I have to say: though mid-70s luchador movies with other stars are made in a more dynamic, less boxy way, demonstrating — to my eyes — the influence of Italian movies, they are missing the special #Santo charm. In terms of acting and line delivery, there is nothing to separate one luchador from another. But at the risk of getting metaphysical, there’s something about Santo’s shape and the way he runs and the way he holds himself. He’s a unique screen presence.
I'm pretty bummed that #Indicator didn't follow up on its #luchador film releases with more. I really expected them to release at least a few more #Santo films. Did they plan to?
I was hoping for...
Operation 67
Santo and Blue Demon vs the Monsters
The Mummies of Guanajuato
The Treasure of Montezuma
...and maybe a few more of the luchadora films.
Too bad. A real disappointment.
