No matter what they say, this is - so far - a lost film. Filmed as The Sex Serum Of Dr. Blake (1970) and aimed squarely at the raincoat crowd, writer/director Charles Nizet shot additional scenes to make another movie, the R-rated drive-in horror film Voodoo Heartbeat (1972). In his only film role, producer Ray Molina stars in both versions as Dr. Blake, an abortionist who injects himself with a purloined "youth" serum that results in a few inconvenient side effects. Famed character actor Philip Ahn (Tex Rides With The Boy Scouts) is Mao Tse Tung in a gruesome torture chamber scene, one of a number of segments not found in the X-rated version currently available on Blu-ray. With Forrest Duke from Ray Dennis Steckler's The Hollywood Strangler Meets The Skid Row Slasher, Will Long (Perverted Passion), Ebby The Ravager Rhodes, and Chuck Alford from Dracula (The Dirty Old Man). Filmed entirely in and around Las Vegas.
