Exotica dance in 60s lucha libre movie

An exotica dance routine scene found while watching a cheap 60's Lucha Libre VCD brought back from Mexico by a friend of mine. (merci Mathias!)

Blue Demon Contra Los Cerebros Infernales (1968), Luchador, mad scientist and zombie pussies ... the perfect blend!

Mexi-Lucha Comics

Today’s lucha-geek-about-town tends to discover the wonderful world of Mexican masked wrestlers in one of three ways — exotic ring action on cable TV, re-issued vintage lucha-hero movies, or via the current bombardment of lucha mask iconography interpreted by the cutting edge art community. Ironically, none of these routes to enmascarado fandom reflects what was easily the most prolific body of media in the entire idiom — comic books.

Santo-a-Go-Go

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon, browsing through some collections of vintage Mexican wrestling posters while listening to bands with names like "Los Loud Jets" and "Los Yaps" and Juan "El Matematico", on a collection of 1960s Mexican rock entitled CLASSICOS DEL ROCK & ROLL MEXICANO, (including covers of "You Really Got Me" and "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone"--and best of all, "Wild Thing") courtesy of the Twilight Zone.
