Peter Carpenter in Point of Terror (1973)

The biography of Peter Carpenter the actor (as it is researched by The Eerie Midnight Detective Agency) is much more intriguing than the movie itself, which is more of a soapy melodrama than the horror-film-sounding title would suggest otherwise. While Peter Carpenter didn't have the handsomest features by classic standard, he had an alluring aura about him, especially with his rugged, football player build—no wonder he was always playing the hunky love interest, and he definitely wasn't shy about revealing his physique in this flick.

Tom Selleck in Daughters of Satan (1972)

Daughters of Satan (1972) probably would’ve worked better as a Twilight Zone episode rather than a dragged-out movie, but at least the extra runtime was filled with a young Tom Selleck either shirtless or with his shirt wide open.

Donnelly Rhodes in The Neptune Factor (1973)

This is a rarity for the blog—a actor featured not in the state of shirtlessness.

But Donnelly Rhodes is so appeling in a Scott Bakula + Mike Rowe kind of way I just have to give him a spot here. Unfortunately all we have (for now) is observing his beauty through a (one! just one!) layer of fabric. Hopefully I will be able to dig up his other works, and something amazing will surface!

As for The Neptune Factor (1973)... I just have to say its poster art is way too good for this low-budget sci-fi, Fantastic Voyage it is not. No undersea adventure can be convincing to any adult, if the 'monsters' are basically aquarium fishes magnified...

Andrés García in Tintorera! (1977)

Tintorera! (1977) is a Spanish attempt at recreating the success of Jaws, about a story of a man-eating shark... Actually, the shark plot only consists about 10% of the movie, the rest of it portrays the battles between two men for a woman's affection.

Of course, at the sight of Mr. Garcia, I can sit through even the most horrible crap. The natural, hairy torso, that structurally refined face, and those eyes! He is a textbook example of lover material. The film takes every opportunity to lose his shirt, and thanks to this, while the beast of the sea is nowhere in sight, the beast to our delight is constantly there to satisfy! I need Andrés García to accompany me on a tropical vacation.

Dolph Lundgren in Bridge of Dragon (1999)

Dolph Lundgren's movies (especially the later ones), you saw one, you've really seen them all. He basically pulled the same face through all of them. But like coke, you know they are bad for your health, yet once in a while you have a craving for them- same thing goes with Mr Lundgren's films.

There are times I just want to see explosions, meaningless fights and all things macho, and that's basically what Bridge of Dragon (1999) is. And hey, if that also mean I get to see shirtless scenes of Dolph, that's just added bonus!
