Oh René Cardona. Here you are remaking the lucha libre movie you did back in 1962, Las Luchadoras Contra el Medico Asesino, or The Wrestling Women vs. the Killer Doctor or Doctor of Doom, as it was called in the U.S.
While this was made in 1969 as La Horripilante Bestia Humana, or The Horrible Man-Beast, this one didn't play in the U.S. until 1972. With alternate titles like Horror y Sexo and Gomar - The Human Gorilla, this is a fine blend of ladies wrestling with apes and, well, human heart surgery footage.
Rene is also known for his films Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy, the incredibly baffling Santa Claus and Survive!, a movie all about plane crashes and cannibalism.
Female masked wrestler Lucy dresses like the devil and wrestles at the arena - dare we say Arena Mexico? - every Friday, where she often knocks out other girls who dress like cat girls. She wants to retire for a life of leisure - and less stress - with her cop boyfriend.
However, Dr. Krellman (Jose Elias Moreno, who was Santa Claus in the aforementioned film where he battles Patch the demon) wants to cure his son from leukemia. So he does what doctors have always said would work - he puts him a gorilla heart inside his boy. As we all know from health class, this turns his son into a deformed and murderous man-ape with the craziness of the organ donor to boot.
You won't be bored, what with the nudity, real open heart surgery and rampant murders. A monkey man that rips off dudes' faces and the clothes of girls? Si, muchacho.
This made the Section 1 video nasties list, probably because its VHS cover art was had a bloody surgeon's hands holding a scalpel with the words "Warning: this film contains scenes of extreme and explicit violence."
