For a movie called "Wrestling Women Vs. The Aztec Mummy", this one doesn't really have much of either. There are only two in-ring wrestling sequences; the long one (about 10 minutes), pitting Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi against two female judo experts from Japan, is probably the highlight of the entire film, but the other, a short bout at the start, is actually lifted footage from the first film in the series, "Doctor Of Doom". As for the Aztec Mummy, it doesn't appear until the last 20 minutes, but it does look (and sound) pretty creepy, in a low-budget way of course. Until then, the main villain is a Fu Manchu wannabe who is not nearly as entertaining as the mad doctor of the first movie. Lorena Velázquez and Elizabeth Campbell are still deliciously curvy and satisfyingly strong, but the movie suffers from too much padding (once they find the mummy's tomb, they keep going in & out of it), and although it seems to have higher production values than "Doctor Of Doom", it's not quite as much fun. ** out of 4.

This is a very strange blending of genres. On one hand, it's a Mexican wrestling movie with lots of buxom babes who love to tumble. On the other, it's a Mexican variation on THE MUMMY. Oddly, however, neither of these story lines actually are integrated into each other--like two small crappy films stuck together.The film begins with some baddie (the head of the Black Dragons) trying to get the last clues to discover the whereabouts of an Aztec treasure. Of course, he has sisters who are Judo champs who have come to kick the butts of two pretty wrestlers in order to get this information! To make things weirder, he and the judo ladies are supposed to be Japanese--though they look amazingly like Mexicans.Later in the film, after LOTS of filler consisting of wrestling matches, the good guys are able to discover the treasure but accidentally unleash a nasty mummy. The mummy actually helps them at first by destroying all the Black Dragons in a slow-motion fight that looks like it shouldn't have hurt them...let alone kill them. But, after killing these folks, the mummy comes looking for the good guys. Who will win? Who cares?! Overall, both segments of the film are relatively poorly made, but the mummy part is worst because it ends so badly. This mummy is part vampire (I kid you not) and can turn into bats (the cheesiest and least realistic type I've ever seen) and tarantulas. And, in the end, he's amazingly easy to destroy. In fact, this is so anticlimactic that you are left wondering if they just ran out of film.Some bad movies are so badly made and stupid that they are oddly watchable on a camp level. This one, however, is bad but never quite bad enough to be fun--just bad. Watch it if you want, but it will not be a particularly enjoyable experience unless you are a die-hard bad movie fiend. If you want to see a better Aztec mummy film (believe it or not, there are several more), try watching THE HUMAN ROBOT VERSUS THE AZTEC MUMMY--it is terrible but quite enjoyable at the same time.By the way, this film and DOCTOR OF DOOM (1963) are included on the same DVD. Interestingly, BOTH films share many of the same scenes and it appears as if they basically created one movie and filmed a few extra scenes in order to make two films! While cheap and crappy, it also made for many incomprehensible moments and a lot of repetition.

(aka: WRESTLING WOMEN vs. THE AZTEC MUMMY)Our two wrestling babes from DOCTOR OF DOOM are back, ready to kick some more ass.This time it's a oriental villain called the Red Dragon who is having his gang kill off a group of archeologists who have stumbled on to code that will lead them to an Aztec treasure. The Red Dragon needs the last surviving member of the group, a Dr. Tracy, in order to get it. And of course our two wrestling babes are called in to help.
This one is so laughingly bad, it had my sides splitting. I love the scene where they encounter the Aztec mummy in the tomb and he looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask. And then he changes into a bat, too! (laughs)The Something Weird video is doubled up with DOCTOR OF DOOM and has tons of extras including many trailers for other Mexican horror films they have in their library. Although the b/w print shows it's age, it's far better than the old grainy VHS tape. 6 out of 10 for giving it the old college try
(more laughs)

There are 2 versions of this film.There is the Rhino release called "Rock And Roll Wrestling Women Vs The Aztec Mummy".The dialogue was removed and it was turned into a musical. It is also missing about 30 minutes of film. Skip that and watch this one.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 seeking the breast plate.As usual the comic relief in these movies really grates on you.He does have some cool lines but you would like to see the Mummy remove his pea sized brain forcibly. Some of the Wrestling scenes drag on but that is worshipped in Mexico and a main part of the plot.The Mummy doesn't show up until an hour into the film and that is too bad.He is pretty scary and vicious.But this movie is better than average and deserves a look when you're in the mood for something not too taxing.
