Viewing Notes
Seriously. I will never tire of seeing Santo wrestling in the ring filmed in a studio with nothing around the ring yet there is crowd noise. Just makes me curious as to why they didn’t film at an actual wrestling venue and fill the stands with extras. It’s just so amusing to see.
Given the premise this isn’t a very good Santo flick. It redeems itself a bit in that final battle with all the wolfmen but everything leading up to it drags. It’s kinda sad that Santo and Blue Demon couldn’t get better filmmakers to execute on these stories b/c both those wrestlers are great.
I’m glad to have this dvd set but I wish I had gotten the other one that this label released at the time. It’s nuts that this set is being sold for $400+ (I don’t think anyone is buying at that price). One of these boutique labels needs to step on and get on these films.
