    So, yeah no, like, I grew up around people who'd get teary-eyed watching this film because they truly believed it to be a documentary. Also, they adored the notion of their deity colluding with a "prophet" to commit mass murder against their enemies.

    I was not aware that feature-length movies *this bad* existed.

    Even so I find this film, "Nazis At The Center Of The Earth" to be oddly compelling and timely given the world at present.

    True, there are gruesome, horrific scenes. I wouldn't want to embarrass B-rate movies in comparison. There is also gratuitous nudity, although not nearly enough given the circumstances.

    SYNOPSIS:

    1. Boy loses girl.
    2. Boy assassinates the laser-wielding Zombie Space Hitler cyborg.
    3. Boy gets the girl, then proposes right there on the Antarctic ice as the Herrenrasse UFO crashes into the South Pole.

    SPOILER ALERT:

    She says yes!!!

Okay, so there were horribly cartoon-ish parts, such as De Niro always wearing a freshly ironed Army uniform after his return, even though he had no luggage of any kind – or the two (one?)…
