Storyline

If you've ever longed for a movie about wrestling women who take on various monsters, this is it. There is Xochitl, a female mummy, and her lover Tezomoc who is also a mummy, and he can turn into a snake or a bat, which is difficult to get half-Nelsons on. Loreta and the Golden Ruby join forces to battle the evil Prince Fujiyata and his Oriental female Judo wrestlers. The mummy Tezomoc is male and on the good side of the struggle (at least he fights the bad guys). The lady wrestlers earlier appeared in "Doctor of Doom."

Golden Rubí: [Tommy has found a hidden key in a hat] It's the key, Tommy.
[reading what's on the key]
Golden Rubí: Hotel Rio. The key has to mean something.
Armando Rios: And it means that my uncle has worked out a plan to turn the 3 parts of the Codex over to us.
[to Tommy]
Armando Rios: You've got to go to the Hotel Rio right away, Room 13. I'll bet you find the part of the Codex you're supposed to keep.

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…
