The Mexo-babes wrestle Mexicans playing orientals

(aka: WRESTLING WOMEN vs. THE AZTEC MUMMY)

Our two wrestling babes from DOCTOR OF DOOM are back, ready to kick some more ass.

This time it's a oriental villain called the Red Dragon who is having his gang kill off a group of archeologists who have stumbled on to code that will lead them to an Aztec treasure. The Red Dragon needs the last surviving member of the group, a Dr. Tracy, in order to get it. And of course our two wrestling babes are called in to help.

This one is so laughingly bad, it had my sides splitting. I love the scene where they encounter the Aztec mummy in the tomb and he looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask.

And then he changes into a bat, too!

(laughs)

The Something Weird video is doubled up with DOCTOR OF DOOM and has tons of extras including many trailers for other Mexican horror films they have in their library. Although the b/w print shows it's age, it's far better than the old grainy VHS tape.

6 out of 10 for giving it the old college try…

(more laughs)
