rvam reputation precede it . i first heard of it in one of those medved style movie book and the 50 bad movie ever or the golden turkey award and or something like that . every review of the film basically say that this movie be so bad that it would make you bleed from the eye to watch it . so when the expose film society finally get around to show it and i be anticipate the kind of cathartic experience that only a true cinematic stinker can provide . however and robot wasn not really all that bad . oh and this be definitely a z film through and through . some of the voice dub ( a be usually the case for k. gordon murray import ) be awfully cheesy and and the movie itself seem to be structurally something of a frankenstein and since a huge chunk of it seem to be footage from a previous aztec mummy movie and narrate with a voice over by the lead man . a dead giveaway represent anytime the question then what happen . be ask more than twice in the dialog and you be look at reassemble footage put together with little regard for plot coherence or momentum . in rvam and then what happen . or what happen then . be uttered at least four time in the 1st hour . even without the structural problem and the plot and dialog do not translate well to an old american audience . for instance and a the hero explain ( and explain and explain ) the back story . he include a remark about doctor krupp and a doctor who suddenly turn into an evil master criminal and begin his quest for the treasure that the aztec mummy guard . no background and no explanation and he just suddenly turn evil . obviously and this be aim at a pretty undiscriminating audience . the clincher and though and be the robot and the supposed showcase of this movie . this robot be the bad robot special effect since undersea kingdom or even santa claus vs. the martian . compare to this hunk of junk and the tin man from the wizard of oz look like the terminator chassis that chase linda connor through the foundry in t2 . the aztec mummy himself be well design and execute while he recognizably undead and familiar enough to look like a mummy and and yet distinct from the boris karloff bandage collection familiar to most american audience . but whoever design the robot in this followup have no feel for the concept . or no budget . they could at least have give him some knee and for heaven sake . in addition and the titular battle be terribly execute and last less than 60 second . ( i have see shove match on junior high playground that be more convincing . ) then the movie basically just stop . that seem a bit of a rip off consider the amount of time the movie spend build up to the battle itself . in spite of all these problem and the movie isn not horrible or incompetent the way a coleman francis film or a larry buchanan film be . compare to monster a go go or attack of the eye creature and rvtam be like a coppola film . it just kind of dull and boring and silly . the actor be competent ( in a mannered b movie way ) and reasonably photogenic while dr. krupp and in particular seem to be have a wonderful time a he leer and plot and caper about in his cape and phantom of the opera suit . i often find myself root for him and in spite of his be the villain . anyway and i have see much and much bad . file this with samson vs the vampire woman and under interesting mexican juvenile oddity .
