[off topic]
Overdrawn At The Memory Bank. Raul Julia plays a average citizen who decides to take a mini-vacation by downloading his mind into the body of an ape. Complications arise when his memory is 'lost' in the system and he experiences a whole new version of reality.
Based on a story by John Varley

Saw this recently because of MST3K.
Between this, Adams Family and Street Fighter, I kinda get the sense that Raul Julia was like Bruce Campbell in that he only took on super fun, and goofy roles in not-so-great movies because he just liked having fun and didn't care about being a big star or making hella money.
-
It's my understanding that he cared more about stage acting than films, but he needed to pay the bills.
He was starred a Broadway production of Dracula and was apparently incredible. I would have loved to have seen it. Edward Gorey designed the sets.
Edit: also, I'm surprised you didn't mention Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a genuinely terrific film.
-
I didn't see the MST3K version; but from the YouTube description I saw they cut a lot out.
The story [and John Varley's stories in general] is worth a read.
Try Raul in "Moon Over Parador" and "The Gumball Rally." He almost never got the top billings he deserved.

Nobody tell the Ferengi about crypto-latinum.

I think the Ferengi would be happy to sell crypto-latinum, but feel like they'd never use it themselves.
Quark: Where is the money?
Crypto-guy: It's in a virtual wallet.
Quark: ... well then, please enjoy this virtual Saurian Brandy.
