| Santo & Blue Demon With The Monsters |
| Santo's girlfriend asks at one point in the movie:"When will this end?" Sister you must have
watched this flick because ol' skip was asking the very same question. This film is padded
not only with wrestling scenes but two dance numbers and a musical number!AUUGGH! Shades of the Neutron series!
The plot? Well Waldo the hunchback/dwarf/assistant of the evil Dr Halder brings the doc back to life in his cave lab under a castle. He has a few reanimnated corpses and an exposed brain creature from another south of the border laff fest whose name escapes me. Halder vows revenge on his brother, his niece, Santo & Blue Demon for some past transgressions.Maybe he just likes to kill guys in masks, who knows? Somehow Blue Demon stumbles upon the evil doctor's lair and is knocked cold. Then the madman makes an evil clone of Blue Demon and sends him out to kill Santo. Well Santo and his babe happen to be out necking in the woods right nearby so the fight is on. Santo gets his arse kicked by BD and is left for dead. But he rallies and rescues his girl while the baddies get away. Then Dr Halder sends BD and the corpses out to get a gaggle of monsters so he can rule the world. So they find the goofiest vampire ever filmed with ears bigger than Prince Charlie's,a mummy that looks like John Carradine's soused older brother, a cyclops with a blinking light eyeball, a raggedy arsed werewolf and a Frankenstein monster with a...goatee! Oh man the world is doomed now! Several attempts are made on Santo's life along with his girl and Halder's do gooder brother. Some local women are chowed down on to make vampire women. After 35 or so attempts the good doctor and his daughter are finally captured and are to be put to death. Can Santo get there in time and more importantly stopped getting his arse kicked? Here are some "highlights": --You can kick a cyclops in the balls and his eye will light up faster.Don't try this at home kids these are trained professionals. --The vampire appears in the broad daylight yet later an attack is called off because the sun is rising?Huh? --Santo gets his arse kicked...a lot. I'm surprised a Cub Scout didn't wipe the floor up with him. --The Frankenstein monster must have a driver's license because he can drive a car. No fooling. --Mummies know wrestling moves. --Cyclops monsters have zippers in their backs. --Mad scientists have rather warm deep feelings for their demented hunchback assistants as evidenced by the heavy hugging going on between Halder & Waldo at the end of the movie. "Waldo we're going to die. I just want to say that I love you in spite of our size difference".Well the subtitles didn't say that but they should have. Heavy subtext. --Blue Demon showed the best wrestling move of all in this flick when he grabbed a handful of Santo's girlfriend's boob. Squeeze! HONK! Hey Santo it was an accident! No problem amigo,what are best friends for, right? --It is okay to hit an underpaid stuntman in the face with a mace. Hope ya got dental insurance sparky! --Bats fly via wires. Just look! In retrospect I have to ask were they stoned when they wrote this? It makes no sense with all of the plot gaffes and downright lunacy. So if they can't take the film seriously neither will I. Nor should you. It is plain dumb fun that everyone should see at least once. It is jaw droppingly hysterical and is guaranteed to drive away unwanted house guests. |
