Anyway the main point of my post was to point out that the triple feature found in the Wal-Mart $5. bin seems to be available from their web site. If you click on the picture it should/will take you to their web-site and the listing that includes the aforementioned Luchadores Triple feature.

Problem with that listing for...

Yes Santito does appear in the docu.Blue Sr and Jr appear in the Demon portion of the show which seems to indicate the show is a few years old by now.

Thanks for the clarification! I thought the Silver mask looked different. Does El Hijo del Santo appear in the documentaries (perhaps justifying his being on the cover)? Anyway the main point of my post was to point out...

This double-feature appears to be documentaries made for a TV series. Curiously, the photo of "El Santo" is actually El Hijo del Santo.

The credited director is Luis Kelly, who also made a feature film which sounds very interesting (sadly, I've never seen it, so the following synopsis may not be 100% correct!):

Calacán (Grupo Emulsión y Gelatina--IMCINE--DASA Films--Focimagen, 1985)...

I think at least one of the titles mentioned in this thread might be able to be
ordered directly from the Wal-Mart site. The picture above is another title available
at their site and you can access the listings...

Don't feel bad about dozing off.This movie was just a very bad attempt by Gloria Mayo and Antonio Pena [who coproduced this film] in cashing in on the the hip trend of lucha libre.The movie made no snese whatsoever,particularly the fact that the bad guy lived in a part of Mexico City that seemed to be suffering from nuclear fallout. I kid you not.

Blue Demon Jr. has a wrestling-only role in this movie. The heroes in the plot are El Volador and El Misterioso. Vampiro--Guerrero de la noche is a semi-sequel to Luchadores de las estrellas (linked via the character "Larrosa" played by Gloria Mayo).

Blue Jr however DOES have a very sizable cameo in the late 80's Mil Mascaras flick LA LLAVE MORTAL as part of Mil's luchador team who face off against a group of martial artists in a lucha libre vs karate tournament.

Oh I completely had forgotten about this movie and interestingly it's absent from IMDB.

He also appears in another recent video documentary VIVE GUERRERO: A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF EDDIE GUERRERO.
