Overview

A young man discovers that he was adopted, and that his father was really a superhero named Copperhead. Like anyone who finds out such blood runs in his veins, he dons the Copperhead mask and goes into action. First on his list is the nefarious, mustached Dr. Satan, who has plans to steal technology that will let him control the world’s robots and electronics. This technology belongs to a kindly professor and his pretty daughter, whose safety is now in Copperhead’s hands. As he fights to bring the villain down, he finds time to enjoy the numerous Turkish beauties who disrobe for him.

Length 84 minutes

Viewing Notes

Apparently a remake of an old Republic Serial called The Mysterious Dr. Satan, this cray, weird Turkish film from the Seventies is chock full of nonsensical plot and action, and a whole lot of fun to watch! It does very much feel like a Republic Serial.

The plot involves an evil cruelly mustachioed guy named Dr. Satan who tries to steal a device that allows anyone to remote control machines and robots. A masked superhero (ala the Santo Mexican wrestler/superhero films) named Copperhead and his Sherlock Holmes-like comedy sidekick must stop Dr. Satan. Throw in some robots built out of cardboard boxes and silver spray paint, and plenty of Turkish women who like to disrobe for our hero, and you’ve got yourselves… The Deathless Devil!

Seriously, after that description how can you NOT watch this movie?!

The picture quality isn’t the best and the aspect ratio is 4x3, but honestly, I think we’re lucky any sort of print of this survived long enough to be put onto DVD.

This was one movie on a double feature disc released by Mondo Macabre, the other movie being Tarkan vs. The Vikings. Also on the disc is a documentary about Turkish cinema. There are also some notes about the films themselves that are worth reading.
