5.0 out of 5 stars Atomic Blue Mexican Wrestler, January 6, 2000

By

This review is from: Atomic Blue: Mexican Wrestler [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Atomic Blue Mexican wrestler is a fantastic film. It combines action, comedy, drama and politics. I thought the film was quite entertaining. For an independent film it has a very high production value. The actors in the film were great especially Azul, Hirsch and Nick. The wrestling scenes are realistic and well done. Culture Clash is hilarious. The video sends a serious message and does very interesting political satire. Azul's populist appeal reminds me of Super Bario a famous Mexican wresler. The soundtrack is also quite good. All in all this video is a interesting and entertaining film that I would highly reccommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL TICKLER, January 4, 2000

By 

Luz Maria Castellano, URBAN LATINO MAGAZINE (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atomic Blue: Mexican Wrestler [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A nostalgic tribute to the ever popular Mexican wrestling movies of the 50's and 60's. Fast Mexican wrestling action, colorful costumes, and a positive message for kids of all ages. Audience acclaim at various film festivals including the Latino International Film Festival Los Angeles, San Diego Latino International Film Festival, San Antonio Latino International Film Festival

The movie is particularly noteworthy for featuring the music of Los Straitjackets, Viva Malpache, Yeska and El Vez. The score by Phil Pellitier is particularly reminiscent of movies like Repo Man. This movie is certain to become a cult classic; it was well received at all film festivals and is particularly Troma like in its approach to indie filmmaking. This film was shot over a period of two weeks and includes amazing Mexican wrestling shot in and around the underground Mexican wrestling scene of Los Angeles. Stunt choreography and wrestling by the legendary Karl Lauer. Shot by Daniel Kozman and 2nd unit photography by the Director, the film includes enough to entertain and delight the most discriminating of wrestling fans and SCI Fi Cult Horror movie aficionados. Enjoy it like a fine wine!

Azul Atomico is the best kept secret in wrestling movies. The story is one for the whole family, the soundtrack is awesome, the Culture Clash guys are hilarious, and it's a great film altogether! This makes a great gift for anyone who likes wrestling and Lucha Libre!
