The Führer’s noggin survives the Reich—on a remote tropical island.
THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN
Nazi madmen preserve Hitler's brain on a small tropical island until the time is right to resurrect him and, along with him, the Third Reich.
Proof that, in cinema, no villain is too brainless to make a comeback.
Preserving a dictator’s head in a jar isn’t just questionable science, it’s an entire subgenre. They Saved Hitler's Brain serves up tropical Nazis, kidnapped scientists, and a disembodied villain who refuses to die, all stitched together from two films and plenty of pulp ambition.

Synopsis
NOTE: "They Saved Hitler's Brain", despite bearing a 1963 copyright, was released years later. The 1963 film The Madmen of Mandoras was combined with new footage of "CID" agents Vic and Toni shot for the film and released to television as "They Saved Hitler's Brain". The Vic and Toni footage was clearly shot years later; the hairstyles and fashions did not become popular until the late 1960s.
Why Cult
Experience a premise straight out of the wildest pulp: Hitler’s brain, jarred and wired, waiting for a new Reich.
Swapping cold bunkers for balmy Mandoras, the Third Reich takes its villainy to a hidden South American paradise.
Originally Madmen of Mandoras, the film famously splices in new footage to create the TV-ready oddity known today.
