Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
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.
MartinHafer This is a very strange blending of genres. On one hand, it's a Mexican wrestling movie with lots of buxom babes who love to tumble. On the other, it's a Mexican variation on THE MUMMY. Oddly, however, neither of these story lines actually are integrated into each other--like two small crappy films stuck together.The film begins with some baddie (the head of the Black Dragons) trying to get the last clues to discover the whereabouts of an Aztec treasure. Of course, he has sisters who are Judo champs who have come to kick the butts of two pretty wrestlers in order to get this information! To make things weirder, he and the judo ladies are supposed to be Japanese--though they look amazingly like Mexicans.Later in the film, after LOTS of filler consisting of wrestling matches, the good guys are able to discover the treasure but accidentally unleash a nasty mummy. The mummy actually helps them at first by destroying all the Black Dragons in a slow-motion fight that looks like it shouldn't have hurt them...let alone kill them. But, after killing these folks, the mummy comes looking for the good guys. Who will win? Who cares?! Overall, both segments of the film are relatively poorly made, but the mummy part is worst because it ends so badly. This mummy is part vampire (I kid you not) and can turn into bats (the cheesiest and least realistic type I've ever seen) and tarantulas. And, in the end, he's amazingly easy to destroy. In fact, this is so anticlimactic that you are left wondering if they just ran out of film.Some bad movies are so badly made and stupid that they are oddly watchable on a camp level. This one, however, is bad but never quite bad enough to be fun--just bad. Watch it if you want, but it will not be a particularly enjoyable experience unless you are a die-hard bad movie fiend. If you want to see a better Aztec mummy film (believe it or not, there are several more), try watching THE HUMAN ROBOT VERSUS THE AZTEC MUMMY--it is terrible but quite enjoyable at the same time.By the way, this film and DOCTOR OF DOOM (1963) are included on the same DVD. Interestingly, BOTH films share many of the same scenes and it appears as if they basically created one movie and filmed a few extra scenes in order to make two films! While cheap and crappy, it also made for many incomprehensible moments and a lot of repetition.
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.
Lirazel I first saw this movie as part of a double video, with Phil Tucker's Robot Monster..needless to say, this bill wasn't put together as two brilliant examples of the best films ever made.This one rules, though..there is nothing like seeing overweight wrestling women, Samson (the masked mexican wrestler) and the WORST EVER mummy costume all together in one feature. Don't bother trying to follow the plot, or searching for the myriad errors in continuity..just lay back with your sense of the absurd in hand, along with something cold and refreshing, and let your troubles melt away in a fine and glorious wash of true silliness.
