5/10
Inferior sequel, though not without its charms
6 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
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.
