Robin, "Dad, will you do another bit for my latest video?" Science Adviser, "Just so long as it isn't silly or demeaning. Robin, "Right; here's your mask."
Clearly you've remembered "Captain USA" 's movie show that ran on Saturday afternoons (back in '84--85) between the very hours you accurately cite . Back when the USA Network was new to television and ran all manner of stuff both wondrous and strange. Those were times to be missed.
I spent a lot of time watching Commander USA's Groovy Movies. And Kung Fu Theater as a tween and teen before I learned to drive. Those were the days. 😅
Which is precisely when I saw these movies as a 🧒 kid! One was a 🤼♂️ woman wrestlers saving their boyfriends, another involved acid spewing mexican robot 🤖 and mummies.
It's great to see that Mexicans understood Japanese culture even worse than Americans did. But, to be fair, the Japanese pop culture interpretation of other cultures tend to be just as accurate as this is with theirs.
Well, to be fair, there are proportionately a lot fewer people of Japanese ancestry in Mexico than there are in the USA --- there are a lot more people of Chinese origin in Mexico, and it's not entirely surprising that most Mexicans (at least back in the 1960s) tended to conflate the two cultures. Still, being Mexican myself, I don't think that's an excuse --- the result is funny, though a bit embarrassing because of the ignorance it exhibits by the filmmakers, which one would think they should have known better.
Eh, It goes both ways Japan has represented Mexicans as US native americans and Peruvians in the Street fighter franchise, as recent as last years game.
The similarities between this and the previous Aztec Mummy and Santo and the Treasure of Dracula films has a lot to do with them all sharing the same writer, Alfredo Salazar.
Thing about the Aztec Mummy is that he (Popoca in the original trilogy OR Tzempoc in this one) doesn't really look all that threatening, even if the mummy in this film DOES turn into a bat for no goldang reason. Even Lon Chaney's Kharis was more threatening, and he hated making those films! Golden Rubi and Gloria Venus DO keep you watching, however. Mostly because Gloria Venus was played by the absolutely delicious Lorena Velázquez, one of the most beautiful actresses in Mexi-Horror. The original Aztec Mummy Popoca had three separate movies and probably about an hour of actual material throughout because most of the "sequels" repeated the first movie's more interesting sequences (like the Kharis films, actually). And it was more interesting watching the inconsistencies between each film than anything the Mummy does or doesn't do. The first film had a silly incompetent fool who is revealed as a masked "superhero" in the second film for no reason whatsoever, which is virtually ignored in the third film. Just as well - he didn't really do much except show up deus ex machina a couple of times and get slammed in the end by the bad guys and get his "secret identity" revealed. And one of the bad guy's minions gets a different English dubber between the second and third films. But we DO get a "human robot" in the third film which is about as effective as anyone else in the entire trilogy (that is, not very). Or, to quote Tom Servo, "Wait, a 'human robot'? There's a flaw right there!" and Crow T Robot, "I looked up 'anticlimax' in the dictionary, and it said, 'See Aztec Mummy'!" Strangely, the Aztec Mummy blu ray collection has Wrestling Women ... and only the second and third films from the original trilogy. The first film is completely omitted. Not sure how THAT happened.
After a quick search, pro wrestler Benny Ramírez debuted "The Mummy" in 1961, so we are probably lucky that the director wasn't watching matches in Texas.
I think I know why the Japanese villain is seeking that ancient inscription. Because once it's successfully deciphered it will yield up the classic recipe for the world's perfect egg salad.
My friends and I want to make our first film and have it feature a character who, like this film, combines the abilities of Frankenstein, Dracula and the Mummy. But those special effects are too expensive for us so instead we have a character that has the same abilities as Captain Crunch, Alice from the Brady Bunch and the Time To Make The Donuts guy.
You might also enlist the time-tested & proven talents of Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and the Twix Wabbit. And maybe the General Mills Lucky Charms Leprechaun could serve as---oh I dunno--a tech adviser. You know, something like that.
The Aztec Mummy aspect comes from the distributor of the English dubbed version K. Gordon Murray, who also released two of the three original Aztec Mummy movies and wanted to keep the gimmick going. And there was an attempt at a reboot for the Wrestling Women series just a few years later featuring an all new cast called THE WRESTLING WOMEN VERSUS THE KILLER ROBOT but it was a remake of THE WRESTLING WOMEN VERSUS THE DOCTOR OF DOOM. The movie would be remade again as SANTO AND BLUE DEMON VERSUS DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN. All versions were directed by Rene Cardona.
So is this part of the larger ESCU? El Santo Cinematic Universe... I can't wait for the thrilling conclusion.. "Santo vs. The Infernal Evil Brained Martian Aztec Vampire Zombie Mummy Strangling Wrestling Women in the Wax Museum. (feat. Dracula and Frankenstein's Daughter)"
This was one of the gems from my childhood watching Commander USA's Groovy Movie. Movies like this one is how I came to learn about lucadors, La Llarona, Hammer films and Italian horror and there were some actually good movies in the mix. Some might consider it a misspent youth but I wouldn't have traded it.
Back in the '80s Rhino Records released a VHS version of this with a ridiculous garage band sound track added ("Rock and Roll Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Zombie.") I played it 'till the tape wore thin. Wonderful waste of time.
If it's a Mexican mummy movie you want, might I suggest 1972s "El Robo de las Momias de Guanajuato"? Multiple masked luchadors, their girlfriends, sports cars, motorcycles, midgets, a mad scientist, mummies, and a special guest appearance by Count Cagliostro. What more could you ask for?
This brings up an interesting anthropological fact; viz., not all mummies were invariably of royal or aristocratic lineage. Many of them were common folk who happened to die in places which naturally dry & arid, and more than a few of these were dehydrated & petrified by natural forces. Among the most famous of these are the mummies of Guanajuato located in the federal Mexican state of Sonora (I think). The local cemetery is pretty small & situated on a hillside regularly swept by desert winds & scoured by the sun. Every few years some of the dead are disinterred to make sufficient room for the recently deceased; many of the older corpses are found to have become natural mummies. They're preserved in open vaults where they are shown off to tourists & visitors. Chillingly, however, many seem to have died screaming---or give every impression of coming back to animate life. The mummies of Guanajuato also figure in one of Ray Bradbury's best horror yarns, "Next in Line." Give it a read.
Wrestling and horror are two genres that generally work well together. I'm sure it also helps to sell the films to other countries. We may not know much about Mexican wrestlers, but put in vampires, werewolves or Aztec mummies and we are ready for some cheesy fun. As for a reboot cast for Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi, I would suggest Rhea Ripley and Shotzi Blackheart. Both are currently wrestlers and they both have a love of horror movies.
I was first introduced to this film back in 1984-85 on a cheapo VHS release with the equally bizarre alternate title of Rock-N-Roll Wrestling Women vs The Aztec Mummy From Hell.
Robin the most conspicuous thing about the receptionist isn't the sunglasses. Its that he told them the room they wete looking for is on the FIRST floor and then immediately directs them to take the STAIRS!!! Sonce when do you take stairs to reach the 1st floor??

This is one answer to the question at the end. The actresses wouldn't necessarily have to be Latin, but there's a great Latin fitness model named Carolyne Marquez. She even has a sort of "comedienne" look about her, which would go with a tongue-in-cheek version of the story.
This channel's reviews are consistently fun & well written, but this one in particular is even more entertaining than usual. From the running gags to the classic callbacks to the check-in with your special advisor, I laughed out loud from start to finish! I never cared for mummy movies growing up, but I watched this video because you never fail to deliver top notch content. This is the perfect review to show someone who hasn't seen a Dark Corners episode yet, & wonders what all the fuss is about. Looking forward to more, as always!
My first thought is to cast Lady Shani as Gloria Venus and Taya Valkyrie as Golden Rubi. Like Elizabeth Campbell, Taya is a North American who worked for a long time in Mexico. She's got great acting chops, too!
Remember watching this as a kid and those wrestling movies with Santos..he'd fight vampires..zombies..frankenstein like monsters driving a sports car and always mask on..then of course a wrestling match
I mean, in a way the vampire stuff makes sense, given how similar _Dracula_ and _The Mummy_ were already Incidentally, did the Aztecs even mummify their dead at all?
One problem with these Aztec mummy films is that the Aztecs practised cremation. When there was no secure way to bury his cremated remains, Moctezuma II's close followers mixed his ash with water and drank the mix to avoid desecration. It was the Inca in South America who mummified their rulers, and Peru's coastal region had the world's oldest tradition of mummification, going back 7000 years.
"An electric chair and a hatstand" This interior has been brought to you by Marcel Duchamp 😄😄😄😄 Who ever can the Dark Corners' Lucha Libre Advisor be?! What terrible secret does the mask hide? The sisters beating the dust out of that old couch was most drole. I love how these films work masked wrestling in to every sort of situation.
Why do I get the feeling that this is how either Roger Corman or William Castle would have envisioned doing a movie with the word "Mummy" in its title?
Well, if they were younger, I'd suggest the 2 ladies from the Kiss Me Monster masterpiece, Diana and Regina, to play the 2 lady wrestlers, Golden Ruby and Gloria Venus, in a remake. Better yet, all four of them should get together to start their own franchise--Kiss Me, Aztec Mummy!
I remember seeing this on television decades ago. Always had a crush on Golden Ruby. Current WWE star Raquel Rodriguez would make a good contemporary Golden Ruby.
Who I would pick.Sidney Sweeney and Gal Gadot.Now,as to whether they would want to play those parts,I strongly doubt it(except Sidney Sweeney.She seems to have a pretty cool attitude).
You're not to take these movies seriously. However if you watch them in their original Spanish language with subtitles minus the over dramatic dubbing they don't come off as silly. Well, almost lol. And I love "She Wolves of the Ring" Can't wait for a review!!!
I've seen the cult favorite THE BRAINIAC in its Spanish language English-subtitled version ("El Baron del Terror"). And what a difference! It's not at all silly either---though it remains as off-kiltedly surreal as the dubbed version we all know.
maybe you can help me discovering a movie i saw as very kid. the only thing i remember, was that it was in color, and i think it was 70ts scifi aesthetic. colored sets. what stayed in mind was, a native american blowing "poison" in a room, which was green fumes, and suddenly that smoke was turning to a green snake of smoke to attach the victim, which i think was the main character, which i also think was blonde. I have been trying to find anything about that, and nothing.

That is all i remember. I even remember wen the parrot was in its cage, making everyone believe he was a normal parrot, someone tripped on the cage, and the parrot AND the Cage. went out the window, and the parrot said something like "YOU IDIOOOOOT"... xD that is all.

To be clear, the Science Advisor and the Lucha libre advisor are two different people. We don't know how this rumour of them being the same person ever got started.
Hmmm....that Lucha Libre Advisor sounds a great deal like...I don't know, it's at the tip of my fingers...someone who's appeared on this channel before...
The Hammer Mummy special was fantastic..Great films..There's just nobody like Cushing,Lee and Ripper around these days I guess it was lightning in a bottle kind of time.
The science advisor bits always make me laugh twice: once during the joke, and once imagining him asking his dad to do these ridiculous things.
The science advisor did not feature in this episode, our Lucha libre is no relation.

It seems almost improper to watch this movie at any time other than between noon and 2:00 P.M. on a Saturday.

You're evidently quite an expert on these movies. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

It’s a little known fact that most museums determine which relics they’ll exhibit by lucha libre.

@@jessicarie-tp6ti Not a clue. Sounds like a crazy 60's sitcom.
Robin or Graham?
The Dark Corners Expert bench is very deep.
Your dads cameos are awesome and I don't mean his vids on cameo. Although, I'm sure those are fine as well.
Another appearance by The Masked Science Advisor, Dad!
To be clear, the Science Advisor and the Lucha libre advisor are two different people. We don't know how this rumour of them being the same person ever got started.
The only way to discover the true identity of the Masked Science Advisor is to beat him in a Mask vs Hair Match.
Having seen "The Robot vs The Aztec Mummy",I can't believe this film is actually worse.But it is.
So you for a reboot you need two tall Amazon Women who can wrestle? I'd say Rhea Ripley & Raquel Rodriguez.
Your "Lucha Libre Advisor" is very shrewd. I would double his fee, if I were you 🙂
Absolutely. What is twice zero?
😄😆😂@@DarkCornersReviews
.."so dad, i need you to do this now..."
Hmmm....that Lucha Libre Advisor sounds a great deal like...I don't know, it's at the tip of my fingers...someone who's appeared on this channel before...
In my quest to be half as cool as ROBIN I ordered a. Judith o' dea
Shirt. 100% satisfied
High quality. Durable
"Look he's afraid of fire." ......Well....who isn't?
I found the creature design in this one to be fantastic.
The Hammer Mummy special was fantastic..Great films..There's just nobody like Cushing,Lee and Ripper around these days I guess it was lightning in a bottle kind of time.
Penny Marshal and Cindy Williams
If you were a desiccated husk covered in millennia old bandages, you’d be scared of fire too!
For some reason I all of a sudden want a teriyaki taco. Hmm..........
..."Boy, do they."...😂
TS:0:36, And already better than that April Fools Crap, kudos for that alone.. !!!🙏✨👌👻🐲❣️
New Golden Ruby & Gloria Venus should be Salma Hayek & Sofía Vergara.
Cool looking mummy though...
