No, I’m not kidding. This is the actual title of this abomination of a movie, and I use the term “movie” loosely, and as humanely as possible. My only other foray into Mexican filmmaking was reviewing the atrocity known as Santa Claus (1959) early in my career at Ruthless Reviews. Absurdly awful does not even begin to describe this rancid, reeking vat of turtle excrement masquerading as a horror movie, generously rated 2.5 at IMDB.
Mercifully, The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy is only 65 minutes long, but even that does not help ameliorate Raphael Portillo’s inhumane contribution to celluloid, which is actually a sequel to an earlier film, The Aztec Mummy. The plot of this disaster is just too absurd to articulate, and the dreadful and dubbed dialogue was D.O.A. in this debacle.
For even a cheesy B movie, with a title like this you would at least expect a lot of action, but no. The closest thing to any real action was a bunch of Aztecs, dressed up like Egyptians, doing operatic singing while preparing to kill and mummify some poor sap. Here’s a big hint, the Aztecs didn’t do mummies. Oh, my. We don’t even see the laughable robot (with a totally human face) until the end of the movie, and the “battle” just lasts a few seconds. I guess this is because this supposedly “all-powerful” robot moved with all the grace and speed of a constipated turtle.
O.K., O.K., the plot.
