Santo y Blue Demon vs Drácula y el Hombre Lobo

Sit back and relax. You are back in the seventies, and this is not a bad movie.I heard of Santo movies for a long time but never could get any until this one. It is very difficult, if not impossible to get it in zone 2 dubbed or subtitled, and I could only watch it in Spanish.

Well, the movie is a good one. Adventure movie, that is. It is surprisingly well filmed with bright colors,The characters are well defined, and the acting is good with a good plot : Santo y Dlue Demon save the world from the undead invasion. Of course don't wait great GFX, you are back in 73, but some recent movies are far worse than this one, even with a lot of CGI. See Van Helsing if you don't trust me. a lot of action, a lot of brawling and wrestling and some funny make up. I had exactly what I paid for : 1h40 of entertainment.

Well, folks, I just witnessed the ultimate showdown between luchadores and classic movie monsters, and let me tell you, it's as bizarre as it sounds. Santo and Blue Demon put on their tights and masks to take on Dracula and the Wolf Man in the squared circle. This film is like a fever dream concocted by someone with a passion for both wrestling and Universal horror. The result? It's... okay.

First off, let's talk about the positives. The wrestling scenes are strangely entertaining. Seeing Santo and Blue Demon grapple with the supernatural is a sight to behold. The film's commitment to its absurd premise is commendable, and there are moments where you can't help but chuckle at the sheer lunacy of it all. It's a unique crossover, to say the least.

However, "Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dracula and the Wolf Man" struggles in the storytelling department. The plot is thin, and the pacing is all over the place. It's like they threw a bunch of wacky ideas into a blender and hit the "mix" button. Also, the special effects are, well, charmingly low-budget, but they won't be winning any awards. So, if you're in the mood for a cinematic oddity that's just okay and have a soft spot for masked wrestlers taking on monsters, this one might be worth a watch. Otherwise, you might want to pass on this curious collision of genres.

Mexico's masked wrestling superhero, El Santo, is back in action - this time fighting Count Dracula and the Wolf Man! At his side is the legendary Blue Demon, another great wrestler/crimefighter. They make a mucho grande team. The film's a cheesy delight in part, marred by some slow moments. Still plenty of two-fisted action and loud '70s fashions, though. Highlights: the warehouse brawl, Santo and Blue enjoying a dinner date with their girlfriends at a restaurant, dressed in suits and wearing their masks. (Yep, they never take 'em off.)

After facing defeat at the hands of Cristaldi the magician, Dracula is back to seek revenge and rule the world in SANTO Y BLUE DEMON VS. DRACULA AND THE WOLFMAN. With the help of the Wolfman and his legion of followers, victory seems imminent. Professor Cristaldi, a descendant of the magician, is warned about Dracula's plans and calls upon El Santo and Blue Demon in the hopes that they can put the infamous count and the werewolf down for good.

Nice underground entertainment with two wrestlers as heroes. The protect their beautiful girlfriend against a shallow Dracula and a great wolfman. Very cheesy but kind of fun with lots of fights.

The only version of this movie I could find was neither dubbed, nor subtitled. This means that, as a white girl who was born and raised in California, I understand about 25% of what the characters are saying. No matter, I still love this film! The good and noble El Santo, professional wrestler and crimefighter, teams up with his best buddy, the Blue Demon, to battle the newly risen Dracula and his gold disco-shirted sidekick, Rufus Rex the Werewolf! There's some great, cheesy, fun stuff here: underground laboratories, a rubber bat that flaps its wings spastically (in a scene that made me laugh so hard I almost fell off my chair) before turning into the suave Dracula, a little girl with the worlds worst mullet and, last but not least, a pit lined with sharpened stakes, over which our heroes must walk on a narrow plank. Darn those pesky werewolves, they keep shaking the plank and the tension is insufferable!!! El Santo battles through it all to save his lovely girlfriend and his buddy Blue Demon, and there's time enough for a few games of chess and cards and, of course, a couple of wrestling matches before it's all over and the good guys live happily ever after.

If you like corny Dracula films and honest-to-goodness wrestling matches, then do NOT miss this one! It's a lot of fun. All of the Santo films are.
