El Clon De Hitler (2003)
*Foreword*:
I first wrote this review in 2012 on the old blog and afterwards I had a nice conversation with director Christian Gonzalez via Skype. I mentioned I watched El Clon De Hitler and he told me in great detail that he really hated this movie and only directed it for the work. He had no closeness to it then and for anyone now labeling this as one of his "masterpieces" is truly distasteful. And not even in the way he would've wanted it.
In the beginning of El Clon De Hitler, Hitler's Clone (Ivan Nevelitchki) marches the scummy streets of Mexico City. He marches while old nazi footage is seen & heard. Hitler's obese follower "Tomcat" (Alejandro Vega) joins him in the "march" and then raids a taco stand. Hitler's Clone hates it when Tomcat eats tacos! He hates it so much, that he pinches his nipples for eating so many damn tacos. Poor, poor Tomcat! After nipple pinching Tomcat—we meet Hitler's 2 daughters. One daughter looks like a Cradle of Filth groupie, the other daughter looks normal & pretty. Both girls may be different, but they both equally love & respect their "powerful" father.
Next up we meet 2 people that are always at the market that Hitler controls!
"Irons" (Alan Ciangherotti) is a nasty looking vagrant that loves Hitler to death and he keeps an eye out for whatever is going down in the streets. Then there is "Russia", whom is the godmother of Hitler's goth daughter. She too loves Hitler to death. Russia's job is to control part of the indoor market and sells raw chickens there. In one scene of the movie, we see her cutting up chicken feet with large scissors. That scene is the most disgusting part of the movie..
After meeting Hitler's crew, we are introduced to his enemies! The 1st and most obvious one is his 'wife'. Hitler's wife hates his guts. I would explain why, but I'd rather not since I feel it's pointless to do so (seriously). Since she hates Hitler & all, she begins to date a corrupt cop who is plotting to kill Hitler and his crew.
Will the cop succeed in killing Hitler & crew?
Will Hitler not be killed and take over Mexico? Will Tomcat eat more tacos?
The answer to those questions are right here!
The cop kills Hitler. The death of Hitler is so emotional (pathetic actually).. We see his bloody body hanging while we see "sad" nazi footage playing right in front of him.
Well, he obviously dies, but his death is avenged in a sequel movie called Darketos. Do I plan on watching Darketos anytime soon? Nah.
Tomcat unfortunately doesn't get to eat more tacos. He gets shot down by the cop. It's sad.. Very sad. I liked Tomcat. Tomcat may have been a fat buffoon, but he was very likable & very kind. The next time I go to a taco stand, I will think about Tomcat. the first bite of the taco will be for him.
El Clon De Hitler is an epic failure in low budget Mexican filmmaking. The acting is awful, the setting is ugly as sin, and the story doesn't make any damn sense! Even director Christian Gonzalez admits that this movie is an epic failure and he continues to do so whenever its brought up somewhere.
Surprisingly, El Clon De Hitler got a very decent DVD release here in the USA. The DVD has English subtitles! Good subtitles, too! If you're very curious to see this Mexican Hitler clone shitfest, buy the DVD then.
Try buying it for a dollar or less.
