In Mexico, Santo, El Enmascarado de Plata, was like a combination of Joe Namath and the Lone Ranger. He was a masked wrestling star, but also the star of comic books, and more than fifty movies. This is the earliest of three Santo movies I have seen, and in my opinion, the least entertaining. Though shot in 1966, this movie has the feel of a low-budget, black-and-white 50s Sci-Fi flick like Plan Nine From Outer Space. While there are definitely entertaining campy elements here, such as the Martian costumes and a dance number, the movie drags quite a bit, especially during the wrestling. There are quite a few bonuses on this DVD, in Spanish with English subtitles, though Amazon doesn't currently mention them. There is an extensive, though not particularly illuminating interview with El Hijo del Santo, the original Santo's son, also a wrestler and movie actor. And there is a "commentary" by a professor in Spanish, not a commentary track, but a separate short film, with poor subtitles, discussing the Santo phenomenon. And there are also animated biographies of Santo and Wolf Ruvinskis, the wrestler-turned-actor who plays Argos the leader of the Martians. This isn't the most captivating movie experience you'll ever have, but it is the best Santo DVD available and thus earns four stars.

Why do martians wrestle Santo instead of using their magic eye to vaporize him ? After the martian invasion, why do Santo's friends hold cocktail parties ? Why are Santo and his professor buddy the only ones fighting the martians ? How do the martians know how to wrestle ? Why are earthling men so taken by the not-so-hot martian-ettes ?
Who cares. This is a fun, campy wrestling movie. With some of the worst and most laughable special effects ever. But that is what makes it fun. You won't be sorry you bought this movie.

Santo made over 50 films, and his most memorable ones involved battles against evil scientists or supernatural creatures. Santo vs. the Vampire Women is probably his most famous film, but it doesn't give Santo very much screen time and tends to drag in places. Santo vs. the Martians, however, is entertaining all the way through. I've heard people criticize it saying that it's a tad "campy", but to me that's like criticizing an Arnold movie for having excessive violence. I really think that this is the only Santo film that doesn't require any fast-forwarding. Hopefully someone will release other Santo films on DVD (along with films from Mil Mascaras). BTW, I should state that I haven't seen the DVD yet, so I have no way of knowing whether it's done well or not. The other Santo films on DVD (from a different company) are definitely bare-boned efforts, but this one appears to be upscale enough to include alternative subtitles, so it can't be too bad.

If you're already an El Santo fan and understand the appeal of a beefy masked Mexican wrestler saving the earth from similarly muscled Martian invaders, you should order now, right now, and add Santo vs. La Invasion De Los Marcianos to the collection. For the uninitiated, the meandering plot lines, low budget effects and bikinied Martian go-go girls might be a bit intimidating. Don't be afraid, even my wife enjoyed this one. The extras aren't bad either.

First - I love old sci fi movies. Production values on this one are surprisingly good. That's where the good news stops, though. The story line - well not much there. I guess if I was a true Santo fan, I would love every scene to involve wrestling. But this got old real fast. How many different motivations or reasons for wrestling can you get - with Martians. Sorry, turned it off after about 1/2 of the movie - my time was too valuable to waste.

if you like Santo movies, this is classic.
The Martians have Gold stretch pants,capes and padded hats with blonde hair proturding and make several remarks about Earthlings looking funny......

This is an excellent , moral movie of a true hero . Santo was still in shape in this movie and showed what was expected from me to see about 34 years later. This is one of the "where are they"? (as opposed to How many are they? ) type of movie from Santo . Highly recommended. Lots of clean "lucha libre" . The Martians present a solution to mankind problems before affecting the rest of the universe (including the martians)- they made two mistakes: They were imposing and of course they faced Santo.

Santo has battled everyone from his fellow wrestlers to zombies, vampires, vampire women, the King of Crime, evil wax figures, a Hotel of Death, the Strangler, the Ghost of the Strangler and Satanic Power at this point. So yes, it was time to put Martians into the camel clutch.
Santo battles Wolf Ruvinskis, who also played Neutron, and who was also a luchador. He also goes up against Maura Monti, who played The Batwoman. Yes, Martian women have come here and they’re ready to take all our masked wrestlers.
The Martians have Astral Eyes on the top of their heads, which allow them to disintegrate human beings. Luckily, they can’t last long in our atmosphere. And even their most comely interstellar lasses can’t seduce El Enmascarado de Plata.
There’s also a bad guy named Hercules who unmasks Santo, played by Spanish wrestler Benny Galant, who for some reason acted as a Frenchman while in Mexico. Santo pulls a Mil Mascaras years before that was a thing and has another mask underneath, screwing over that red planet rudo. Hurricane Ramirez — a wrestler who started as a movie character before becoming the real thing played by Eduardo Bonada — is in this, if you’re interested in 1960’s luchadors.
I mean, Mexican wrestlers fight aliens. Life can be perfect, if you allow it to be.
