Watch Doctor of Doom For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Perfect cast and a good story

The acting in this movie is really good.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is a perfect entry in the 'So Bad it's almost Good' category.The movie is a Mexican film from 1963. How can I describe it. It's a story that combines a mysterious mad doctor, transplanting brains, and female wrestling. Two policemen, one rather shorter than usual, are hunting for a killer of women. The women's bodies are found minus their brains. I know it's said a woman's prerogative is to change her mind, but this guy takes it literally.After numerous failures, with average female brains, and then a highly intelligent female brain, the loco doc decides to try the brain of a strong athletic women. Big mistake, he picks Gloria Venus, champion wrestler and Liz Taylor look-a-like for his next victim. She and her partner, an Ann Margaret Look-a-like (at least in hair style) wrestler, proceed to systematically knock the snot out of the Mad Doc's henchmen. Finally the Doc decides the only way to get revenge on them is to take the brain of a gorilla he had previously placed in a large man. And relocate it into a masked caped female wrestler that can challenge Venus in the ring. Yes, just hours after the surgery the lady with the gorilla brain transplant is ready to do some body slams and back flips in the ring. Meanwhile the loco doc acts as her equally masked fight manager.During the course of the film our two detectives start a romance with the two wrestlers, the red headed Ann Margaret falls for the small policeman and has a lot of cute pet names for her little romeo.Look for the scene when the two policeman are trapped as a spiked wall starts closing in on them. The one cop uses his littler partner as a sort of wedge over his head to stop the walls from closing further while they wait to be rescued by the ladies. This little guy's spine is evidently made of titanium.Near the end it's revealed who the mysterious mad doctor really was, a surprise meant to shock the audience. Of course by about ten minutes into the film even my pet beagle had figured out his identity.Anyway I loved this film it was hilarious. The fact that my copy had the English dubbing slightly out of sync made it even better. Sometimes a female voice was coming out of a guys mouth and vice-versa.If you love bad films as much as I do this is a must see. You can even watch it for free off the web if you care to. With a little searching you can find it.

While not a film of any real significance or importance in the overall history of horror film, this is still an enjoyable treat, presenting the cinematic debut of the two lovely amazon wrestling women, Gloria Venus and Golden Rubi, who would then be re-united in the 1964 film, Wrestling Women vs Aztec Mummy.These two girls are good examples of the kind of girlfriend a guy ought to have - buxom, beautiful, tough yet feminine, and they have jobs too.The best thing about these Mexican horror films is not that they are frightening, for they aren't, but that they are fast-paced and adventurous fantasy, if silly at times, with good character humor. Always enjoyable and never too gruesome for the kids.

(aka: DOCTOR OF DOOM)Hey, I like this gordida stuff. They don't make 'em like they used to. Mad doctor kidnaps woman for his brain transplant experiments. He even keeps a creature down in his basement named Gomar who is a man with a gorilla's brain, the result of an earlier experiment.So far, his transplants of human brains into other humans have failed, so then the doctor then kidnaps the pretty sister of a famous female wrestler Golden Venus (Lorena Velazquez) and winds up killing her on the operating table. Venus finds out about what happened and vows revenge, and herself and fellow wrestler Golden Rubi (Elizabeth Campbell) go after the mad doctor.They wind up getting captured by the mad doctor and two cops who are assigned to help them, save them. Then later when the two incompetent cops are themselves captured by the doctor, then they are saved by our two brave kick-ass babes. Back & forth, back & forthThe mad doctor then creates a new masculine-looking female monster named Vendetta who disguised as a wrestler, fights Venus and Ruby in the ring. All kinds of babe flesh fly. Not bad. Not bad at all.The whole thing ends on a water tower where the mad doctor and Vendetta are trapped. They almost kill a cop and are then in turn, shot down. The bodies fall...(thump...)The Something Weird video is doubled up with WRESTLING WOMEN VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY and has tons of extras including many trailers for other Mexican horror films they have in their library. Although the b/w print shows it's age, it's far better than the old grainy VHS tape. And the print I saw had an AIP logo in the titles instead of K. Gordon Murray's. Excellent badly-dubbed cheddar cheese. It's funny. 6 out of 10

A mad doctor is running amok on the backlot of Azteca Studios. He has successfully transplanted the brain of a gorilla into the body a male human, who has developed an un-gorilla-like taste for raw meat and is sporting thick hunks of glued-on fur on his back and arms. Now the Mad Doctor seeks---for reasons naturally unexplained--to transplant a female human brain into the body of another female human. Along the way, the Mad Doc--accompanied by his evil henchmen and the ape-man--botches several transplant attempts, and earns the wrath of babe-a-licious luchadora champeen Gloria Venus (after he offs her chemist sister in a brain-swap-gone-bad) and her police detective boyfriend.So why's the Doc goin' to all this trouble? Perhaps he wants a companion for Gorilla Boy? Heck, we don't know, but it's the setup for the rest of the picture, which is one of the most humorous and high-spirited of the Mexican Wrestling genre. As with most K. Gordon Murray Mexi-horror fare, the dubbing is always awkward, and often hilarious, though the actors seem to be enjoying themselves (especially Mad Doc, who gets to chew major scenery for the last half hour), and the direction by Rene Cardona the Elder gets progressively tighter as the film progresses--this is one of the few Mexi-Horror flicks that actually gets better the longer you watch it. There are at least two "trick" endings, a wild plot twist in the last 15 minutes (an evil lady wrestler with a gorilla's brain? Nah), and a predictably ludicrous ending. The only caveat to offer is the tampering with the soundtrack, presumably by Johnny Legend. For a couple of fight scenes---maybe 10 minutes in all--the delightfully cheesy original score is dubbed out in favor of some tepid late-'80s Rockabilly Twang music. It's not too distracting, but you have to wonder the anyone even bothered in the first place. But if you're an aficionado of Mexi-Horror or Wrestling Pictures, you will want to check out this film. It was the first of the "Wrestling Women" series, and one of the most successful. Forty years later, it's easy to see why
