    Masked wrestler investigates a circus that's a cover for escaped Nazis. The lead Nazi, played by John Carradine (!), masquerades as a clown by day. Oddly, the scary guy in the mask on the picture is the GOOD guy.

    Mexiacn wrestling women battle a gorilla-man named Gomar. Rene Cardona must have thought the idea deserved revisiting when he remade this seven years later with gore and nudity as 'Night of the Bloody Apes'.

    Mexican wrestling women battle a blood- (and boobs) thirsty half-man/half-gorilla in this gory south-of-the-border quickie that's cheaper than a Tijuana hooker. A.k.a. 'Gomar: The Human Gorilla'.

    Here's something I never expected to see - a Yugo poster for a Mexican wrestling film. Trashy films are so pervasive, even the Iron Curtain couldn't stop them from entering.

    Sign of the times? 1970 - Mexican wrestlers fight werewolves, vampires, mummies, Frankenstein and a Cyclops. 2012 - Hulk Hogan fights bad PR over sex tape.
