Santo and the Vengeance of the Mummy - The Cinema Snob

[@jiujitsu77]

it was an honor to meet El Hijo de Santo at an Indy video store conference about twelve years ago. One of the greatest moments of my life

[@umachan9286]

Yes! An El Santo movie! This guy was legandary in Mexico. Nobody ever saw his face. When traveling he would take a different plane than anybody else and stay at a different hotel. He even had a special mask created when he was out as El Santo and had to eat.

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

In truth without that masked man USA pro wrestling fans wouldn't have loved the 90's WCW and Rey Mysterio/ Eddie Guerrero now

[@CanItAlready]

I had just taken a bite of chocolate cake when CS said, "And how dare you interrupt Santo's beautador sleep" and nearly killed me. LOL

[@thesexybatman263]

El Santo's popularity got him invited to so many parties, dinners and interviews, that he actually commisioned custom masks with a bigger mouth hole, so he could talk and eat more comfortably at said events.

[@criticona10]

El Santo rocks! He's from my hometown Tulancingo, in the state of Hidalgo ❤ He's a wrestling legend along with Blue Demon, and despite the silliness of his movies, which actually happen to be enjoyable and funny, he's quite an icon.

[@Kolbjornelenano]

Fun fact: That's not El Santo's real voice, he was dubbed in all his movies because the film makers said that his voice was not "heroic enought"

[@antcow1239]

fun fact: El Santo never shown his face in his whole career, he only did just before he died.

[@Rando1975]

ant cow123 Yeah, I guess it was only a week or two after he made an appearance on a talk show. And he was actually buried with his mask on.

[@cruz8165]

ant cow123 fun fact: El Santo, like most luchadores was dubbed in his own movies because his voice was not very movie-ish (if that word extists)

[@TheDarkVampire666]

ant cow123 From what is said not even other wrestlers knew what he looked like as he arrived and left in the mask

[@BulletTooth504]

+Cruz "Movie-ish" is a now a word, thanks to you.

[@alastair852]

He had a second mask with a larger mouth opening for when he went out to eat.

[@Hartior]

Ok, i'm spanish, so i understand what they're saying. I tried my best to make a translation into english. Things clear, it's not good (my english is not very good), but i hope it's understandable 3:24 "Of the italian couple, Troy Casanova and the rebel harshly hitting El Santo's stomach" 3:33 "Now, for the third fall, (i think it's a name) and Casanova hitting the rookie, the rebel and ¡what way to hashly hitting his Ribs!" 4:31 "Because i don't want to hide you all that we usually cross with uncountable perils especially if we found the fabulous treasure of prince Nono" 5:11 "As you know this is the last point of civilization, from now on the devilish jungle with it's swamps and thousands of dang (Santo interrups but i don't hear what's he's saying)" 12:37 "I'm more accostummed, with a horse, in a couple of days i will be in civilization" "It's OK, i'll accompany you to (i don't hear well), you take care that it doesn't lack water and make a control of the kids" 13:47 "You shouldn't talk like that" "(Name?) the food's ready" After the cut "Come on, professor" 16:24 "El Santo, the hero of the crowds against El Bufalo, a man of 122 Kg that he defeated El Santo mask vs mask" 17:35 "Ha ha, so, grabbing the meat ¿uh? (something about tomorrow's food, but i don't understand well)"

[@moonmochi6131]

Dear God, I never thought I would ever see an official Santo movie with the Cinema Snob, my fav reviewer. I thought Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters was as good as it would ever get, thank you for this treat~ . As a Mexican Fan I'm so, so happy I wanna cry xD BTW Best subs 120/10. This was great, funny and just made my day overall. JESUS BRO, JESUS!

[@NodDisciple1]

Did Cinema Snob ever review the Movie "Santa Claus" from Mexico?

[@moonmochi6131]

As far as I remember, nope, but I hope he will xD That would be great! Just looking at him talk about the logic behind Santa Claus, Merlin, Baby Jesus and elfs fighting the devil sounds perfect~

[@NodDisciple1]

Yeah, I loved both the MST3k/Rifftrax versions of the film and James Rolfe's Review of it. The thing that never gets explained in these is that this was an attempt to convert the Latin American 3 Wise Men Tradition into a European/American Santa Claus Story to get a larger audience (the kids being tempted by devils, etc...). I hope Brad hears about this and adds this to the review if he does it.

[@Muryohken]

I'm Mexican, loved that movie as a youngster despite is silliness.

[@Doogie769]

I do love these kind of films.Rob Zombie did do something right by introducing me to a cartoon about Luchadore that goes on adventure and do occasionally solve things by wrestling it.I loved it!

[@Lukethefox]

What did they say at 12:43 that the Snob said "I agree" to?

[@jamesesw]

+Lukethefox The first guy says he's going to take one of the horses and he'll reach the nearest town in two days. Then El Santo agrees and tells another guy to keep an eye on the water and food rations. Not the most thrilling dialogue.

[@Doogie769]

+James McDohl hahaha If I watched a movie with this problem with you.You would swear never to watched movies with me again because I would be asking you what did they say everytime.Even when they say Doctour than I ask you and you would be annoyed He said doctor LOL

[@jamesesw]

+Johnny Jaruwan Haha. Let's just agree on watching movies where the subtitles are ACTUALLY INSIDE THE MOVIE.

[@madstan3750]

Thanks to your 'Will It Fit?' series, I can never look at turducken the same way again.

[@foxmouse]

Ha, no matter how goofy the Santo movies are I always have a really big respect for Santo and the crews that worked with him. They were very ambitious and I can appreciate ambition. xD On a similar note, Brad is there any chance we could get a playlist featuring only your Italian horror movie reviews, please?

[@mindlessgonzo]

3:33 How come I'm ok with having a heart attack at this?

[@6645241]

Santo FTW! This is like opening a fucking Christmas gift and discover inside something I actually want. Thank you Brad you are the best.

[@Beany2007FTW]

"This causes the chef to throw a tantrum, and he wakes up El Santo while he was Maskerbating" That was far funnier than it had any right to be. Damnit Brad!

[@joeyjojoshabadoo2508]

It was about time the snob reviewed a real Santo movie

[@gaillewis5472]

Did you really say, "Guiller-Mo Howard?" Brilliant.

[@U014B]

And here I thought it was a Ron Howard reference.

[@KraigFang]

Yay! Another great vid from a great channel. Thank you!

[@ColonelMcboot]

A big budget El Santo movie would be incredible

[@sfighter0085]

Good episode. I remember first hearing about this "El Santo" when I found out about "3 Dev Adam" with Turkish Captain America. Funny how it turned out the supposed "Cursed Mummy" was really a dude in a mask, talk abut pulling the "Scooby-Doo" ending on a movie featuring Superhero Luchador. "Rice Roing Raggy." Something tells me "Until Spetember" will probably stay in the polls until it eventually wins, just like "Windy City".

[@brianfuller757]

Santo was 54 when he did this movie and ( as always) did his own stunts. This is one of the better Santo movies.

[@dunes8817]

Apparently, there isn't a movie called Santo Clause.

[@rodrigosalas5728]

Dunes8 Me pondré a trabajar en eso inmediatamente.

[@NodDisciple1]

Nope, just Santa Claus. Where Santa Claus fights a devil in Mexico!

[@Tareltonlives]

Nah, that's a different Rene Cardona movie

[@artistwithouttalent]

Shit, did this JUST drop? 3:32 WTF?

[@llebecna1]

Why yes. This did just drop. Also ... rule number one, dude.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Lance Bell That had more to do with the fact that I had just noticed it in my feed, clicked on it, and found only one comment. And I didn't say anything about that!

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

artistwithouttalent Well... Shaun Millington did title card art for Ashen's Channel, so I guess that it's only fitting that Snob does a Mentski flash...

[@Crrrow]

It's creepy walt!

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

3:32 Posting that time stamp is just proof the EL SANTO IS NOT AMERICAN ENOUGH #virtuesignaling #truesegragation

[@nicobambino191]

Have you tried learning some Spanish or Italian? That'll be fun to explain to the teacher: Teacher: Alright class, let's introduce ourselves and explain why we each want to learn or wanted to learn Spanish. I studied Spanish to better communicate with my family. Some kid: I'm forced to take a language requirement as a pre-req and need help. Other kid: I want to better communicate with the ladies. And you Brad? I want to learn Spanish to understand shitty movies.

[@martincann5052]

After this, you'll never complain about a Dwayne Johnson movie ever again...

[@MrCjosue24]

My dad to this day still likes the movies of El Santo. He saw quite a few of them as a kid.

[@JAFOpty]

that was some M Night shyamalan ending there....

[@nessarolla]

El Santo movies are the fucking shit! I used to watch these with my dad all the time!♡

[@enasniec-neicsnoc9591]

There is little more satisfying than watching a grown man slap two grown men across the face while yelling in Spanish. Pure art.

[@rpcvliz]

I'll have to find this movie for my dad. It stars one of his favorite actors, the legendary Eric del Castillo (the one you called Glenn Ford)

[@SunnysFilms]

Also, it's hard to be sure because the subs are cut off, but it appears that Mexico decided to do their own version of Karloff's The Mummy with an Aztec mummy and El Santo - and I 100% approve.

[@Launchpad05]

Not even Strong Bad can get that kind of notoriety.

[@LchanOtakudom]

El Santo was the basis of El Ray from the cartoon Mucha Lucha!

[@phycofox858]

el santo is a hero of my people

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I often wonder if movies like this actually make more sense in their native language and without subtitles, to people who understand the league and know the culture. Probably not.

[@eduardogomez4275]

Trust me, at least with this movie, even in Spanish, it doesn't make sense. It's still entertaining though.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

@@eduardogomez4275 I trust you and I know what you mean. There are a lot of English language movies like that. :)

[@TheRealNormanBates]

7:18 WHAT?! No one ever told me APOCALYPTO was a remake! 13:00 of COURSE he can teleport! It's the MASK! He must get his masks from the same store as Jason.

[@SuperSayinAtheist]

Has he reviewed Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter which happens to have El Santo in it for some reason.

[@MeatGuyJ]

El Santo's sort of like Mexico's Hulk Hogan or Japan's Antonio Inoki.

[@LION0410]

MahjongNucleus Man i think he is Even Biguer than Hogan or Inoki.

[@D4rKSUN1]

bigger... and way older

[@culwin]

John Cena

[@alastair852]

Umm, aren't you forgetting Konnan? Seriously though, El Santo is bigger than Hulk Hogan, I'd say that he's arguably the biggest wrestler in the history of the business.

[@alastair852]

True. I don't know what that has to do with El Santo or wrestling, but it is a factual statement.

[@LuisLopez-zh9kh]

There's a hell of a lot more Luchador exploitation films from the 60s/70s. Top grade Cinema Snob material.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

The panther fighting just made me think of the "Relax" video. :)

[@Rebochan]

Oh god, I can't believe I recognized the director's credit... Rene Cardona was the director of the crazy Mexican Santa Claus film that was ALSO on MST3K. Apparently he directed a *lot* of movies in the golden age of Mexican cinema.

[@Tareltonlives]

And his sons continued to make cheap, crappy Mexican films-Bermuda Triangle and Zindy the Swamp Boy were Renee Cardona Jr movies with Renee Cardona III as the kids

[@PaceBreaker]

I could swear I've watched this before...that or at least one of the Santo movies.

[@SunnysFilms]

Cinema Snob: I don't remember reviewing this movie. KZbin: *puts it in "so no one can forget* Actually, I'm glad they did because I didn't know you reviewed it and that "young Guillermo Howard" joke gave a big laugh.

¡A-haha! conque agarrando la carne, ¿verdad?

[@chadcastagana9181]

15:00 Is 'Luchador' Spanish for 'Fighter'?

[@jamesesw]

Chad, in the literal sense of the word, yes. While the English-speaking Wrestling community refers to the classic Mexican masked wrestlers like Santo, Blue Demon, or Mil Mascaras as a 'luchador', the word simply means 'fighter'.

[@Tareltonlives]

It's Mexican Mitch Buchanon! He takes his meat seriously!

Hope we get a Snob episode on Ready to Rumble someday.

Never watch El Santo Movies, but I did remember in 1995 a horror movie call The Empire Of Dracula when I was little boy. Which that one is a little bit my nostalgia. First time watching it late at night but didn't see the whole movie and pass out, feeling sleepy. I remember is about stopping the vampire and the chick becoming a vampire after Dracula turn her into a vampire by going to her home and my favorite is the chick sleeping in her bed, and her pajamas is beautiful. Thinking when I get married and if the wife were a pretty or beautiful pajama in my sight by sleeping with her. Also bikini or bikini wear, and vest is great and good for me in my future.
