Storyline

From Odessa Filmworks, the award winning team that brought the world Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy and rewrote the gospel of Canadian filmmaking with Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter comes a new knuckle-dusting adventure starring everyone's favourite super spy. A valuable necklace has gone missing, and Harry Knuckles, AKA Special Agent Spanish Fly, is on the case. But getting his hirsute hands on the prize isn't going to be easy for the diminutive dynamo. There's more to this case than meets the eye. Armed with a lethal arsenal of kung-fu moves, a hair-trigger temper, a fistful of moxie and a seemingly endless supply of potassium-rich bananas, Harry's ready to knuckle up against any and all comers. Back to back with his loyal friend, famed Mexican wrestler El Santos, Harry goes toe to toe with the hinterland horror of the Bionic Bigfoot and an army of interlopers.

Smells like fish; tastes like PAIN!

I have to plead ignorance regarding Canuxploitation, "B" movies of Canada, unless Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter qualifies, and I imagine it does.

The Vampire Hunter team of director Lee Demarbre and writer Ian Driscoll return again with characters from their short Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy.

Phil Caracas plays not only Harry, but his evil twin Fuzzy. Jeff Moffet is back as Santo, a Lucha libre character, who plays his partner.

As for exploitation, I saw nunsploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal exploitation, and exploitation of those who sat through this hoping that we would see much more of the lovely ladies shown throughout the film, especially Patricia Bellemore, who appeared in a virtual reality segment that resembled a ripoff of James Bond.

Alas, the film relied on violence and a little gore instead of any nudity. It was heavy on martial arts and massive amounts of slapstick. Some of it was funny, and a lot of groaners.

Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy was 27 minutes long. They supposedly shortened this film to 120 minutes. An average of 74 minutes would have been perfect.
