Description
DOS PELICULAS MEXICANAS pays homage to the cinematic genre of lucha libre, a form of Mexican wrestling marked by the use of masks, tag teams, and high-flying acrobatics. Starting out in the 1950s as typical gangster crime dramas, '60s and '70s lucha libre employed increasingly outlandish storylines involving supernatural foes like aliens, mummies, and zombies. A fun mix of sci-fi, horror, comedy, action, and suspense, this campy doubleheader from the golden age of '70s lucha libre features some of the genre's biggest stars, including Mil Mascaras, Blue Angel, Tinieblas, and El Rayo de Jalisco: LEYENDAS MACABRAS DE LA COLOMA (1974) and EL ROBO DE LAS MOMIAS GUANAJUATO (1972).
