Caltiki- Original Italian Opening

B-Movie fans unite- I present a little over a minute of footage from the Italian version of Caltiki the Immortal Monster. It is so rare, in fact, that the source I have looks like a crappy EP video tape. It's also in widescreen, too!

...traces of natural disasters, and what cataclysm could have forced the Maya into perpetual exile from the cradle of its civilization? The mystery still stands as of today, and the nomadic locals who still traverse those lands, recount that their forefathers left the place to avoid the wrath of a terrible, bloodthirsty deity...CALTIKI!!! (cue to soundtrack)

...and the temples they did build, no Mayan ever returned there, the cities remained deserted and still and, slowly, the jungle reclaimed them, choking roads and buildings with its embrace, seemingly cancelling every trace of that civilization. The scientific expeditions trying to grapple with that mystery never managed to give a satisfying explanation...a foreign invasion seemed unlikely...for what local power could menace such proud and developed a people? Similarly, there are no...

Being Italian and an enthusiast of B-movies and stuff I think you could be interested in the translation of the spoken part:

"This is the sacred pyramid in the dead city of Tical, 300 miles south of Mexico City; here for thousand of years the Maya did dwell, a people possessing a complex culture, versed in mathematics and astronomy. Yet, in 607 AD, they started an unexplained mass-migration, toward the savage and hostile lands of the north, abandoning their solid abodes, the pyramids and...

ME TOO... in fact, for years I thought I had just IMAGINED this movie... but it really really really does exist. Now, if only I could view it. I think it came to our town in it's first run, but my father said NO. (and he said YES to, The Blob, so that says something right there!)

anyone know if a free channel is showing the full version?

I really want the Italian version of this old classic...Bava's effects were great, his gore effects pretty graphic for their time. I'm uploading the english dub of CALTIKI!!! Please come by and enjoy!

I saw the same double bill when I was 10 years old! My dad took me to the drive in and would doze off leaving me to indulge in my Monster Movie Heaven. I wasn't quite ready for Caltiki though. When that first victim's diving helmet was removed, I damn near jumped out the window! LOL!

I have been searching for this movie for

years because, like some of the other

responses here, I saw this movie as a

"Friday Night Creature Feature" back when I was 8 years old (I'm 55 now) and

it scared me so much I could not sleep

the entire night I saw it. Its really neat the

internet things we have now to find these

things

Wow! I saw this at the movies with Gorgo!

X The Unknown has a radioactive blob that melts people. Showing my age man!
