"A scientist is successful in creating a serum that allows bodies to accept transplanted organs without the threat of rejection. Unfortunately, the scientist's discovery is stolen and used by a mad doctor creating a patch-work man from various body parts. This bizarre creature escapes from the lab and sets out on a rampage of death and destruction with the police desperate to stop the crazed monster," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.
Since this monster turns out to be a serial rapist, you have to wonder why Dr. Frankenstein didn't try to reverse the testicle implant he performs. Of course, that'd be killing off this film's baser appeal. Although incompletely made, "Frankenstein '80" has a storyline. You can see what bad direction, editing, and dubbing can do to an actor. And, the most gratuitous rape scene starts with a great line; the prostitute tells the monster, "You may have a limp when you walk, but I bet you don't have one in bed."
