Matt R Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi team up to take on DOCTOR OF DOOM (1963) in the first Las Luchadoras picture! There is a mad masked doctor with his minions and ape-man Gomar taking women off the street for experiments and ending up dead. The strong, smart and attractive women wrestlers help the police solve the mystery. Unlike El Santo or Blue Demon, actresses Lorena Velazquez and Elizabeth Campbell played wrestlers Venus and Rubi. They ended up doing a few René Cardona movies together. They also had real wrestlers as doubles in several shots too but don't let that stop you from enjoying this wrestlers versus mad scientist and monster flick. Producer K. Gordon Murray dubbed LAS LUCHADORAS VS. EL MEDICO ASESINO in English and released it in the USA. I haven't seen it in the original Spanish but the voice talent and editing worked well here. Its fast paced fun with twists and turns to the end. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Doctors experimenting in brain transplants decide the problem is they are using dumb brains and need to find women of higher quality to work on. He has already transplanted an ape brain into a man, so he uses the increasingly more ape-like man to help him "find" these higher quality women who happen to be wrestlers. Actually not as ridiculous as it sounds (but still pretty ridiculous). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member It really is a shame that no image is displayed above of the box art for this harmless little turd. "Doctor of Doom" (or "Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy," if you prefer a more William Castle-style title) is, without a doubt, the cheapest-looking DVD I've ever purchased, judging solely by the packaging in which it was entombed. Seriously, I could create a better cover for the DVD with some clip art and Windows Picture Editor, if you gave me an hour. Unfortunately, the box art was made to warn me of the content within - pity I didn't take heed. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
