Taken aback by how non-chalntly that gun's being waved around.
is there gonna be a damn mummy or not?
Is she still under his power? Did they forget to arrest the sisters? Where is the Mummy?
Question I have right now
#monsterdon
"If you try anything., I'll try this whistle here!"
Is it magic? Does it summon a dragon?
...ahhhh yeah, the codex. That's why all this is happening.
Does the mummy make a guest appearance? Is it a "fashionably late" scenario?
Where's the stereotypical abrupt #Monsterdon ending when you really want it?
@ryan You know how much film costs!!!
#monsterdon
if thereβs one thing Iβve learned from watching a lot of #monsterdon B movies itβs that if they filmed it by god theyβre going to use it
Wait, did the fake Chinese guy dress in White Man clothes to blend in with the crowd?
The Wrestling....continues....
#monsterdon The mummy is reconsidering its afterlife choices
You're watching Wrestling Women Wrestling the Women Wrestling the Wrestling Women.
At least I'm secure in the knowledge that wrestling has always been extremely boring, despite what large chunks of the 80s and 00s might say
okay I feel like that's a good amount of wrestling now
So, with the house cut, and pretty good PPV rates I think we should clear...oh, wait, that's right, this is about a codex
#monsterdon
let's just have 10 minutes of solid wrestling why not, who cares about the plot?
#monsterdon the fake punches are too good
sneaky karate chop there
@Lazarou
It was a simpler time
Where is the goddamn AZTEC MUMMY I was promised? #Monsterdon
If a non-union Mexican Macho Man knockoff would show up #monsterdon
I hope the mummy runs in and starts wrestling soon
#monsterdon
Kudos to Antonio DΓaz Conde for this film score!
The many trick we use - applying pressure holds
you know they're serious because they brought their capes
Where is my mummy? #monsterdon
I thought judo was japanese tho
disrupting real world conflicts by bursting into the room and saying "HOLD IT, OR I'LL BURN THE CODEX"
#Monsterdon sheβs not wearing a wire. Sheβs wearing an FCC piracy station violation! Wired into her brassiere. At least 50,000 watts of raw transmitting power!
las mejores luchadoras de yudo de oriente necesitan un cΓ³dice azteca para ganarle a las luchadoras en 3 minutosβ¦
oh.
oquei.
#Monsterdon Charlotte, awaken! Youβll be encountering a heartwarming pig named Wilbur. Let him root around in your truffle patch.
Y'know, normally when you get flowers delivered in the middle of an assassination attempt, it's perfectly unsuspicious and is definitely not anything interesting hidden in them
I wonder what the mummy is up to tho
man does anyone have any clue what is going on #monsterdon
such insanely elaborate plans, I bet his minions roll their eyes at it all...
Okay, also the Secret Aztec Codex is split into three parts and hidden in a hotel, which is where you normally hide codexes, and both Team Good and Team Evil are sending agents (Wrestling Women and Goons, respectively) to recover it.
Since Mesoamerican books were kind of folded up like American road maps, I'm guessing this codex just came apart because people forgot which way to fold it back up again until it broke into fragments.
I never call anyone "meddling fools"
I'm going to start.
#Monsterdon
Good thing somebody studied needle-deflection wrestling techniques
#Monsterdon opens letter⦠I see Samsung has accepted my LED design. Muhahahaha!
Also, the foley artist was not so much an artist as the director's idiot nephew. He really liked that he could make horse noises with all the neat stuff on the table.
#monsterdon The sound effects during this brawl are hilarious. Is that galloping? Are they wearing tap shoes?
WTF! Tall wrestling woman should totally be able to take out 2 guys in a room by herself!
Okay maybe not 5 sure, but she should have taken more out before they got her.
#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomen #AztecMummy
I think there are as many as three distinct punch sound effects.
Loving the foley in the fight scene. Sounds like popcorn.
Are they using the monty python coconuts for a fistfight?
Who is the short joker guy? He looks a lot like Maury Amsterdam
lol, love that she uses her sketchy boyfriend as a lure
Alright, so um... the plot escalates and a guy with different evil facial hair just walks into an apartment, kidnaps a Definitely Not Wrestling woman and walking out, leaving an ominous note. I have to appreciate the rapidness of this scene... the dude kidnaps the lady like I'd kidnap a pint of ice cream from the refrigerator.
Two Probably Wrestling women and the one good dude stumble in on the scene of the crime and discuss its brazen evilness.
lol @ hotel concierge looking as dodgy as fuck.....oh look, he IS a baddie!
what's a telephone book?
a la Chela la van convertir en Zapatista
I wonder if this comedic relief character worked better in Spanish. #Monsterdon
"God bless you, big woman!"
#Monsterdon sheβll do everything I order. Get me a cup of coffee.
After the conference of evil we get a conference of good, where a dude is explaining the plot of the movie to three women, two or more of which are Wrestling Women. Anyway, the Black Dragon wants to capture this guy who knows where the secret Aztec codex is and team not evil wants to stop him.
The plot was more complicated than that but I didn't summarize it right because I was shit posting.
But will the novelty size sombrero summon a killer octopus?
I'm sorry, if someone sent me a massive hat I'd be happy man
#monsterdon
lol, @ oversized Mexican hat appearance
After this we get an evil conference where the Black Dragon, who is dressed kind of like a chef if chefs wore silk pajamas that were shaped like chef clothes. Also, he has a fu manchu mustache to show that he is evil and an orientalizing stereotype that the ghost of Edward Said is probably frowning at, even though Edward Said was Palestinian and not Chinese, he'd probably not like that.
So after we get tired from our wrestling fight, the wrestling women get a Quest from a Quest Guy. I guess the Black Dragon guy is trying to steal an ancient something or other... I think it's an Aztec codex, and he's been killing people to um... get it somehow. Anyway, then a spy for the black dragon kills the Quest Guy I think with wizardry, which is Shocking!
@foolishowl I would like a movie version of Grim Fandango
The evil genius is kind explaining the process of how social media radicalizes people
No need for orbs or injections
I'm not sure about the guy voicing the Chinese/Mexican villain. Sounds more like a California-based comic-book enthusiast.
Okay I know we're all gonna make fun of The Dramatic Envelope but you can't tell me you don't react to important mail like there's a full brass band sting every time you open the mailbox. #Monsterdon
@Taweret The score is having strong feelings about that envelope.
Okay, so the Juggalo archaeologist is killed by this Fu Manchu lookalike, who I guess is the evil "Black Dragon" and is some kind of problematic supervillain. His job is to cackle and kill people with sorcery I guess.
Anyway, we are then given like 5 minutes of women wrestling. Despite my expectations, these were not muscly luchadoras in cool scary masks but more like generically attractive 1960s women actors.

I love when a character in an old movie lights a candle and the lighting guy has to bring up a spotlight at exactly the same moment, it never looks right and it's charming
If that candle sheds that much light, maybe we don't need LEDs, we can just light every set in Hollywood with a handful of candles

I like how involved the lady characters are in the plot, refreshing.
Are we with a chance of a Bechdel?
"Go to their deaths" sounds entirely too much like "go to their desks"
#Monsterdon mayo! On a sandwich! Spread thin. Letβs not blow out the calorie estimate.

Dr Sorbet was forked and frozen?! #Monsterdon
whoa whoa whoa infodump guy, slow down
lo jodido de esta pelea es que la cholobbit le llega apenas a las rodillas de la gringa gΓΌera contrincante. y claro, con la ΓΌberchola que es su cuate, les ganaron feo en la batalla. ni apenas sudaron.
I expected a mummy not some black dragon TBH
#monsterdon
Gosh honey they were really rough on us!
You and I almost didn't make it!
And we've passed the Bechdel Test.
If we can get an Aztec mummy into the ring now, this whole thing could wrap up in about five minutes.
"I was saying 'BOOO-URNS'"
ah yes if you chop someone lightly on the shoulder they will collapse unconscious. it is known
las tiritas de sangre en la cara como si tuvieran una escasez de koolaid
What is that Chinese character doing to that man, I thought it was Aztecs we were dealing with?
and we have some racism
Filmed on-site at a real aztec temple! (maybe)
Funny that doesn't look like Florida
dripping letters in the title card, always a good sign
ah, young america, when the forests were still verdant, and the democracy still functioned. #monsterdon
That pyramid is Mayan, isn't it?
#monsterdon Here we go!!
And away we go! #Monsterdon
@floatybirb Wrestling Women versus the Undead Aztec Librarian?
#monsterdon
@jonny Heavy "Friends" vibe, in their shared apartment base camp, so no one told me life was gonna be like this, or whatever the lyrics are, clap clap clap clap clap clap clap #Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy
@floatybirb I thought it would just be that $250 Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe back from the dawn of the interwebs
@Infoseepage ....majestic....
Was watching cartoons this morning and saw someone familiar.
