Got to see this movie dubbed on late night, after reading the plot i said hey why not.It start off with this hit-man who makes a deal with the worst band of Yakuza i have ever seen, to steal diamonds from a car but not to hurt anyone.He kills everyone and double crosses the yakuza and is Asian girlfriend, now that was funny instead of killing them all during the trading, he kills only 2 and lets the rest live.The most hilarious line follows, brother and sister (we will learn how to use guns and hunt him down.) hahahaa funniest line ever.So they try to kill him but he ends up getting really hurt in the mountain of Spain, he gets rescued by a doctor and is 2 daughters near the end we find out he had three.Positive if you like very good looking women this movie is it, some of the most beautiful women are in that movie, if you are looking for logic and a great movie its not it.I am not going to spoil the ending but you know something is fishy when you see a fat guy able to get all the super hot women...... so there you have it.

An Asian crime syndicate enlists the aid of Paul Naschy in a diamond heist, a choice they come to regret when he violently betrays them. He subsequently kills the syndicate leader, the daughter of whom he's been feigning a romantic interest. She shoots Naschy in a vengeful rage, but he escapes into the wilderness. Severely wounded with the cold hands of death upon him, he magically awakens in the personal care of an eccentric doctor and his two sexy daughters.At this point, the film switches gears, and what began seemingly as an action/crime film gives way to a disorienting hybrid of revenge thriller, lurid sexploitation drama, and gialliesque slasher mystery. The situational goings-on are quite strange, and while the film is rather carelessly paced and atrociously dubbed, it aptly manages to hold you by the throat straight up to its bizarre summation.This one takes some time to get the ball rolling, but once the stage is set, you may well be glad you stuck with it. All its inconsistencies aside, HUMAN BEASTS is a likable little dish of a very different flavor.5.5/10

Paul Naschy plays a cold, heartless man who thinks nothing of stabbing his close ties in the back, however sordid they may be. But when he wakes up in a countryside estate, rippled with bullets, being nursed back to health by a very unusual family, he begins to open up his heart and shed his evil ways. But can he escape the wrong doings of his past and his destiny? Be prepared for some crazy twists and turns in this original, entertaining thriller.Naschy wrote, directed and starred in this very strange film. Departing from his regular Gothic tales, this movie mixes double-crossing, revenge, Oriental mobs, killer pigs and voodoo to create a very unusual but tasty tale. Some very offbeat characters, a slight touch of comedy, some racial political incorrectness and several splashes of gore add just the right flavor. Bon Appetite!
