(1983) Paul Naschy, Shigeru Amachi, Beatriz Escudero, Gérard Tichy, Violeta Cela. Paul’s ninth werewolf movie, and one of the most interesting. It’s a marriage between gothic, supernatural horror and martial arts thrills. Paul goes to Japan, searching for an all-wise sage who may have a cure for his lycanthropy. Paul puts the bite on many victims. There is a TON of martial arts action, including a great duel between Paul (in werewolf makeup) and an evil, sword-wielding oriental sorceress. There’s also another cool scene where werewolf Paul takes on a man-eating tiger. Rated R for violence and nudity. Beautiful color, from 35mm.
