Finally watched this film the other night. It was hilarious. If you're not familiar with the Mexican made Santo films, Santo is a masked wrestler hero. He has appeared in many films, this is the first of them I've seen. In this one he struts around shirtless in a mask, tights and gaudy red cape. Santo is summoned by the authorities much the way Batman is to deal with master criminals on the loose. In this case it's a scientist who tries to control blob like giant space microbes. The costume for the blob is a bunch of guys covered in a camouflage colored plastic sheet. You can see the obvious shapes of the men under the sheets when the blob attacks.
The fight sequences between Santos and the bad guys are dragged out and badly choreographed. They're unintentionally funny at first, then seem to go on forever. Aside from those scenes the rest of the film is classic "so bad it's good' fun.
