Bloody Iris!

 

 (imdb)
 

THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS-1972-After a model is stabbed to death in an elevator, a woman Mizar (Carla Brait) wrestles a guy in a club and makes him submit after a fey photographer tells a guy Andreas (George Hilton) to use her in ads for his beer company. Then a model Jennifer (Edwige Fenech) loses it during a shoot and later meets her estranged husband Adam (Ben Carra) who wants her to come back to his orgy like existence. Then Mizar is drowned in her own bathtub. Jennifer is stalked and attacked but escapes. When her friend is killed everything seems to point to Andreas being the killer. But then there's also that scarred guy hiding in his mom's apartment..... 

This made in Italy production is ok with some suspense and gore but sometimes it's kind of talky. Director Giuliano Carnimeo made the “Sartana” series and later EXTERMINATORS FROM THE YEAR 3000.

Vampiro

 

 (imdb)

VAMPIRO: WARRIOR OF THE NIGHT-1993-Pro wrestler Vampiro (the real life wrestler aka Ian Hodgkinson) is captured by a cartoonish mad would be ruler of the world. He's after some-thing called "the nitro weapons". La Rosa, a masked alien wrestling woman and her Ewok like pet, also search for them. The atrocious dubbed dialogue makes it hard to tell if it's supposed to be a straight forward comedy or not. Vamp (who's voice is dubbed) disappears during the final battle but shows up at the end to lament La Rosa's departure. 

Crazy low budget action tjing made to cash in on Vampiro's popularity in Mexico (where this was filmed). The '80's synth soundtrack doesn't help. Some real life wrestlers also appear: King Haku, Norman Smiley, Ultimo Dragon and Negro Casas among them.
