Santo in the Vengeance of the Mummy
Certified Crap. CrapScore 59, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Santo joins an archaeological expedition, because apparently wrestling leaves plenty of time for tomb trouble. An arrow-firing mummy makes the warning label unusually specific. There is a fair amount of jungle walking between confrontations, but the silver mask remains ready for anything.
