I've been wanting to see that one for ages, though was slightly disappointed to find out in a review that there isn't more than one ape. Sounds like fun nonetheless. Santo movies are pretty goofy until you look at how seriously luchadors are taken by Mexican culture. Santo films can be looked at as large Batman crossovers, starring real people elevated to tall tale proportions. The effects are usually quite bad, and the plots are pretty laughable, but sometimes they do a decent job emulating the Hammer movies the later ones want to imitate. I was surprised by all the gore, actually. Santo are hillarious cult, but there are some serious things at their core to be taken in.
