Watch The Curse of the Aztec Mummy For Free

Overrated

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This sequel to "The Aztec Mummy" is much cheesier than its predecessor, it introduces a luchador and then reveals that it was a character that we knew all along, it has much more action than the first one and becomes considerably dumber, its not any better than the first one but it is a bit more watchable.It shares many flaws with the original, like the fact that its quite boring when nothing is happening, its cheap, trashy and its horror scenes are horribly executed, the mummy also lacks screen time in this one, it appears around the 49 minute mark, however, I don't think its too bad at least this one has some fun scenes.This entry also makes us watch about 10 minutes of footage from the last film, something that will go out of control in the third entry "The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy" which is almost 70% stock footage."Curse of the Aztec Mummy" its campier and a bit more fun than the last one but its not good nor is it highly entertaining.

This movie picks up where the previous film "The Aztec Mummy" left off with "Dr. Krupp" (Luis Aceves Castaneda) being interrogated by the police for his role as the criminal mastermind known as "The Bat". His latest caper was attempting to steal an Aztec breastplate and bracelet in order to locate an ancient Aztec treasure. To do this he needed the services of "Dr. Almada" (Ramon Gay) and his pretty fiancé "Flor Sepulveda" (Rosa Arenas) and he had no concern about kidnapping or murdering them if that becomes necessary. Now, although he was arrested he still desperately wants this treasure and this movie essentially begins with him getting another chance when his men rescue him during a bloody shootout on the way to prison. Attempting to help the police is a masked man known as "The Angel" whose identity is best left secret so as not to spoil the film for those who haven't seen it. Be that as it may, for a sequel to a rather average movie this film wasn't too bad all things considered. While it features the same cast and manages to keep things rolling along one specific complaint I had was that it didn't show as much of the Aztec mummy as I would have liked. Additionally, while it isn't necessary to see the first movie it certainly wouldn't hurt--if for no other reason than to have a bit more insight into what is going on. In any case, it wasn't quite as good as "The Aztec Mummy" and for that reason I have rated it one notch below it. Slightly below average.

Wow, does this sequel to THE AZTEC MUMMY get strange! While the first film was a reasonably competent recreation of the American mummy films, by this second film, any attempts to make a sane and coherent film were out the window! No longer did the film make much sense--instead becoming very similar to the worst of the American movie serials of the 1940s. Sadly, although CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY was really bad, by the third (and thankfully final) film, the plot became even more ridiculous and the villains became so silly that the film rightfully earned a place on IMDb's Bottom 100 films! Now this is NOT to say CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY isn't absolutely wretched--it's just about as bad as the third film and also should have made the list. How it received an overall score of about 3 is a puzzler--it's not nearly that good!!CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY begins where the last film left off--the true identity of the villain "the Bat" is now known and he's in police custody. Unfortunately, the cops are idiots and when the Bat's gang attacks the bus with the bat and guards inside (it's on the way to prison), so the villain is easily rescued by the gang. Now the cops COULD have stayed in the bus or used it for protection, but instead they mostly just ran outside to be shot. And, although there were about an equal number of cops and crooks were about even the fight was quickly finished--since the cops were so stupid. Now here's where it gets really silly. First, the machine guns are clearly NOT being fired (not even blanks) and the actors shake them up and down unconvincingly as poor sound effects are supposed to convince us they are really shooting. Second, after the cops are beaten, a luchador appears!!! A luchador is a Mexican professional wrestler--complete with a lucha libre mask! Unfortunately, the wrestler is not el Santo (hero of countless films) but an idiot known as "el Ángel"--and he is soon beaten up by the gang as well! Why they did not simply shoot him is beyond me. They supposedly were going to run him over instead, but when he moved aside at the last minute, no one in the Bat's car noticed that there was no bump or even a squish--and hey just drove away without killing the lousy fighter! Well, at this point, the villains are obviously pretty dumb but at least the Bat is out of prison, a bunch of cops are dead and the Angel needs to explain to his followers why he was so quickly beaten up by the baddies. So, you could say that the baddies are in the lead. However, they STILL need to steal with golden treasure from the Aztec mummy. So, like the last film, the Bat decides to once again hypnotize the lady who is the reincarnated priestess from the Pre-Columbian days in order to find out where the treasure is hidden. We are then treated to a very long and mostly unnecessary clip from the first film explaining all about this lady and the mummy. Apparently, even though the film is BARELY an hour long, the film makers thought this would be okay and no one would notice or care about the extensive use of old footage.After the woman is kidnapped, the Angel soon reappears and, guess what?! He has the crap kicked out of him again!! And, after this, the gang turns its violent impulses on the lady's fiancé and pummel him. Thank you, Angel, for all your help!! But don't worry, as the Angel is being thrown into a holding cell, he springs into action....and is once again beaten up!! And, once the door is shut, the floor begins to move--revealing a pit of dangerous snakes. Oddly, however, the snakes are totally still--either indicating they are all dead, rubber or the room is so cold that the snakes are in a state of torpor. Either way, I can't see why the Angel is particularly worried about the snakes. I assume it's just some phobia, as he clings to a swinging lamp and calls out to a little boy to rescue him. Some man of steel!! At any point, I almost expected his mommy to come to his assistance! In the end, however, you do learn more about why the luchador is such a putz....but there's yet more! Once the baddies desecrated the Aztec mummy's grave, just as it happened in the last film, the freaking thing came to life and kicked butt...or at least growled a lot. Big surprise here. You would have thought they would have had a contingency plan...like a cannon or some angry chihuahuas to fight the beast.Oddly, at this point the nice doctor (the lady's fiancé) is roped into helping the Bat because he doesn't want his snookums to die. About this same time, the Angel is once again captured and unmasked...and it turns out he fights like a wimp because he really is a wimp, I mean, Pinacate--the comic relief from the first and third films. Now, this isn't a HUGE surprise because IMDb actually lets this secret out on the main page listing, as it says the actor Crox Alvarado plays both Pinacate AND the Angel!! In the final exciting scene, the Bat is tossed into the snake pit by the mummy. This time, the snakes are actually moving about, so it appears he's truly dead. So why does he come back for the next film?! Overall, the original film idea is out the window and was replaced by a movie serial-like film for particularly stupid and undemanding people. Badly written and lousy throughout--though it is fun to watch if you want to laugh at incompetence from start to finish.

This is an inferior first sequel to THE AZTEC MUMMY (1957), eschewing much of the atmosphere and metaphysics of the original for comic-strip antics and cliffhanger situations involving a masked avenger (whose identity is even more incredible than the revelation of the villain at the end of THE AZTEC MUMMY) and a private snake pit! Despite the title, the appearance of the mummy itself is almost an afterthought – since it's relegated only to the climax. Though barely over an hour in length, the film features extensive flashback footage from its predecessor and, similar to it, the scenes involving the mummy are extremely dark – the lighting during the finale changes drastically from one shot to the other – perhaps so as to conceal the rather poor make-up job! The comedy relief isn't very pronounced this time around (as it turns out, for plot purposes) – while the villain (incidentally, the scene depicting his escape from the clutches of the police at the beginning of the film utilizes footage from a gun battle featured in the first entry in the series!) here completely forsakes his "Bat" persona on his way to becoming the mad scientist in the next instalment...
