Aztec Mummy?!?!?!?!?!? I don't think the Aztecs had mummies (though I may be wrong on that one).

Well, The Worst Movies of All Time by Michael Sauter includes this helpful description: 'Sort of a cross between the Frankenstein monster and the Wizard of Oz scarecrow.' Apparently, the Mummy's a sort of Mexican Godzilla, popping up in film after film to vanquish equally cheezy opponents (Robot being #3 in the series).
Which means the really funny part, according to Sauter, isn't so much the monster as the scientists' surprised reaction when he shows up once again: 'Don't scientists in Mexican horror movies read the newspapers?'

Samson vs the vampire women...i thought that was a terrible mexican wrestling movie.

Then I saw this film.

Aztec mummy, the walking undead who seeks the breastplate, but can't stand flashlights. The robot took 20 minutes to put together using cardboard, elmer's glue, and lego blocks. Plus, most of movie was some guy telling a story thru flashback made this a chore to watch. I really died over the authentic Aztec ceremony and Joel muting the girl singing.

Oh, that guy Bruno with bad skin condition really looked bitter.

after having seen this again, this is one of the slowest moving films ever with slow motion scenes, very awful acting by the "Bat", and aforementioned crappy battle between bandage boy and tin can man.

the demon dogs sketches were great! especially the one in the theater (seeing Joel run out!)
