VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

gavin6942 A mad doctor (Luis Aceves Castañeda) builds a robot in order to steal a valuable Aztec treasure from a tomb guarded by a centuries-old living mummy (Ángel Di Stefani).The film is the sequel to "The Aztec Mummy" and "The Curse of the Aztec Mummy", both released earlier that year, and a large portion of the film consists of an extended recap of the first two entries in the series.English-language dubbing rights were subsequently acquired by entrepreneur K. Gordon Murray, who distributed the film nationally in 1964, on a programmed double bill with "The Vampire's Coffin", as Young America Productions. Subsequently, he syndicated it to TV, as one in a package of dubbed Mexican horror films which eventually gained a following in the US by their appearance on the USA Cable Network.Now, by all appearances this seems like a bad movie. And it probably is. But is it as bad as it appears? For one thing, most of the public domain versions look terrible, or at least some of the scenes do. Would a better print improve things slightly? Also, in America we have a dubbed version, so maybe some of the goofy line delivery is not really as over-acted as it sounds.

Leofwine_draca I consider myself a fan of the Mexican potboilers made during the '50s and '60s – the plethora of anything-goes flicks that were heavily influenced by American serials and "old dark house" type movies, and which used plot ingredients that ranged from classic horror to cheesy science fiction, Mexican wrestling and beyond. One series made in Mexico in the late '50s was the Aztec Mummy series, in which the mummy clearly owed a debt to the Karloff creation. THE ROBOT VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY is the third film in the said series, and it has to be said that the mummy itself looks more like Christopher Lee in Hammer's THE MUMMY here, except with hair over the bandages! This film is without a doubt one of the cheapest I've seen (okay, perhaps not as cheap as some shot-in-the-brush Thai action flicks I've seen that were made in the 1990s, but still...). For the first HOUR of the film, there are copious flashbacks to the previous movies in the series, where footage of the major scenes is virtually reprised with little point or effort. The wraparound segments involve Dr Eduardo Almada narrating the history of the Aztec Mummy, attempting to make some sense of the messed-up plot, and the US dubbers saw fit to dub his character with the most boring, insanely monotonous voice in history. Staying awake becomes a feat of endurance while watching this movie.Finally, we reach new ground in the last ten minutes of the film, which revolve around the mummy fighting a robot (with a human head inside it) inside a broken-down mausoleum. The film promises a climatic showdown, but this is a brief brawl that lasts around a minute, and it's no real surprise when the robot gets smashed to smithereens – after all, the mummy was the star of the show. The fight is a bit annoying, largely due to the dubbing of the mummy's voice – in the flashbacks to previous films, it has an eerie howl, while here it's more of a grunter, bit like a wild boar.The cast are openly hammy and the plot one of the most confusing out there – whether it's the dubbing or just the slapdash, poorly-edited nature of the scenes I don't know. Characters come and go, some have more than one identity, and other plot elements – like the strangely masculine wife who is a reincarnation of the mummy's lost love – are included to no avail and for no purpose. The music is generally annoying, especially with the early Aztec chanting which is a guaranteed turn-off. Some serial-style moments lift things briefly – there's a snake pit full of (dead) snakes, for example, and some poor guy has acid poured over his face in an accident before turning into a Krueger-style henchman – and sometimes the cheesy dubbing provides some minor amusement. But the film is generally lacking in entertainment value – the mummy's radioactive touch burns its victims, but we only get to see this process happen to one minor character in a (very) effective show-off in the cemetery. Had there been more scenes like that, this film might have got a better rating, but for 99% of the time it's a real dud.

masercot This movie delivered.With a title like Aztec Mummy v. the Robot, you expect drama, action, Aztec mummies and robots; and, by God, this movie deliver two out of four of those. The acting was kind of odd, as if the plot of the dubbed movie was different than that of the original. The hero resembled Marvel Comics' Dr. Strange uncannily. The other male lead looked like a nauseous version of Buddy Holly.Why was the mummy driven away by a cross? Why are scientists, in Mexico, allowed to pillage antiquities at will? What is a doctor of medicine doing practicing archeology and how can he read ancient hieroglyphics? Wasn't it convenient that the doctor knew a soil analyst? Why is the reincarnated princess wearing bags on her feet? And, why was the rattlesnake pit full of boa constrictors?This movie was bad, but very enjoyable. And, short. Mostly presented in flashback form. If it had starred a professional wrestler, this movie could've been a classic.

Michael_Elliott Momia Azteca Contra el Robot Humano, La (1958) * (out of 4) I've seen the American dubbed version of this, known as The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy but this was my first viewing of the Mexican version. In this third film, The Bat somehow survives and in order to steal the priceless jewels from the mummy, he creates a human robot. This film runs 64-minutes and twenty-five of those minutes is nothing more than scenes from the previous two films. The new footage here is all pretty lifeless and dull with the exception of the robot, which has to be the poorest looking one in film history. The big fight between the robot and the mummy is dull as well. As bad as this is things got much worse with The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy.
