Member Rating:  
The excesses and eccentricities of the 20th century once again go under the cinematic microscope in this shockumentary inspired by the international hit Mondo Cane. Mondo Balordo documents a wide variety of strange and unsavory behavior, ranging from teenage dueling clubs in Berlin where facial scars are a badge of honor to Japanese photographers who stage bondage scenarios with nubile young women to satisfy the demands of certain specialized magazines. Also included for your edification are women who bleach their hair using camel's urine, nightclubs catering to cross-dressers and lesbians, midget rock & roll singers, a dancer who is convinced he is the reincarnation of Rudolph Valentino, and Peruvian field hands who have learned to use the cocoa leaf to get them through the workday. Boris Karloff provides narration for the American-release version. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    It's a me-too movie. Cheap knock-off of Mondo series. Not too interesting - I couldn't finish watching it (had to go out and watch the grass grow.)

    Not what I expected! What was "freaky" in the 60's is not considered ecentric by today's standards. Very disappointing.

    This is a silly hideous loser with no redeeming value other than Karloff's narration. He must have been hard up for the money. Nothing scary, nothing outrageous, just a lot of silly junk. Pull the chain and flush this one.
