I've never heard of that one Hex!
I will have a look at my copies of both films.

Hell's got a Blues festival and a Miss Universe... not a bad place, Hell.

perhaps even funnier, the name of the town is: Hell, NO

seems to be some awfully divided opinions on this one, guess i'll have to rent it and find out

hmm.. then again, the release on netflix seems to have the worst possible transfer, possibly ruining the movie.. maybe i'll have to hold off..

I'll have to add my voice to the rest of the naysayers. The movie has a very promising beginning, then it becomes a mess. One would have expected that a movie with Telly Savalas, Martin Landau, Robert Shaw, Stella Stevens, Fernando Rey, Aldo Sambrell, etc would be something great. But alas, those otherwise excellent actors got stuck with what I think was a combination of poor direction, poor photography and a crappy script. The result: an almost unwatchable movie. 

3.5 out of 10.

Watched this tonight on Netflix it was a pan & scan version but it did have some good performances from some pretty good actors (I could actually stand Telly Savalas in this, lol) although the script was a mess and the acting somewhat wasted and I'm not all sure I saw the complete film though it did run 98 minutes which is close to what Imdb lists. It just seems all chopped up and disjointed in story.
