(1967) Paul Stevens, Claudie Lange, John Heston. Every so often we come across a movie that is so bad it nearly defies description.  Flashman is one of those movies.  Flashman is actually a spoiled British Royal who doesn’t have any superpowers or gadgetry whatsoever—so what’s the point of the costume?  There are lots of villains running around, including a mafiosa type guy who kills a scientist for his invisibility formula, then robs banks while he’s invisible...

(1958, Upgraded 11/6/21) John Ashley, Donald Murphy, Sally Todd, Harold Lloyd Jr, Sandra Knight. Murphy plays a crazed (and extremely arrogant) descendant of the original Dr. Frankenstein.
