I present...Mutant Drill...

We've already covered the amazing and bizarre Super Infra-Man (1975).  Today's quickie is of the aforementioned villainous Mutant Drill.  I feel my rendering gave him more physical distinction than he has in the movie where he's a tad more amorphously blobby.  Sadly a sole sketch can't convey the strange movement the actor saddles with this giant rubber outfit had to suffer through...Still and all, one of cheese-dom's greater villains.

Princess Dragon Mom...

This sketch isn't of the evil villainess I used to title this entry.  It's merely one of her mutant henchman from the bizarre Shaw Bros. knock-off of Ultraman, Super Infra-Man (1975).  If you never saw this one as a kid or aren't quite the trash cinephile I find myself being from time to time, it's essentially a bizarre, incoherent mess about ancient demons wreaking havoc on the earth, until a super-scientist creates a bionic man to fight the evil.  It's far less Lovecraft than it sounds...and is more rubber monsters in a kung-fu movie with a certain hint of the 60's Batman TV show.    Now you might say, "But, Ry-Guy (I hate it when you call me that), Ultraman wasn't exactly Ingmar Bergman."  No...no he wasn't, but on the sliding scale, this pushes him much farther in that direction.  Ah yes...Witch-Eye was what the subtitles called her...
