Luciano Foti emerged in the late 1970s, showcasing his talent in the realm of cult cinema. He is particularly known for his roles in A Policewoman on the Porno Squad (1979) and Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot (1979), where he navigates the provocative landscapes of exploitation films. Foti's performances often blend humor with a gritty edge, making him a fitting presence in the grindhouse genre. His role in Violence in a Women's Prison (1982) further cements his place in the annals of cult film history, where he embodies the raw energy characteristic of this era.
Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot
A lusty young woman decides to use her sexual powers to “tame” the evil and murderous Dr. Jekyll. Actress Edwige Fenech and the Italians made A LOT of screwball sex comedies in the 70’s. Generally though, they were more successful(internationally, at least) at bedroom farce-type stuff as opposed to parodies like this. To be fair though, the English-language version of this is saddled with bad dubbing, horrid music (which may or may not have been in the Italian-language version), and an inappropriate English-title, “Dr.Jeckyl Likes ’em Hot”, which suggests a much more sex-saturated movie. Still, as European horror movie parodies go this is not as good as Lucio Fulci’s “Young Dracula”, it’s about the same as Armando Crispino’s “Frankenstein All”Italia”, but it’s significantly better than “Dracula Blows his Cool”.
