As unintentional comedies go, this is one of the funnier ones that I've seen lately. This first sequel to "The Aztec Mummy" shows us what happens as the fiendish Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castaneda) is freed from police custody by his thuggish underlings, and is still determined to plunder local Aztec treasure to finance his experiments. His plan involves hypnotizing Flora (Rosita Arenas) and getting her to revisit her past life in order to show him the way to the treasure.
But his nemeses refuse to give up despite all the beatings they take. Here, they are joined by a masked crimefighter (Crox Alvarado) in a plot point that prefigures the dominance that masked wrestlers would take in cult Mexican cinema of the 60s and 70s.
I would agree that this is far from being a "good" film, but I found it to be so stupid that it was HILARIOUS. Ridiculous dialogue, lousy dubbing, and cheesy performances abound in this silly (but mostly lively) sequel. It does feature some of the most inept heroes AND villains that one is likely to see in this sort of thing. However, there is simply too much padding in a slim story, and this thing only runs an hour and three minutes to begin with. The title character only gets a scant few minutes (if that) in which to shamble around and kill people.
As bad as this is, it still possesses enough of what I call "clunky charm" to make it passable viewing.
Five out of 10.
