Defined in the glossary: Luchador
Martians in togas demand Earth's surrender. Santo declines.
Martians in togas land on Earth and demand its surrender, and only El Santo, in his silver mask, stands in their way, between wrestling matches. The aliens have ray guns and a spaceship, Santo has piledrivers and unshakeable moral authority, and the film treats the collision with total sincerity.
It is cheap, absurd and endearing, the wrestling-hero formula stretched to include a full-blown alien invasion. The sight of Santo grappling caped Martians is exactly as ridiculous and delightful as it sounds.
Pure lucha-libre pulp, committed to its own nonsense.

The Brainiac
Not a Santo film. A forked-tongue demon eating brains with a spoon.
Santo vs. the Vampire Women
The best-shot Santo film. He wrestles twice for no reason at all.
Santo and Blue Demon vs. the Monsters
Every monster at once, all of them on a budget of nothing. Delightful.
Night of the Bloody Apes
Mexican horror at the gore end: a gorilla-heart transplant, real surgery footage, and a masked lady wrestler.
