"This movie doesn't make much sense but it has a vivacious verve that complements its lunatic storyline ... packed with sexy female wrestlers, rampaging monkeys and mad scientists. Full of hilarious moments ... it's a lot of fun." - THE SPINNING IMAGE

From the twisted bowels of the Mexican movie industry comes this utterly bonkers 60s action flick featuring battling beauties and murdering monsters!
Directed by famed Mexican schlock master Rene Cardona (Night of the Bloody Apes, and (badly) dubbed into an even more atrocious English version by American schlock master K. Gordon Murray (Shanty Tramp, Naughty in New York), WRESTLING WOMEN VS. THE AZTEC APE, also known as "Doctor of Doom" in some circles, is everything you could hope for in a female wrestling/monster flick, and maybe even a bit more.
Through a Mad Doctor has already succeeded in creating "Gomar," a half-man-half-ape, the Doc's experiments on female brain transplants have all been failures. Why? "The brains have come from totally uneducated women!" But when "an intellectual" woman also dies on his operating table, the DOCTOR OF DOOM quickly zeroes in on "a stronger type of woman" and targets gorgeous wrestling gals Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi (decked out in pointy bras, silver capes and mile-high hair).
Sending Gomar and his henchmen to abduct them, the Mad Doctor is royally annoyed when Gloria throws acid in his face. Disfigured and crazier than ever, the revenge-crazed loon puts Gomar's gorilla brain into the body of one of Gloria's galpals to create "Vendetta," a Superhuman Wrestling Woman (with a very low IQ) whose life goal is to kill Gloria in the ring: "Tremble, Gloria Venus, tremble! Hahahahhahahahaha!"

(Rene Cardona, 1962, Mexico, in badly dubbed English, 80 mins., Not Rated)
