CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY A few minutes of The Aztec Mummy shows up in Curse Of The Aztec Mummy.Dr Krupp aka The Bat has been arrested.Dr Almada,Flor and his assistant Pincate feel safe.However a masked crimefighter in droopy drawers and a cape calling himself The Angel shows up to warn Dr Alamada that nobody is safe from The Bat.Sure enough when The Bat is being transported to prison his gang attacks.The Angel shows up and promptly gets his arse kicked.The Bat escapes. Dr Krupp plots to steal the Aztec breastplate & bracelet from the tomb of Popoca.He gives us a lengthy flashback from The Aztec Mummy.Flor (Dr Almada's fiance) was hypnotized to reveal a past life.She was a hand maiden to one of the Aztec Gods.But she & Popoca did the wild thing and they were sentenced to death. So Krupp kidnaps Flora and the doctor.The Angel shows up and once again gets his arse kicked.He and the doctor are prisoners as Krupp, his men and Flora search for the Aztec loot.They find Popoca and he is awfully sore at being roused.The gang escapes with the booty. When they get back to the Bat's hideout yet another fight ensues.Guess what?The Angel gets his arse kicked again.He is unmasked to reveal his true identity ending his crimefighting days.Good thing too unless he really enjoyed getting beaten up every twenty minutes. Krupp forces Almada to translate the symbols on the breastplate that leads to the treasure.But Popoca shows up ready to kill everybody in sight. This is good for a laugh as it tries to inject a Santo like crimefighter into the Mummy sub genre.The Mummy isn't on screen much at all which is a sore point with me.However it is a bit of brainless fun. ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY We get some flashbacks from La Momia & Curse Of The Aztec Mummy.About 30 minutes worth. Anyhow there is the usual reincarnation nonsense. Not to mention a treasure map on a breastplate & bracelet guarded by our favorite Aztec Mummy.By this time Popoca looks like he's been on a 2000 year bender and is after the defilers of his tomb. The evil Dr Von Krupp appears wanting the Aztec treasure(possibly to finance acting lessons & screenwriting classes for cast & crew).The doc in typical mad scientist fashion wants to rule the world. He stresses this by rolling his eyes, laughing maniacally and chewing the scenery.He has cobbled together an invincible robot. Looks like the 'bot was made from a garbage can, a chandelier and the grill of a 1957 Buick. Well the mighty showdown between our bad arsed bandaged boy and the Robot takes place in the Mummy's new crypt having been made homeless earlier. In spite of my jibes at this film I do have a soft spot in my head for it. It sure isn't a classic but can be fun if you're in the right frame of mind. It only runs a tad over an hour. WRESTLING WOMEN VS THE AZTEC MUMMY 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 those seeking the breast plate. But this movie is better than average and deserves a look when you're in the mood for something not too taxing. |
