Story
PCP is unexplainably released into the Frankfurt water supply and sends the zoo inhabitants crazy. One evening after a malfunction of zoo security the gonzo critters rampage through the city eating and killing whatever they fancy, wreaking a night of bloody terror. It's up to regular Italian-trash whipping girl Lorraine De Selle and obnoxious Super Mario lookalike zookeeper John Aldrich to sort it out.

Narrator (voice)
A Mondo documentary that juxtaposes footage of death, carnage, and unpleasantness with scenes of inspiring and beautiful imagery.
Screenplay
Voltaire, a 16th century author was furious that learned members of a "civilized" society could claim that the apparent senseless violence and mayhem wrought by disasters, war, disease, man's cruelty, etc. was actually only a part of some 'greater good'. After all, God (being perfect) could not 'logically' have created anything but the 'best of all possible' universes.

ヤコペッティ監督が約3年の歳月を費やし、独立運動が激化したアフリカ諸国の混迷の様を捉えたドキュメンタリー。おなじみの“やらせ”疑惑が論じられた一方で、終盤のコンゴ動乱では傭兵たちによる略奪・虐殺の一部始終を撮影。さらに本物の処刑シーンまでフィルムに収めたため、ヤコペッティ監督が殺人教唆の罪で告訴される事態に。イタリア司法局の調査により無罪となったが、本作を最後にヤコペッティはドキュメンタリーの撮影をやめてしまった。

前作で未使用だったフィルムを中心に製作された「世界残酷物語」の続編。“やらせ”を多用した過激でいかがわしい内容は前作よりさらにエスカレート。当時ヤコペッティは交通事故で入院しており、実際に監督を務めたのはパートナーのフランコ・プロスペリと言われている。お家芸である“やらせ”はさらにエスカレートし、有名なサイゴンの僧侶焼身自殺シーンでは“これは再現フィルムではないのか？”との疑惑・論争まで起こす事態となった。
