Women wrestlers, monsters, and mad doctors; in other words, two perfect motion pictures! Though he has already created a half man-half ape named Gomar, a mad doctor's experiments on female brain transplants have been failu... more »res. Why? "The brains come from totally uneducated women!" But the Doctor of Doom quickly zeroes in on "a stronger type of woman" in the form of gorgeous wrestling pals Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi, sending Gomar and his henchmen to abduct them. After Gloria throws acid in his face, the doc, disfigured and crazier than ever, puts Gomar's gorilla brain into the body of one of Gloria's galpals to create "Vendetta," a Superhuman Wrestling Woman whose goal is to kill Gloria in the ring! Plus, Gloria Venus (now renamed Loretta) and Golden Rubi are back to crack the heads of an Asian gang led by a Fu Manchu-like character known as "The Black Dragon," who's killing off archaeologists in hops of discovering the Treasure of the Aztecs. Entering a tomb and discovering the living remains of a mummified witch doctor who can also change himself into a spider and bat, it time for the main event: The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy!« less
"Just watched this fantastic DVD. Fans of Something Weird or fans of insane movies in general will love it! But don't just buy this disk for the movies. The EXTRAS are the best part. Especially Ghoul A Go Go. This public access tv show out of Long Island is the coolest! Any fan of the whole Horror Host scene must see for him/herself Vlad (the coolest vampire cat on the tube) and Creighton (the baddest/cuddliest hunchback you've ever seen) keep TV creepy with the most whacked-out kids dance show ever. So, put on your Go Go boots and get ready to twist... or boogaloo... or swim.... or...."
Chilling! Thrilling! Zonked out!

"The first of what is promised to be a release of Mexican horror films purchased from Mexico by exploitation meister K. Gordon Murray in the early Sixties. Lots of related TV spots/trailers, with LOTS!!! OF!!! ECHO!!! ON!!! THE!!!! ANNOUNCER'S!!! VOICE!!!! Good reading on the included eight page booklet talking about Murray's career. Wacky gorillas! Mad scientists! Masked wrestlers! Bad Twist music! These have got it all. But I can't wait for my two favorites, once glimpsed in a drunken state at 3:00 a.m. on a New Jersey UHF station: The Brainiac and the truly creepy Curse of The Doll People! Cursed dolls come to life and start stabbing people to death! THis is 30 years before "Chucky", remember!"

"If you're a fan of horror hosts and demented daytime kid's TV shows check out the extras on this product. Bonus episodes of the great underground program, "Ghoul-A-Go-Go" featuring the creepy Vlad and Creighton. Great stuff. My daughter absolutely loves Creighton, a king-size hunchback mute with an obsession for classic 60s go-go dancing and who happens to horde a collection of bizarre film footage. Performances by contemporary retro-garage rock bands are a treat, too. Don't overlook this!"
BETTER THAN THE ROBOT

"With this double feature we do not get eggroll. We get the first movie, DOCTOR OF DOOM, which we can skip because we only bought the DVD to watch the other movie, so intrigued were we by the title. WRESTLING WOMEN VS THE AZTEC MUMMY is indeed better that THE ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY, which came from the same source, K. Gordon Murray dumpster diving behind the Mexican cinema lots again. I won't get into LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS but if you buy this DVD you can see the trailer from it. Only seeing is believing.
WRESTLING WOMEN actually has a few yucks going for it, and if you are into bad movies, well, you could do worse."
K Gordon Murray Wrestling Mummy Madness

"This Something Weird Video double-bill features Doctor of Doom(80mins/1962) and Wrestling Women vs. The Aztec Mummy(89mins/1964). Both movies were originally in Spanish and now dubbed in English. Both movies feature virtually the same cast with the two main lady wrestlers, the two detectives, and the one sinister bad man. Both movies also feature menacing mad doctors out to create the ultimate indestructible goofy looking 'monster thing'. Silly, spooky, and charming at the same time.
Additionally you get a bunch of extras. There are 6 trailers(Black Pit of Dr. M, Little Red Riding Hood & the Monsters, Creature of the Walking Dead, The Vampire's Coffin/The Robot vs The Aztec Mummy, Face of the Screaming Werewolf, Little Red Riding Hood). There are also 10 TV Spots(The Phantom in the Red House, The Genie of Darkness, Brainiac, The Living Head, The Invasion of the Vampires, Sampson vs The Vampire Women, The Vampire, The Witch's Mirror, The Curse of the Crying Woman, The Blood of Nostradamus). You get the demented 'echo booming' voice for each trailer.
Lastly, you get episode 3: Spiders of the monster kidie show Ghoul A-Go-Go along with the Gallery of Exploitation Art for the K Gordon Murray Collection with music by The Dead Elvi. The Ghoul episode runs 28 mins and the Murray Collection runs 16 mins. The Ghoul A-Go-Go is definately some looney material. Gotta see it to believe it. The K Gordon Murray art collection takes you back to the days of drive-in fun with those kooky movie posters. This collection is deserving of the title 'Something Weird'."
