10 Outrageous Mexican Wrestling Films You Need To See

Assisted by Gomar, an ape with a human brain, Professor Ruiz kidnaps young women for his brain transplant experiments, but one of his victims turns out to be the sister of Gloria Venus, Mexico’s most famous luchadora, who teams up with Golden Rubi to take revenge.

Words alone cannot express how much dumb, delirious fun this movie is to watch: as well as the expected bad dubbing and obvious stunt doubles, there’s some hilariously awful makeup and a hammy villain whose motivation appears to have been to give Vincent Price’s Dr Goldfoot a run for his money.

Strangest of all (discuss) is the sequence where the Prof transplants Gomar’s brain into the body of a luchadora named Vendetta before sending her (him?) to kill our heroines. Naturally, things don't work out as planned, and the girls returned in Wrestling Women Vs The Aztec Mummy a year later.
