Monster of the Day #3230

Updated on June 2, 2021 By Ken Begg 5 Comments

Gamera mentioned Oily Maniac the other day, which from this still looks like the proto-Toxic Avenger. I was only vaguely aware of it, as I’ve seen it recommended in my Amazon Prime queue. However, now seeing that it is a Shaw Brothers film from 1976–all practical effects–makes me really want to watch it. Thanks, Gamera!

    Thanks Ken! It’s no classic or anything but I thought the monster would fit into the MotD mold pretty well.

    I’m really interested in where Eric H, commented it ‘was based on a true story’ though!

  • That looks like a slick flick.

    I saw that on Prime! They said it was ‘based on a true story’, which has me wondering what the heck?

    And fitting into the MoTD mold? This guy looks like he is mold!

    I just realized NOBODY made a Lt Yar joke. Weird.
