About the film
Mil Mascaras is a renaissance man of international repute. He is a connoisseur of the arts, a scholar of science and humanity, and a masked wrestler. Like his fellow luchadores, El Santo and Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras is often called upon to assist the authorities in combating threats to mankind, whether they are seductive vampire women, lycanthropic madmen, or invaders from other worlds. However, no threat has ever been greater than that posed by the Aztec mummy. In this story, the Aztec mummy is resurrected by the power of the gem of Tonauac. Using its power, the Aztec mummy is able to control the minds of men, even those of strong pedigree and erudition. Determined to lead the ascendancy of the Aztec nation over the descendants of its past conquerors, the Aztec mummy conspires to manipulate men of power for his own ends. Whether Mil Mascaras can be corrupted by the influence of his undead adversary is not clear, but the answer hinges upon the secret of his mask -- a mask which has been passed down to him from his ancestors since time in memoriam.
Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy (aka Mil Mascaras: Resurrection) is the most spectacular and colorful lucha film ever made, with appearances by El Hijo del Santo, Blue Demon Jr, Huracan Ramirez Jr, Neutron, Dos Caras, Argozan, La Torcha, and even the legendary American wrestler, Harley Race. It is the first genuine lucha film to be originally produced in English, and it is the first to include major Hollywood co-stars since John Carradine starred with Mil Mascaras in the classic 1970 film Las Vampiras.
Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy has played to enthusiastic
audiences at film festivals around the world and has garnered rave reviews
from critics (1,2). There can be no doubt that this film will create a new
generation of lucha film fans.
