Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

El Santo was already a folk hero by 1976; this was one of 52 films he made, often shot in weeks on shoestring budgets.

Trivia

Santo never removed his mask publicly until a 1984 TV interview, weeks before his death—making his masked romance scenes here oddly authentic.
