The Bat is back with a new plan to get that Aztec treasure so that he can continue his cruel animal experiments. Well, maybe it is the same old plan. He kidnaps Flor, and drugging her, uses hypnosis to learn the location of the breastplate and armband. Luckily our heroes have the aid of a mysterious lucha libre.
Why does The Bat have to hypnotize Flor? Everyone knows the room where the breastplate and armband were last seen within the temple. The Bat followed our âheroesâ on their first excursion into the pyrimid. She canât tell him anything he doesnât already know. Well, it does give a chance for a recap of the beginning of the previous film, so thatâs good I suppose.
If youâve seen the first (and you really should before watching this), you know what you are in for. Itâs a little less tense and a little sillier, but it is basically the same low budget strangeness. While the filmmakers had a juvenile audience in mind all along, that is clearer in The Curse of the Aztec Mummy, with the masked wrestler acting as a kind of superhero, and the âyoung brotherâ getting a bit more action. We even have a scene with the wrestler dangling over a snake pit.
Yes, it is a pretty stupid film, but it is easy to laugh at.
