Mil Mascaras: Resurrection

[Shonokin]

OK, I finally tracked this hard to find little bugger down. The wait is worth it, I'm enjoying the crap out of Mil Mascaras: Resurrection.

Wow, the reviews of this are right on. It's always kinda hard to gauge a review that says "seriously, this thing is gonzo and wacky and goofy but wait, it's really incredibly entertaining".

Best Luca-Monstruos movie ever? It could be. Even the wrestling matches (which IMO are typically pretty stale and momentum/story-stopping in the traditional lucha movies) are well edited and a lot of fun to watch. Handsome Harley Race as the ring announcer is the worst part of the movie though.

I wish the producers could get it together and get this thing seen, even if it's branded as a "SyFy Original" or something. Or get it out on DVD ferchristsake!

There's a sequel coming out this year called Aztec Revenge. Which lord only knows when anyone will get a chance to see that one.

I'd love to this the incarnation of the "Champions of Justice" as shown here getting a movie of their own. Blue Demon Jr, Neutron, Huracan Ramirez Jr, Dos Caras, Argozan, La Torcha, Maura Incognita, El Medico Angel, El Cardo, Trench Fighter and of course, Mil... it's a great mix.

This will be playing at San Francisco's horror/scifi festival "Another Hole in the Head". July 22nd at the Roxie.
They'll also be showing the sequel "ACADEMY OF DOOM".
