After watching a 'gosi film (ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN) and playing in the park for a couple of hours, he's finally decided to take a little nap. So, I decided to catch up on a couple of DVDs I've had lying around. I'm currently watching LEYENDAS MACABRAS DE LA COLONIA with Mil Mascaras, Tinieblas, and some other guy with a white mask. This is one of those times that speaking Spanish would really come in handy. After a 22 minute dull wrestling match at the beginning, it would appear that Mil Mascaras and friends have been somehow transported back into Mexico's past. There are conquistadores, aztecs(?), a zombie-like woman, witches, and some ugly weird-guy playing an organ and laughing every 15 minutes. I would really like to know what the hell is going on here!!! Brant

They go off to a wrestling match, where Tinieblas has to face 3 Aztecs in the ring(!?) The film ends with the 3 Aztecs running towards Tinieblas (who ducks down) and they bang into each other. One of the Aztec warrior's wigs came off and was laying on the side of the ring, in full view. The End. WTF?!!! Next up EL ROBO DE LAS MOMIAS DE GUANAJUATO! Brant

It was actually quite a bit of fun. I especially loved how easily the 5 midgets were able to beat down these muscle-bound wrestling heroes. The mummies looked good too, with more of an attempt to make their hands look mummified, which always seems to get missed in these films. I also liked that the 3 heroes maintained their capes throughout, which gave them more of a super-hero appearance. The end seemed a bit abrupt to me, however, but all in all I enjoyed this film a lot (though I couldn't understand a word they said). Brant Last Edited By: Howling Beast Oct 2 08 1:24 PM.

Everything came together really well and has a well-grounded sense of insanity. Explaining the plot to my wife was quite an adventure itself; Cagliostro and a mad scientist stealing mummies, bringing them to life and then replacing their brains with little computers, digging up explosive ore for bombs to threaten the world to not have wars... crazy stuff, but well put together so that it all kinda makes sense while you're watching it. -Shonokin The Pulp Reader

When one of the characters breaks the time travel spell at the end, it's funny how the way she does it manages to be dramatic and to have a kind of slapstick look at the same time.

Seems like the film captured at least some of the visual mayhem of these books... FromPartsUnknown.com VintageNinja.net
