This is one of the strangest films ever made. Mad Dog Joe DeCurso is jailed for accidentally kicking the head off his opponent in the ring, and years later, a documentary crew attempts to discover whether mystery wrestler The Mask is really DeCurso in disguise. At least, we think thats the plot. This film makes less sense than a toothless opera singer, but thats the gist. The Mask bulls his way through umpteen challengers before hitting the main event, including John Tolos, Mando Guerrero as a human bull (echoing both El Torito and the Mantaur), and Exotic Adrian Street. With the finish about to echo the prologue, and The Masks opponent trapped and ready for his head to be kicked off, who should pull an interference run in to save the day but Mad Dog Joe DeCurso! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj76ka0XCUI Yeah turns out he wasnt under The Masks mask after all, thus rendering the documentary crews mission utterly redundant. The films got some fairly decent wrestling footage interspersed amongst the weirdness, including one memorable scene with The Mask versus the Human Pyramid, an impossibly tall wrestler in a robe thats revealed to be five little people on each others shoulders. Take some time out with a beer or twelve and let us know what you think.
