MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Michael Ledo A playboy picks up women, takes them to his get-away and then later turns them into cat food. The first to get it is Christa, played by Christa Linder who was Miss Austria 1962. Dorgo, the creepy bald butler was excellently portrayed by Gerardo Zepeda, long time actor with 137 movie credits to his name. Abraham Cruz, one of my favorite sound editors knows something about music as he brings us a fine combination of 50-70's soundtrack bites. He is experienced with 81 films, who would you rather have? Hugo Stiglitz stars as Hugo, the playboy who picks up women. With 224 movie titles to his credit including "Zombie Apocalypse" (1985), Nightmare City (1980) it is historical to see one of his earlier creations. Written, directed and produced by the great René Cardona Jr. (98 film credits) he would later team up with other members of this extraordinary cast to make "The Treasure of the Amazon" (1985)!Hugo cruises the city in his helicopter looking for chicks the way a teen cruises the town in an old Ford. For mental stimulation Hugo plays Dorgo in chess and I don't think either one knows anything about the game. With 4 badly placed black pieces on the board, Hugo is able to "checkmate" Dorgo, who has at least 4 moves to get out of it. In one scene Hugo tosses a rope ladder out of his helicopter expecting a woman to just climb on in. What I really enjoyed were the muscle machines everyone drove in this film. To be honest, I have never seen a pride of kittens hunt and kill in a pack. Just an amazing movie all around. 5 stars on the MST 3000 scale.Sex, Brief Nudity (Christa Linder) WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WATCH UNLESS IN AN ALTERED STATE.

Rainey Dawn There are some scenes where real cats are used cruelly -- He dunked a real cat under water in a swimming pool -held it down, throwing a real cat... if they had of used fake cats then I would not have minded - we get the idea that the guy is cat crazy and cruel at the same time without hurting real cats. I do NOT believe in hurting real animals over a freaking film.Yea I would have liked this one a little better without the cruelty... and so many helicopter scenes (that's how he does it, flies around in his chopper to find women to woo, kill and feed his cats plus himself).Once with this film is enough for me... I barely made it to the ending with him being cruel to real cats.1/10

Coventry In case you're a fan of "The Simpsons" (and who honestly isn't?), you probably are familiar with the hilarious supportive character of Crazy Cat-Lady. This totally dysfunctional and rather uncanny woman surrounds herself with an army of cats and even uses them as artillery to throw at people. Well, the main character of this film – Hugo – is sort of like the richer, more civilized, male and cinematic equivalent of Crazy Cat-Lady! For completely unexplained reasons, Hugo keeps A LOT (but surely not a thousand) of cats in the basement of the family castle, and that's definitely not the only curious aspect of his life-style. Hugo has everything in life others could only dream of. He's filthy rich, supposedly good looking (although I personally think he looks too much like Daniel Stern), he has a giant castle with a hunchbacked servant, a fancy helicopter and oceans of time to spot & stalk ravishing women. And yet, despite all his wealth, Hugo is a sick man who collects people's heads in pickled jars and feeds the leftovers to his collection of loudly meowing cats. He seduces women by endlessly circling his helicopter over their houses, finally manages to take them home and then kills them after only one night of hot passionate sex. He repeats this strange ritual no less than four times throughout the film (at least, in the fully uncut version) before the ravenous pets break out of their lair and aggressively turn against their master. "Night of a 1.000 Cats" is an utterly dumb and pointless movie. I know not to expect too much from the Mexican exploitation efforts directed by René Cardona Jr., but this has got to be one of the most incoherent and plot-less films I ever endured. There isn't a single bit of elementary logic or depth in the script and the absence of continuity is almost infuriating! Why the hell is Hugo so upset with the world even though he's probably the luckiest man on the planet? Why start a collection of decapitated human heads if your ancestors always collected stamps? Why doesn't he ever get caught even though his modus operandi of picking up girls in a helicopter isn't exactly subtle or inconspicuous? Why on earth would someone keep an army of cats in his basement even though he clearly doesn't show any affection for animals? There sure are easier ways to get rid of cadavers. At least you'd expect a nonsensical and trashy film like this to be entertaining and over-the-top gory, but it really isn't. Most of the footage in the full version is intolerably tedious and unnecessary, like Hugo flying around in his helicopter and standing guard at the gates of women's houses. I noticed there's a 63 minutes version available, so in case you do want to see this film for some incomprehensible reason, make sure you purchase the short version. The full version certainly doesn't contain any more graphic violence, sleazy sex sequences or corpse-eating cat action, I guarantee you. The photography, editing and sound effects are all incredibly tacky and amateurish. Hugo Stiglitz is a lousy actor without the slightest bit of charisma, but still René Cardona seemed to enjoy working with him, as Stiglitz also appears in the terribly inane Jaws-rip off "Tintorera", "Treasure of the Amazon" and "The Bermuda Triangle". This turkey is one to avoid at all costs, unless you want mew harder than a serenade of a thousand cats.

darkmage_the_fixer I picked up a copy of this movie not really knowing what I was getting into. Hey, it was only $2. It's *baaad*, but I laughed all the way through it.I want that guy's house. It's an old monastery-and it's gorgeous, but tastelessly decorated. As a good Goth, it's also right up my abbey. Pun intended. The main character, in addition to having a totally expressionless face, is a ringer for those old composite sketches they did of the UnaBomber before they identified him as Ted Kazynski. Beard, moustache, and big square aviator shades that almost never leave his face.I thought the end of the movie was poetic justice. He was mean to this one white cat throughout the movie. I'm a cat lover, I hate to see cruelty to cats even if the cat is a cheap puppet that looks like a bathmat. Paybacks are a bitch, I guess.(Possible spoiler?) There is this one scene about a third of the way through the movie where the white cat jumps on top of the table during a meal. It looks way too much like the Vorpal Bunny in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If this film hadn't been made 2 years before Grail, I would have expected someone to leap up with "JAYSUS CHRIST!" and whip out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.And what was up with the Quasimodo dude? Thorko, I believe they called him. (Spoiler!!) I love when he beats the main character in a game of chess, Thorko bites it. Speaking of, I *want* that chess set they were playing with. I collect them, it was lovely.I noticed that when the cats were fed, they only used one sequence of the lead man grabbing shredded meat and tossing it to the cats. Look carefully, they reuse the same film about a dozen times.And finally at the end when the cats' pen was opened and all of them ran free, I was laughing until I cried. Something about that sequence of all the cats running around reminded me of the ReMax ad from hell.It's an absolutely abysmal movie. The characters are not believable, and in more than a few places the dubbing was really bad. But still, it's a treasured item in my Movies To Get Drunk To collection. If it were any longer than 63 minutes I doubt I'd find it as amusing.
