Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

MonsterVision99 This second entry in the Wrestling Women saga isn't as entertaining as the first one (I remember liking the first one a lot) but delivers a good amount of fun. This is also the fourth entry in the Aztec Mummy saga, I will say that this is probably the best one in that series.René Cardona knows how to make quality low budget cheesy horror films, this movie didn't show the mummy until like an hour in, but I didn't care, it was so entertaining I would have been fine if there was no mummy after all, but there is a mummy that appears 20 minutes before the movie ends and its great, this is a very memorable monster, its a mummy with huge crazy eyes that screams and turns into animals, like bats and tarantulas. The backstory for the mummy is the same one we saw in the previous films, but this time they shot new footage instead of reusing the same one from the other movies, I am very grateful for that, the backstory was even better shot and better made overall.There is also this villain who resembles Fu Manchú, hes also very fun to watch and he has two fighting sisters who eventually fight the wrestling women in the ring, great stuff.Our main characters are still as charming as in the previous installment, the effects aren't the best but Cardona makes up for it by making the best out of what he has, he gives us likable characters, an attractive plot, some comedy and lots of fight scenes. It started pretty interesting and eventually became a bit dull at points but it becomes fun again once the mummy is on screen.I may enjoy the Wrestling Women movies more than El Santo movies or the Blue Demon ones, even more than The Aztec Mummy movies, its almost like Cardona knows me and wants me to have a good time with fun schlock while still making them good enough to be genuinely entertaining.

Michael_Elliott Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy, The (1964) * (out of 4) Notorious Mexican film has a gang of criminals known as The Black Dragons killing off archaeologists so that they can find some ancient Aztec secrets. Soon a group of wrestling women try to stop their evil deeds and it eventually leads to an Aztec mummy who has his own plans. Fans of bad movies have been eating this one up for decades now. There's no question that the performance are horrid, the direction even worse and the story itself makes no sense but thankfully the film is so bad that you can't help but get a few laughs out of it. While watching this movie I couldn't help but wonder who on Earth this thing was made for. I know these Mexican "wrestling" movies were popular in their day but it's really hard to see why. I mean, none of the wrestling matches are exciting and they're so poorly filmed that you can't help but laugh. Even worse is the incredibly stupid story that never really makes any sense. One minute you'll be thinking one thing is happening and then all of the sudden, and out of nowhere, the film will go into a different direction. The final twenty-minutes of the film finally has the mummy appearing and it almost seems as if it was thrown in for no reason and possibly just added after production as a way to get the film into more theaters. No matter the reason, the mummy stuff is pretty funny and especially in the English dubbed version. The heavy breathing and moaning will surely get you laughing but I must say that the actual look of the mummy is quite good. The final moments of the film aren't all that exciting but we at least get the mummy in some decent action including one sequence where he attacks all of the criminals. With that said, the appeal of this thing is only going to be for those who enjoy bad movies. There's really nothing else "good" going on here and it's so cheaply produced you still wonder what the entire point was. I do wonder if those involved realized that they were making something that people would still be watching fifty-years later.

gridoon2018 For a movie called "Wrestling Women Vs. The Aztec Mummy", this one doesn't really have much of either. There are only two in-ring wrestling sequences; the long one (about 10 minutes), pitting Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi against two female judo experts from Japan, is probably the highlight of the entire film, but the other, a short bout at the start, is actually lifted footage from the first film in the series, "Doctor Of Doom". As for the Aztec Mummy, it doesn't appear until the last 20 minutes, but it does look (and sound) pretty creepy, in a low-budget way of course. Until then, the main villain is a Fu Manchu wannabe who is not nearly as entertaining as the mad doctor of the first movie. Lorena Velázquez and Elizabeth Campbell are still deliciously curvy and satisfyingly strong, but the movie suffers from too much padding (once they find the mummy's tomb, they keep going in & out of it), and although it seems to have higher production values than "Doctor Of Doom", it's not quite as much fun. ** out of 4.

evilskip There are 2 versions of this film.There is the Rhino release called "Rock And Roll Wrestling Women Vs The Aztec Mummy".The dialogue was removed and it was turned into a musical. It is also missing about 30 minutes of film. Skip that and watch this one.To be short there is a gang of Oriental baddies led by the Black Dragon and his 2 Kung Fu sisters(long before the Kung Fu genre exploded).He wants the code of a map to an Aztec Pyramid that contains a golden breast plate.So using violence, hypnotism and a great closed circuit tv he attempts to gather all of the code.(If ol' skip had a closed circuit tv like that it would have been in the Wrestling Women's shower room hubba hubba).The Wrestling Women are a couple of hot babes that can seriously kick your arse.They square off against the kung fu sisters in a duel to obtain the code.The kung fu sisters get their butts handed to them.Our intrepid band hustles to the pyramid to grab the treasure.The Aztec Mummy is awakened when the golden breast plate is removed from his long dead sweetie. This boy is ugly,mean and sounds really scary.He moans and howls like he has a serious case of intestinal distress.He can also change into a bat and a spider.Everyone is in some serious trouble as the Mummy begins to slaughter seeking the breast plate.As usual the comic relief in these movies really grates on you.He does have some cool lines but you would like to see the Mummy remove his pea sized brain forcibly. Some of the Wrestling scenes drag on but that is worshipped in Mexico and a main part of the plot.The Mummy doesn't show up until an hour into the film and that is too bad.He is pretty scary and vicious.But this movie is better than average and deserves a look when you're in the mood for something not too taxing.
