    Santo el enmascarado de plata vs los villanos del ring
    This Santo film is loaded with well-choreographed fight scenes both in and out of the ring, and is one of the most action-packed films in the series.

    Blue Demon vs. el poder satánico
    Turning in a solid performance, Blue Demon shoulders the burden of stardom in this one- although longtime friendly rival El Santo manages to pop up here, as well. Blue proves more than a match for "the powers of Satan," and, being (as noted) a credible enough performer, keeps things interesting both in the ring and out. Of all the luchadores, it seems to me, Blue Demon was perhaps the most interesting (next to Santo himself). (imdb)

    Espectro del estrangulador
    The film opens with the recovery of the body of the Strangler (Roberto Canedo), who had died at the hands of the police, at the conclusion of the first film. The disfigured killer is taken to the city morgue for what turns out to be a brief lay-over. Reading of the killer's death in the newspaper, Tor (Gerardo Zepeda), the Strangler's assistant, heads for the morgue to recover his master's body. The Strangler, it seems, isn't actually dead...

    El barón Brakola

The girl's family calls in Santo's ancestor to prevent tragedy, but Brakola turns the girl into a vampire. The best the silver-garbed hero can o is drive a steak through her heart, releasing her spirit. (imdb)

    El mundo de los muertos
    Making very good use of a creepy score and some genuinely atmospheric cinematography, THE WORLD OF THE DEAD turns out to be one of the better Santo movies. Our hero gets the lion's share of time on screen, and is, in fact, aided and abetted by longtime friendly rival Blue Demon. Blue, it turns out, has been resurrected by a witch to help dispense her own particular brand of justice to the Santo of today, whose ancestor brought about her untimely demise. (imdb)

    El tesoro de Moctezuma
    Actually a sequel to OPERATION 67, the film again places Santo as a combination wrestler and agent for Interpol. In TREASURE, he continues his partnership with fellow agent Jorge Rubio (Jorge Rivero). (imdb)

    Operación 67
    In a radical departure from fighting werewolves, vampires, mummies and re-animated Nazis from Atlantis, Santo teams up with studly Jorge Rivera and becomes a wrasslin' James Bond on a mission to bust up an international counterfeiting ring controlled by a female MR. BIG. For the rabid Santo fan, this film has all the expected elements: arena matches, the mandatory musical number (almost all his films have one), exotic cars, babes and plenty of wrasslin' around with bad guys.

    Profanadores de tumbas
    The Santo film Profanadores de Tumbas could easily hold its own against the anarchic absurdity of classics like Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'or. It is accompanied and complimented by the jagged editing, disjointed narrative flow and weird, minimalist sets that are typical of the four micro budget features Santo did for producer Luis Enrique Vergara in the mid sixties.

    Champions of Justice
    The plot has something to do with the scientist trying to take over the world with his super powered army of little people. He's amped them up with one of his gadgets and even the smallest of them can take on one of the biggest wrestlers, which is good because his opposition is an army made up of wrestlers including Mil Mascaras and the Blue Demon.
