‘Las luchadoras contra la momia’ Directed by René Cardona
Synopsis
If you&#;ve ever longed for a movie about wrestling women who take on various monsters, this is it! Xochitl, the mummy, can turn into a snake or a bat, which is difficult to get half-Nelsons on. Loreita, the Golden Ruby, joins her sister to battle the evil Prince Fugiyata and her Oriental female wrestlers. The mummy is also female and on the good side of the struggle.

For tarnishing my collection! This curse may bleed through to effect others as on this 10th Day we steal from Maskull's April in which he tracks down a film by René Cardona.
While brought to us by Aztec Mummy scribe Alfredo Salazar – this forth entry in THAT series is the second entry in the Wrestling Women adventures. This particular one sees the luchadoras caught up in a treasure…Daily Horror Scavenger Hunt 10 – April Day A horror film directed by anyone named René Cardona. (There's 3 generations yo!)
I was a little bit disappointed in the lack of wrestling and Aztec Mummys and a lot of scenes of the bad guy watching our heroes on TV, but then finally the plot kicked in. There's a long match between our hero female wrestlers and some Japanese Judo champions which was very entertaining and when not wrestling, the two amazon women are busy kicking evil dude's asses, no need for men to save them. Then someone says something about a bout between the "weaker sex" and this movie lost some of it's good will with me. These…
Day Not universal monsters but based on them
I was always the type of girl that would have picked a wrestling boot over a ballet pump. The drab dragons are sleek with their excellent spy equipment. I was impressed.
Judo vs wrasling, its like an episode of UFC.
Woman wrestlers with their cape all the way to the floor. I'm swooning before the mummy even shuffles, or batflaps in. Arise, this mummy seems to have a lot of traits a vampire has.
Watched this for the awesome title.
Pulp action with Asian stereotypes, huge 60s hair, secret messages, Aztec legends, people being remote controlled or tied to chairs and a bit of wrasslin action.

The mummy doesn’t show up till the end but leading up to that you get the story of Amazonian wrestling ladies vs. ninjitsu ladies. Lots of footage of that. Lots. And then all of a sudden there’s a history of Aztec rituals and a creepy mummy is summoned. Fun stuff.
Archaeology and the exploration of pyramids, some vague dialogue about mythology and the occult, women beating the shit out of people, a mummy who can transform into a bat; in other words everything I want in a film.
This felt like it was 3 hours long but the mummy looked GREAT. Loved seeing a 60s lucha libre arena as well. The rest is Mabuse/Fu Manchu on NyQuil.
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…
Most of this is a Fu Manchu adventure; the mummy doesn't show up until the last reel. Same deal as all the other mummy movies, except this one is also a shapeshifter.
Some of the pre-Colombian flashback footage was lifted from Las Rosas Del Milagro.

Everything except the titular Aztec Mummy is pretty terrible. And there's a lot that isn't the mummy (Fu Man Chu, Crime Rings, Chases, Luchadoras, Judo Ladies, Luchadoras fighting Judo Ladies - all bad).
That mummy's okay though. I got nothing against him.

After ’s The Aztec Mummy, The Curse of the Aztec Mummy and The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, it would take seven years for Popoca the Aztec Mummy — or some form of him — to return to menace Mexico. That said, U.S. producer Jerry Warren did release the original in the U.S. as Attack of the Mayan Mummy.
Popoca’s origins are much the same as Imhotep/Ardath Bey. He loved the wrong woman and paid for it, being mummified and now back alive, looking for his lost love. Except instead of Egypt, he was on the western side of the world. He was stopped with a crucifix — Mexico is incredibly Catholic — and being blown up real good with…
Hooptober - Film Nr. 28
Nur in der letzten Viertelstunde, wenn die titelgebende Aztekenmumie endlich auftaucht, halbwegs nah dran am Horrorgenre.
Davor ist das ganze eine reichlich infantile Schnitzeljagd durch die immer gleichen drei Kulissen. Es gibt eine asiatische Gang mit einem Fu Manchu-Verschnitt als Anführer, amazonenhafte Wrestlerinnen, einen aztekischen Kodex, hinter dem alle her sind und alle fünf Minuten haut sich irgendjemand auf die Schnauze. Als Skurrilität sicherlich schaubar, auch aufgrund der fast zwanzigminütigen Wrestler vs. Judoka-Sequenz in der Mitte des Films. Dem tollen reißerischen Titel wird der Film aber leider nicht gerecht.

Even though there's some dated yellowface and the aztec mummy doesn't show up until an hour in there's still some fun to be had. The judo vs. mexican wrestling match was cool (and had real Japanese fighters rather than yellowfaced ones.) The mummy transforms into various creepy crawlies, although he's around so little he never gets to do much. Over all it comes just short of really recommending it, just a bit more mummy action or wrestling and this would be a fine movie.
Its a wild ride, and feels like it has more in common structurally with serials than a feature film. The characters run from one scene to the next, often seeming unrelated or disconnected, but there generally isn't enough time for that to sink in. It's very much a product of its time, with some good ole fashioned sexism and oriental panic (including an 'interesting' interpretation of what judo looks like). Still, it's a unique example of a team going their own way in terms of filmaking, and its fun popcorn fare.
It has kind of a slow start, the creature is kind of lame, and there are a lot of Mexican actors in yellowface, which is gross. What makes it for me is the actually excellent wrestling and fight scenes, and female characters with actual agency and cool shit to do, which is pretty rare for a film from this period. It's nowhere near perfect, but it has a lot of charm and fun.

The women are ass-kickers, the gangsters are evil, the disagreements are settled by wrestling matches, the codices are ancient, the pyramids are cursed, the bats are rubber, the make-up is creepy, and the mummy is also a vampire. It’s bonkers and it’s fun.

So I watched the Rhino Video version, which is apparently way edited down and all the music is new. I guess that explains the incredibly jarring musical choices.

I really, really wanted to like this more than I did. Great on paper, questionably executed when it fulfills on its title, which is extremely rare.
