we get 4 minute trailers nowadays?
