The silver masked hero fights Martians intent on taking over the earth in this twisted and wonderful mexican film from 1966 Shot in beautiful Black and White, the Martians look like wrestlers who land in a saucer and make several hundred people disappear after they issue a warning that is not taken to seriously by the people of Mexico.
The female Martians try and seduce Santo, but the doesn't work and finally he defeats them all after several bouts in the ring and fisticuffs elsewhere.
This is an entertaining film, but it could have been much more is some effort had been put into it. It is interesting to note Wolf Ruvinskis who was Neutron in several other wrestling/sci0fi movies is here as well as a wrestler named The Nazi, who plays the head Martian.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre.
