      Fun 60's wrestling movie.

      Good lucha libre entry. Second film featuring Angel and Satan, two forgotten characters in wrestling cinema but who had solid projects, this being one of then, perhaps their best. The previous entry being "Los endemoniados del ring" which was rather tepid compared to this one.

      A very typical crime/sci-fi plot thats well executed and with unforgettable kitsch imagery. Fun ride with some of the usual padding and crazy ideas but it all comes together nicely. A good example of the genre even if it doesnt do anything too different.

      Recommended mostly for wrestling movie fans and those who enjoy vintage low budget sci-fi.
