Agreed. This movie was so beautifully shot. Her revenge was so liberating at first, but I loved how he was able to break away from his mother in the end.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Followed it up with Holy Moutain, which I just couldn't get into. But, I am going to give El Toppo a whirl sometime soon.

I bought it on a bootleg DVD at a con last year. I never expected to get a good dvd release let alone a blue ray.

I think El Topo is Jodorowsky's best film.

I watched about half of it on Netflix a couple weeks ago but turned it off shortly after that. I really should finish it.

I have Santa Sangre in a beautiful singaporean DVD set with an extra disc, i bought it off ebay a few years back, wasnt sure if it was legit but turns out to be an official release.
Santa Sangre along with eyes without a face are my two favourite not just horror but favourite movies of all time. I found SS to be pure poetry and an incredibly sweet story, the mime girl is just adorable. Plus Jodorowsky's visuals rival Suspiria.
I also love all his other work, i managed to get a boxset of his with Holy Mountain, El Topo, Fando & Lis and and a short film he did called La Cravate which is pretty funny and interesting, i recommend checking it out. all quality blazing movies too.

Got my hands on El Topo at the local library. I ended up falling asleep about 1/2 way thru, only because I was tired tho. I did enjoy what I saw and will have to give it another go, but this time before midnight. As for Santa Sangre, it just hit the shelves last wk at the local DVD store where I rent. Will try to watch it this wk end.

True. I can do a really good Schwarzenegger "eeeyiiieeeyyieee" though. And I'm the balls with "Run! Go! Get to da choppah!"

Yeah usually i'd agree but El Topo is the exception.. It's such a quoteable movie and you can't really do that if you watch it in spanish.. but either way both versions are great.
both spanish and english are the original languages cause they were done simultaneously

Luckily for me, I comprehend Spanish fluently. Speaking it, that's another thing entirely.

Dude, I can name five of my favorite sub fuck ups right off the top of my head, all taken from HK flicks:

"She burst one ball of mine."

"I've got knife scars more than the number of your leg's hair."

"I'm not! I'm!"

"You fatty with your thick jaw have fractured my instep."

"Brother, my pants are coming out."

I'm the same. I do enjoy some of the inconsistencies between dubs and subtitles on certain films though - you know - the goofy ones LOL
