TIL that Mexico was making 1950s B movies in the 1960s #monsterdon

Yes, please say exactly what you are doing for the second time

#monsterdon Phrasing!

"now watch as i dominate this girl's will" is an incredible localization near-miss, that is just in the uncanny valley of "things that are syntactically and semantically valid but not things that would ever be said exactly like that" #monsterdon

Wow, a crime boss AND a scientist! Truly these Asians are a formidable people.

#monsterdon

Stand by for mind control! #monsterdon

hypnosis and drugs

#monsterdon

"Now watch while I dominate this girl's will"

For only $49.99 on pay per view! #Monsterdon

"Now watch as I dominate this girl's will"

"She's going to have to do all my AP Chemistry lab work for me!"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Safety deposit box number one hundred! I'm sure that will become numerologically relevant in short order.

(Also, when that guy took out that brick, unwrapped the codex paper, and snapped out that box cutter, I definitely tried and failed to come up with a rock/paper/scissors joke. Ah well.)

that is an ENORMOUS hat box

#monsterdon

Is this a monster mystery or a postal delivery thriller?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤼‍♀️ 🪶 🐲 🤕 😱

Oh, definitely use the codex by the candle. That's definitely the right way to codex use!

*sends a letter with evil intent*

#monsterdon

I feel like things are moving so fast in this movie if I look down to type I miss some weird intricate action with no dialogue.

Also good use of brass section

#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy

Alright, it was just a plot point to split them up for an hour so the main character could get kidnapped #monsterdon

I've seen a few old Charlie Chan movies. The asian make up can't be that bad in this movie. Can it?
#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomen #AztecMummy

#WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy #Monsterdon poor bro got darted

That is not how you are supposed to pick up chicks my dude :blobfoxsipterrified:

#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy

#Monsterdon all i know about what's going on is "something something aztec codex something something asian gang something something tall girls :blobcat_googly_blushy: "

#monsterdon So let me get this straight, the plan is to separate the codex into multiple parts, and get those parts to our protagonists via means that will prevent them from knowing when or how they'll receive their pieces... and also everyone is going to stick together with each other in the same place until the whole situation is resolved..?

I am sure this plan somehow achieves the goal of separating those codex pieces, but I don't yet see how

I love me some good lurking music. #monsterdon

Sure leave the little blond girl at the mercy of the oily haired gang - nice work dad or whoever

#monsterdon

We'll each carry one piece so that the bad guys have a larger area to search!

And for safety, well all live in the same house.

Real thinkers here.

#Monsterdon

After murdering like five people, surely the Black Dragon will be stymied by adding two new ones into the club

#Monsterdon

we're only fifteen minutes in and I couldn't tell you everything that's going on if I had to

#monsterdon

@jonny I described the title of this film to my wife, and she said, “So, softcore porn?”

And I said, “No, this was made in the 50s.”

Then, she said, “So, bikini-clad, super-softcore porn.”

Now, a few minutes in, it’s clear that it’s the longjohns softcore porn variety. 😉

#Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

We should all live here to protect each other, and because there's no Hayes Code in Mexico #monsterdon

Wait, so they are dividing up the codex so the Black Dragon gets overstretched... but then all live together to undo that? What am I missing?? #monsterdon

how nice of these ladies to recap the conversation they just had. #monsterdon

It's now an anti-black dragon polycule!

#monsterdon
#WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

Aaaaaand MUMMY

...aw c'mon. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon You'll each get a piece of the codex but we'll all stay in the same place! 6_6

#Monsterdon "I shan't rest until..."

me and my wife simultaneously: '"shan't rest"?'

"I propose as long as it's dangerous, we should all live here together"

And whatever happens, happens, if you know what I mean. Just kidding, haha unless

#Monsterdon

ack, damn my internet, what a bad time to cut out. (T_T) #monsterdon

Is someone keeping a spreadsheet to summarize everything that is going on?

#monsterdon

The good guys have slightly less oily hair
#monsterdon

Naturally we intended to give the codecs to the authorities, but MP3 is still patent encumbered, so ....

#monsterdon

The Aztec Codecs, which is what all videos were encoded with back in the olden days.

#Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

Professor Van Dyne is famous for making people smaller, but that’s another movie #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm liking how tall these lady wrestlers are. ❤️
#TheWomenWrestlersVsTheAztecMummy

now if you'll excuse me I have orb pondering to do

#monsterdon

"It's Doctor Tracy."

sign: Dr. Luis Trelles

ooooookay then

#monsterdon

I'm sure he is playing an Asian to emphasize his eccetricity

#monsterdon

Poisoned blow dart so 60’s that’s some Jonny Quest villainy right there #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ... But. He didn't need to die?!

#Monsterdon the bad guy's name is mao....and the costumes holy shit...

Oh, since the dragon and his gang need the three sections, that makes complete sense, but on the other hand we can...what?

#Monsterdon

we couldn't find a single Asian actor huh?

#monsterdon

You see, dear audience member, there's no Mexican Mafia. It's all the Chinese setting up shop in our country!

:eyethink:

#monsterdon

So I didn't expect a gangster movie.

#monsterdon
#WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy

#Monsterdon all of this is just an elaborate Russian goodbye. Out the window. Hey! Blow dart! Okay. Temporary Respect Hit Points.

i can tell this isn’t going to pass bechdel (they never do lol) #monsterdon

next time don't infodump near a window, dude, universal rule of movies. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no, a spitball! So...gross.....dying

voice acting on the dub is chef's kiss

#monsterdon

that took some lung breath to propel that dart #monsterdon

I hope this wrestling sequence never ends #monsterdon

This is so Mexican, I love it!

#monsterdon

Excellent dubbing, the anxious guy sounds like Don Knotts

#Monsterdon

Tall girls.... :blobmeltsoblove: :100_gay:

#monsterdon

Some exposition, but meanwhile, at the window...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i'm flashing back to the futurama episode with the butterfly derby

Oh my god, Kilroy is a creeper!! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon starts with a "secret" wrestling match with hundreds in the audience

You know you're in for a ride when a B movie includes an 'act' of any sort. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤼‍♀️ 🪶 🐲 🤕 😱

Dr. Sorba is creepy why was he hiding like that? I'm already confused.

Being a creeper in the lady wrestler changing room is pretty damn bold.

#monsterdon

TIMESTAMP TO GO BACK AND CLIP THE GUY BEHIND THE PILLAR #monsterdon

#monsterdon hell yeah, the wresting women I was promised

wrasssled like bobcats

#monsterdon

I thought wrestling you pin someone not make their arms flap like a bird but I'm not sure honestly
#monsterdon

what kind of pin is holding someone's arms out to the side like that is that regulation #monsterdon

YOU WILL FLY!

#Monsterdon

I feel like the Uterus Kick is probably not a legal move to make. #Monsterdon

dammit, outgoing posts from mstdn.ca are delayed again. will toot from here instead

#monsterdon

These ladies are actually pretty good #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon That wrestling ring has an unmistakable odor.

look the movie is literally titled "wrestling women vs the aztec mummy" so you better believe we are going to get 25% of the runtime being literal wrestling women. this rocks #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🛕 TRIVIA MUMMY 🛕

👂The dubbing priority was that the words must fit with the mouth movements of the actors.

This leads to some, let's say, "unusual" phrasing. Listen for it!

Cero miedo! *clap clap clapclapclap* #monsterdon

enough of that exciting fight, let's see how the one lady NOT in the fight is reacting. #monsterdon

I love how half of these moves are Kirk chops #monsterdon

Women? FIGHTING? And these cops aren't breaking it up?

DEFUND THE POLICE.

#monsterdon

That's right, just stand there while I put my hands around your neck and throw you. Thanks! #Monsterdon

The observing woman is very worried about the outcome of the match, but why.

#monsterdon

I love how these wrestling scenes have little to do with the plot, I have a feeling this is a recurring theme

#monsterdon

How many points will duolingo give me for this movie #monsterdon

#Monsterdon real live wrastlin' 👀

love all these people watching this fight like it is So Serious. (^_^) #monsterdon

ok, that stout lady is what i'm talkin about! She looks like could take you.

#monsterdon

There's sort of a lack of emotion on the part of the guy reading the headlines. Which I guess is all of us in the real world now.
#monsterdon

she's a very supportive girlfriend

#monsterdon #WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

Ah, yes, Qing dynasty refuguees have founded a gang in Mexico?

#monsterdon

And we've got our first wrestling ladies working away in the ring.

#Monsterdon

Wrestling women, that is what I was waiting for
#monsterdon

lol, "no ticket from me, only punch"

#monsterdon

Cars with forward opening doors were popular with US mob due to their ability to dump bodies out of moving cars quickly. This Black Dragon gang are total amateurs.
