Santo: Infraterrestre (2001)
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Attempt by El Hijo de Santo to revive the popular film series on a five-peso budget does a great disservice to the memory of his father by cheapening the Santo name and character (Santo with a flying car? Are you fucking kidding?). Entertainment value, even unintentional, is scarce here (laughing at the Amiga-level computer graphics only goes so far). The vintage Santos may not have been Art, but they were fun and endearingly loopy. This quick-buck cheapie garners a few sympathy points, but in the end it's just sad.
Grade: D+
