The evil Dr. Krupp, once again trying to get possession of the Aztec princess Xochitl's jewels, hypnotizes her current reincarnation, Flor, to get her to reveal the jewels' location - Xochitl's tomb. Confusion reigns as Krupp and his thugs are opposed by Flor's lover, Dr. Almada, his assistant, and wrestling superhero, El Angel. Krupp finally meets his match, however, when he comes up against Popoca, the warrior mummy who guards Xochitl's tomb.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I love this kind of movie that weren't available in Brazil but l found an original box from USA with subtitles em English to my Trash's Collection. This is a second movie this fabulous trilogy about Aztec Mummy pursued by Dr. Krupp as Bat (Murciélago) who wants Aztec Treasure,among the characters has Angel an masquerade hero like Santo that help Dr. Almada and your beauty fiancée Flor....the plot is predicable but the movie is really funny and enjoyable too for trash's lovers only!!

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.

Released in the U.S. as CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY in 1957, this movie seems to be made cheap and in a hurry. Hurry for it to be over is not a good compliment for a movie that only runs 65 minutes. When horror is done badly it becomes comedy. The evil Dr. Krupp(Luis A. Castaneda) also known as the desperate criminal The Bat continues his search for the breast plate and bracelet of an Ancient Aztec mummy. Dr. Almada (Ramon Gay) must protect his fiance Flor(Rosa Arenas)for she is a reincarnate of an ancient handmaiden that knows the location of the coveted treasure. Flor is kidnapped by the Bat's gang of hoodlums and coming to the rescue is a hooded, capped and haphazard fighter of crime The Angel(Crox Alvardo), who gets more ass whippings than a red headed step-child. So much for a hero. So much for horror that turns into laughable mystery. Stick to ice cold Mexican beer, a bowl of salsa and a dozen beef taquitos!

In 1957 3 Aztec Mummy movies were filmed almost back to back to back.They were The Aztec Mummy, Curse Of The Aztec Mummy and Robot Vs The Aztec Mummy.The 1st one was bought by Jerry Warren and butchered horribly for US release as Attack Of The Mayan Mummy.K Gordon Murray bought the last two for US release.A few minutes of The Aztec Mummy shows up in Curse Of The Aztec Mummy.Dr Krupp aka The Bat has been arrested.Dr Almada,Flor and his assistant Pincate feel safe.However a masked crimefighter in droopy drawers and a cape calling himself The Angel shows up to warn Dr Alamada that nobody is safe from The Bat.Sure enough when The Bat is being transported to prison his gang attacks.The Angel shows up and promptly gets his arse kicked.The Bat escapes.Dr Krupp plots to steal the Aztec breastplate & bracelet from the tomb of Popoca.He gives us a lengthy flashback from The Aztec Mummy.Flor (Dr Almada's fiance) was hypnotized to reveal a past life.She was a hand maiden to one of the Aztec Gods.But she & Popoca did the wild thing and they were sentenced to death.So Krupp kidnaps Flora and the doctor.The Angel shows up and once again gets his arse kicked.He and the doctor are prisoners as Krupp, his men and Flora search for the Aztec loot.They find Popoca and his is awfully sore at being roused.The gang escapes with the booty.When they get back to the Bat's hideout yet another fight ensues.Guess what?The Angel gets his arse kicked again.He is unmasked to reveal his true identity ending his crimefighting days.Good thing too unless he liked getting beaten up every twenty minutes.Krupp forces Almada to translate the symbols on the breastplate that leads to the treasure.But Popoca shows up ready to kill everybody in sight.This is good for a laugh as it tries to inject a Santo like crimefighter into the Mummy sub genre.The Mummy isn't on screen much at all which is a sore point with me.However it is a bit of brainless fun.
