10 Outrageous Mexican Wrestling Films You Need To See
4. Neutron The Atomic Superman Vs The Death Robots
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlX4RGaVLDMLatvian-born Wolf Ruvinskis, a villain in Santo Vs The Martian Invasion, is upgraded to hero in this cheap and campy 1962 entry, but don’t go thinking that his crime fighter is simply a Santo knock-off – Neutron wears a black mask, so he’s a completely different character.
His opponent is Dr Caronte, a supervillain in the Nicolas Cage mould, which means that he has three settings: twitchy, over the top and MWAHAHAHA!!! When the pair last met, in Neutron And The Black Mask, the crime fighter put the kibosh on his scheme to build a bomb, so this time the doc isn’t taking any chances and creates a robot army to help him take over the world.
The doc’s evil masterplan involves stealing the brains of three scientists (literally – he keeps them in jars) and using their stored knowledge to create another super-powerful bomb, although given that he wears a white mask, employs a dwarf assistant and is given to camp theatrics, he shouldn’t prove too hard to track down and defeat.
