Lines: 25 From: WEISMAN, WILLIAM D. Although they aren't exactly science fiction, the Mexican SAMSON series of films are notable for their excruciating badness and unintentional hilarity. I believe they were made in the late 50's or early 60's at the Churubusco studios in Mexico, and then dubbed into english for the American market by K. Gordon Murray. SAMSON AND THE VAMPIRE WOMEN is the one title I can recall; it still shows up sometimes on late night TV in L.A. Samson, our hero, is a professional wrestler by day and a scourge of evildoers by night. He runs around dressed in a mask, cape, and leotard (the same outfit he wears in the ring) his beer belly hanging out over his belt. Every time he gets into a fight with the bad guys, they beat the crap out of him. Definitely worth seeing if it comes your way.
