gorf The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy is probably one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. It took me five times before I finally managed to finish it. I just couldn't stay awake...It's so darn uninteresting. It's just a long summary of the previous movies in the series...this is not one of those movies that are "so bad they're good". It's just bad. The fight between the Aztec Mummy and the robot must be the worst fight scene in movie history. It almost makes me believe that I fell asleep again and had a nightmare.The only positive thing I can say about it is that there's nothing truly offensive in it. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad (in more ways than one). The pagan mummy can be defeated by the Cross. Then there's the classic "evil scientists shouldn't mess around with dangerous stuff" theme. It's too bad the rest of the movie smells worse than a mummy's breath.
O2D While continuing the saga of the Aztec Mummy,they manage to raise more questions than they answer. A good portion of this movie is them flashing back to the last movie.They tie up some loose ends but raise some questions too. The scientist says the mummy won't go back to its home because of the explosion but in the first movie there had already been an explosion there and the mummy was still there. The best part is the guy who got fake injured in the last movie now has half his face burnt off and he walks around like the phantom of the opera. Sadly,there's no wrestlers in this one. It's just more people dying from getting gingerly pushed and lots of bad acting. If you saw the The Curse Of The Aztec Mummy, you have to see this.
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1957, Rather mad scientist movie about a scientist robot makers that gets his human heart powered robot to attack and steal an secret Aztec treasure protected by a dangerous Aztec mummy. The Mexican wrestler, The Saint, becomes a policeman to oversee the drama.*Special Stars- Ramon Gay, Rosa Arenas *Theme- Mummies are too dangerous.*Based on- Frankenstein and mummy myths.*Trivia/location/goofs- Mexican film featuring private investigator wrestlers, Aztec mummies and robots.*Emotion- The is solid fodder for the MST3000 TV show for the worst films. This film has a tremendous lead-up during the suspense of this epic. The overly dramatic corny scene music out does what's on the screen. The characters mostly over act with huge gestures ala a theatrical performance. The villain, The Bat, eats up the scenery and out shines all others in the scenes with him. The money spent on the human atomic robot of the villain is ordinary to see. The use of the robot after the build up is very slow and pedantic for in-terminal minutes of boredom. The end has the Aztec mummy to be the honorable hero warrior as he destroys the robot after the electronic control is broken with a gunshot from police. The female lead gives the mummy the stolen Aztec relics that she stole many long minutes ago. The mummy just leaves peaceably and the shows end is a real downer. Not drama, no fight scenes, no nothing worth watching. A campy film that makes the ring wrestlers of that time into heroic men that fight to restore the Aztec treasures and mummy.
funkyfry 2/3 of this movie is recycled footage of the previous movies, a fact that's sadly obvious even to someone like myself who hasn't seen the original movies. And somehow it feels like a rip-off even though I haven't seen the stuff before. It's like that episode of every TV show where the characters sit around a photo album or something and you just see recycled footage of other episodes. I've seen some producers do extended montages of recycled footage, but never anything beyond 5 minutes or so. This movie is mostly stuff that had already been seen by audiences, so you could mount a case that it's one of the biggest rip-offs ever foisted on the motion picture public.I got to see it in the theater, in a 16mm print, which is good enough I suppose considering how rare this kind of material must be on film these days. I give the movie some credit for semi-convincing Gothic atmosphere and for unintentional humor, but that's about it. The Aztec mummy monster looks good, even has some mobility in his face which is better than most movie monsters of the period. But the robot is pitiful, although it's interesting that they made the human face totally visible. It's a "robot human" or something of the sort as they somewhat explain in the movie. I think that's considered an android. So technically in hard sci-fi terms this movie should be called "Android vs. the Aztec Mummy", but I doubt anyone was too worried about technicalities here anymore than they were worried about quality. In fact the movie is so sloppily put together that it makes television look good. Even the dubbing from Mexican into English is lazy and weak -- for example at one point the hero says "I might as well begin at the beginning...." what the heck kind of translation is that? Couldn't they at least have him say "start at the beginning" so that it doesn't sound repetitive? A high school newspaper editor could have fixed the screenplay of this movie. It's the epitome of utilitarian film-making, just absolutely nothing is in this movie that doesn't need to be there for the basic commercial purpose of the film. They put no more effort into making it than they had to, and considering the extensive recycled footage I would doubt that they actually spent more than a week making this movie.I will now cease posting about it on the principle that I don't want to expend more energy in the process of commenting than the creators of the movie actually expended while making it.
