Two Undercover Angels / Kiss Me Monster (2Pc)

TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS: The Red Lips are Regina (Rosanna Yanni, the blonde) and Diana (Janine Reynaud, the redhead) a pair of statuesque female sleuths for hire. Their target is sinister artist Klaus Tiller (Adiran Hoven, the film's producer). He likes to pick up women at the local clubs, and then have his werewolf servant Morpho kill them while he snaps photos to use as reference for his paintings. When Tiller's wimpy art dealer (Jess Franco, the film's director) lets Diana steal one of the paintings for evidence, Klaus stabs him. Regina then goes undercover as an art-buying countess, seducing her way into new clues. The trail leads the luscious ladies to a posh beachside hotel, where they tangle with playboys, dodge police, and lounge around in lots of unbelievably fabulous 1960s outfits. Klaus meanwhile is eyeing his next victim, Diana. This is fast-paced European comic book-style lunacy, with Franco and company obviously having a great time. Viewers will too, if they are able to get in the right mood, and can get past the bad dubbing. Jerry Van Rooyen composed the juicy, madcap jazz score.

KISS ME MONSTER: Diana (Janine Reynaud) and Regina (Rosanna Yanni) are two wisecracking, super-sexy private investigators hired to find a missing doctor's secret formula, in this way-out 1960s spy-horror spoof from director Jess Franco. A sheet of music in a dead man's hand is the girls' only clue, and somehow it leads them to an island owned by a sinister man named Erik (Adrian Hoven, the film's producer). Using a crazy nightclub act as cover, the restless vixens sing, dance, and strip their way to the solution of the strange case, effortlessly eluding lots of drooling, knife-wielding psychopaths along the way.

This film comes equipped with nude swimming, lesbian terrorists, whipping, gunplay, a car chase, and lots of wild music and fabulous clothes. Director Jess Franco has been making barely coherent, wondrously weird films like this for 40 years. This one is a good place to start for those who've never heard of him. It was filmed at the same time, and with the same cast, in the same roles, as TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS.
