'Santo' contra los secuestradores

Subpar Santo flick. The fights are well shot and exciting enough but the filler and the comedic shenanigans by Evaristo (Ecuatorian comedian) really hurt the movie. A lot of plot elements are also derivative as we saw them in other Santo entries so theres nothing new here.

An overall flawed movie with decent moments here and there.

Mostly recommended for Santo and wrestling movie completists.

This film is a comedy,not a science fiction movie like most Santo movies,but is much better because the story is about a sexy exotic dancer(Rossy Mendoza,who looks gorgeous in this film)who have a brother who was kidnapped,and ask Santo help her to find him.Also she have a friend a drifter who always help her,but this man win 3 million in race horses,but always be in trouble and meet the chief police who go with him to the cabaret to see Rossy Mendoza and there meet Santo,have several scenes of Santo Fight with bad guys and Rossy Mendoza dance numbers with bikini(the best of the movie)then results the price is fake and also the people who kidnapped Rossy s brother are the cabaret owner. but at the end everything works well. Much Santo movies try to be Batman 60s series or James Bond movies wannabe,thats why this movie is better because don't have that kind of script.Don't miss Rossy Mendoza one of the sexiest woman in Mexican films.

Um....Interesting one that one. That wasn't exactly the best movie to ease ourselves back into the swing of writing and posting these reviews. We have taken a month off to sort a lot of glitches and stuff out, and now we start out again with a movie that was entirely in Spanish and seemed to lack any desirable story-line of any kind. Like, usually when you watch a foreign movie, even without the subtitles on you can normally discern some kind of logical story progression. Not so much here. We are still totally at a loss as to what actually happened here. The production and technical elements of the film were very good and had the story been better we probably would have been able to enjoy it. But as it was, we found ourselves kind of...adrift. And I am not comforted by the fact that I know we have many more 'Santo' movies to go. A note needs to me made however in reference to Rossy Mendoza, a Mexican beauty queen. Who unlike a lot of American or British Beauty queens who seek a life in feature films, actually seemed to have some genuine acting talent. It was very tasteful and not at all slutty, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let it slide. Overall we thought that, while this film was well out together tech wise, it lacked the actual substance and story to make the film an enjoyable experience.
