    • Trivia
      The copyright in the movie is 2000-2001, but the movie was released in 2003.
    • Goofs
      The credits have several typos and mistakes: "Culb" instead of "Club"; "Deprotivo" instead of "Deportivo"; diacritics are used only sometimes with no reason ("eléctrico" with acute accent, immediately before "fotografo" without it, but both word follow the same grammatical rule in Spanish); the monster is sometimes listed as Jocántaro and sometimes as Yocantaro.
    • Crazy credits
      In the opening cast: with the selfless and incomparable collaboration of Jess Franco.

    Short on budget, long on humor
    What you lack in budget can often be made up for with big doses of humor and inspired direction. Newcomer Pedro Temboury makes a big splash with silly zombies, a portly villain, a rubber monster, stock footage and clever cameo appearances by cult director Jess Franco and actress Lina Romay. Big baddie Paul Lapidus plans to take over the world with karate trained zombies so of course he starts by attacking that vital town of Torremolinos. Call in martial arts champ Oliver Denis to the rescue and see him knocked off almost immediately. The jokes are smart the acting is way above what you'd expect from such a low budget film and Temboury's direction keeps things going at a pace that always keeps your interest. Don't let the subtitles scare you away. Maybe One Shot Productions, who Temboury's worked for in the past, will release this in on USA DVD in a dubbed version. In joke lovers will take note of the same green goblin that stalked the Spanish countryside in "Les Psycho-Lettes."
