Probably one of the best descents into insanity I’ve ever seen, equal parts gorgeous and maddening.
Not the easiest watch at the end of a night of drinking though, pretty heavy…
Batman eat your heart out. You will never be El Angel.
For 1967, having 5 women pivotal to the plot and 4 of them as combatants is pretty insane. The fact they’re either Luchadoras - Wonder Woman could never - or werepanthers with eyebrows sharper than their fangs goes fucking crazy.
It’s hard to know if the sexualisation isn’t that bad or if 60s Mexico cinema wouldn’t allow any more but at least there was only a couple occasions of damselling the otherwise incredible heroines.
Tongolele is an amazing name also?
Rush Hour tried and failed to recreate the magic of like 3 separate scenes in this - the bus scene and the triple take of the finale, falling down the mall especially.
Also the cars driving through the slum at the start was in insane stunt, top to bottom.
