To this day the beginning of "Nine Deaths of the Ninja" makes me laugh.  The film itself has plenty of crazy scenes, including the midget attack squad, but when I see those dancers spinning around Sho Kosugi as he whips his sword to the lyrics of that ridiculous song - it's just too funny.

If you ever find a copy watch CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE. The very best of the Mexican masked wrestler films.

I'm guessing the Good one is X-the MAN WITH THE X RAY EYES!

[Rev. Powell]

RC got the good one right!  Shocked that I couldn't find a bad movie that started with X.  I haven't seen XANADU, but I thought of putting it in the X slot.

Scott, I have never seen a Mexican wrestler movie.  (Hangs head in shame).

I think that I would have picked "The Violent Years" out of that batch.  Oh, some of the Mexican wrestler movies are great.  Santo, Blue Demon, and a few less known others...

My personal favorites are CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE and SANTO VS THE VAMPIRE WOMEN, some of the others have some dry spots, but they all seem to feature 2 actual pro wrestling matches in the ring. Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras are the better known masked wrestling movie stars.

One thing's for sure. SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS is not only not the "good" movie, but it's also not "so bad it's good."  It's just plain bad !!
