Jacinto Molina, best known as "Paul Naschy," returned in his eighth go-round as the tortured werewolf Waldemar Daninsky in this odd variation on the theme. Daninsky joins an expedition to Tibet in search of the Yeti, only to be bitten by two cannibalistic women whom he made love with in a cave. That turns him into the wolf-man, but he spends most of the running time defeating bandits and the despotic Saga Khan, only fighting the Yeti briefly in the film's closing moments. This disappointment was Molina's last appearance as Daninsky for five years. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

The title says it all: This time young Dr. Jekyll (Jack Taylor), the grandson of the more famous one, must contend with a werewolf (Paul Naschy) rather than grandpa's bestial alter ego Mr. Hyde. Well, that's not quite accurate. What happens here is that the werewolf seeks out a cure for his lycanthropy from Jekyll. The good doctor pumps him full of a serum that turns the wolfman into Mr. Hyde. Even worse, this Hyde is an S&M freak, seeking out beautiful women for the purposes of bondage and torture. Jeckyll wants to put an end to all this, but he is prevented from doing so by his insane lab assistant. By 1971, baying at the moon and growing an inordinate amount of facial hair was old hat to the ubiquitous Paul Naschy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All the setpieces of the Sewell original are in attendance, including the showstopping "burning barn" sequence.
