I noticed that various vendors on ebay have a dvd release for the films CAMPEONES JUSTICIEROS and MISTERIO EN LAS BERMUDAS.I question wether these dvds are authorized,mainly because in a big red caption it states"Inspiration for Nacho Libre" leading me to believe these dvds are just fast ways to cash in for some people,and they probably felt they could get away with copyright infringement on these films.

What company put the disc out? Brentwood released both films as part of their Spanish language only "Luchadores Enmascarados" series, so maybe they slapped subs on them and repackaged them to the gringo market to try and cash in on NACHO LIBRE. I have it set to come next from Netflix, so I'll be able to post a review of them soon.

it wouldn't surprise me to see any of the lucha movies released to capitalize on Nacho's "success".
i mean, it was a success, wasn't it? pleh. maybe i mean suckness.

I checked.These are indeed Brentwood releases though the subtitles leave alot to be desired from what I understand.

That figures they screwed up the subs, but at least they aren't unauthorized discs. Brentwood's more prestigious label, BCI is supposed to be releasing a Mexican Horror series of double feature discs soon, although the first two releases are less than stellar- NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES and DOLL PEOLPE, which is decent enough but the other disc is 2 gory cheap features from the 80s. At least the Casa Negra dvds are coming out. I can't wait for the Brainiac and EL VAMPIRO saga discs to be released!! If NACHO LIBRE gets more Lucha Hero movies released on disc and makes the films more accesible to US audiences, then I'll call it a sucess, even if the movie itself stinks(though I haven't seen it, so I can't say)

imagine BCI involved in an unauthorized release~!  anyway, i bought the DVD today for $7.99 at Best Buy. it's a flipper disc, one movie on each side. i started the CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE one, it looks decent, and 3 minutes into it the subs are OK. my Spanish is adequate, but not great, but so far the subs look fine.
i like the Champions series, especially when they add Wonder Woman- i mean the female luchadore, anyway.

Hey David, if you get a chance can you pick me up a copy of the disc and i'll either pay you back or add it to that trade we're planning after I move. I'm holding my Netflix discs I have now until after we get moved and settled in and i get the adress changed there, and this disc seems to be in high demand anyways as it has had a "short wait" for the past 2 or 3 weeks now!
