Few will argue that this Spanish werewolf flick should be placed among the pantheon of classic lycanthrope films, but The Fury of the Wolfman is a great "bad" film that resembles a conglomeration of better horror efforts. Paul Naschy stars as the picture's title character Waldemar Daninsky, a kindly scientist who resembles Claude Rains until his comical transformations. This effort marked Naschy's fifth appearance as this hard-luck character. Special effects are minimal and the aforementioned transformations are done in the same manner as the 1941 Universal classic The Wolf Man, but instead of being frightening, Naschy's werewolf comes across like a live-action version of the Tasmanian Devil. This works best at the film's climax as Naschy and his cheating wife both transform and do battle. The script -- written by Naschy under his real name Jacinto Molina -- is an amusing patchwork of better films as it incorporates the werewolf story, a mad scientist drama, and even an Island of Lost Souls homage that includes a gloomy castle full of human experiments. Naschy's scientist even claims that his change into a wolf may be because he was bitten by a Yeti! Funniest of all is the badly dubbed dialogue that is ripe with unintentional laughs including a hilarious scene in which Naschy begs his ex-lover-turned-evil-mind-control-expert (Perla Cristal) to operate on him to cure his lycanthropy: "For the sake of the love we had for each other, do it," Naschy pleads, to which Cristal quickly replies, "Yes, I will -- but you have to promise to act like a real man."
