Ópalo de fuego: Mercaderes del sexo

Jess Franco is never going to be regarded as a Kubrick but many of his films do have a certain something. On many occasions that 'something' was Lina Romay who always 'perked' proceedings up.

This isn't one of Franco's 'better' movies but it is ruined completely by one of the worst english dub tracks I've heard. I much prefer to watch films in the original language with subtitles and this proves why. The stereotypical voices, turgid screams and totally uninterested delivery just turns this in to a complete waste of time and effort

I've often wondered how many Cult films from the 60's/70's could be improved if they were re-cut with modern voiceover acting teams.

Sometimes the charm of a bad dubbing track can make a movie funnier but this one just made my teeth grate. It truly is horrendous.

I intend to seek out the Spanish version of this to see if it improves things.
