Krakatoa: East of Java

I knew this would be a can of worms…aaahhhhhh groannnnnn.

Ok so I dug up a copy of Krakatoa East of Java which had Ron Howard’s smell all over it…kind of like sweet and sour chicken paprikash! The copy was sped up and backwards but I don’t complain…I’m from the days of staying at a hotel and not wanting to pay for porn and watching it on some weird channel through the black and white squiggles on the screen.

This film has the earmarks of a Ron Howard project. Most importantly it was about history and Ron loves history. There’s a blonde guy in the film who reminded me of Ron when I looked at the revved up version on youtube. I looked him up…John Leyton. Ron loves going blonde. Great all star cast here and a few clues. Oh wow!! Sal Mineo! Last time I saw him he was administering morphine to Bela Lugosi!!

 

Interestingly enough there are scars around Sal Mineo’s wrists. I’ll double check later. This is probably a throw back to the MKUltra early days where they’d lock you in a room with only your teddy bear, then they’d tie you up, take your Teddy Bear from you and threaten to torment it if you don’t do what they say. This apparently worked better than just tormenting you and caused less scarring except for the wrists where you desperately tried to get out of being bound to save teddy from further abuse. Remember it’s the killers that run the world.

I believe it’s a contractual obligation for Sal to be anally raped in almost every film he’s in…even in Exodus!!!  “We have a butt rape scene here…is Mineo in town?? What!!!? He’s trying out for Ned Beatty’s part in “Deliverance”??? Well get him here right away…he’s too thin for the role!”

 

More to come!
