EL DEMONIO AZUL - Ing Heinrich Henkel - "BLUE DEMON" (1964)

The title sez it all!! This is the original "Blue Demon" flick made in 1965, and even though, he is arguably one of THE greatest wrasslers in history, in this outing, he has his hands full!!

All the time people ask me, Eegah!! Why do you spend so much time on these Mexican wrasslin' movies? Take one look at this photo, and come up with yer own answer, amigo!!

Aye Chihuahua!!! See what can happen!! Now you kids know why your Mom and Dad told you not to never run downhill!!!!

This was not the first film Blue Demon had ever been in, because way back in 1961 he appeared in "La Furia Del Ring," as Blue Demond, but "El Demonio Del Azul" was his first championship role!!!

C'mon Man, you just know you're not sposed to be reading books like that!!!

Now even your girlfriend doesn't believe anything you say, and you ain't going to be getting any tonight neither!!

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Blue Demon has his own cross to bear!!!

Kookie werewolf dude goes through madcap transformation scene!!!

Now what are you gonna do? It's proof positive that reading is overrated, had he just been illiterate, and not read that book, none of this would have happened!!! Less reading, more fornication, that's the bottom line here!!!

The music put together by the formiable Ing. Heinrch Henkel is all over the place from 40's serials to "Forbidden Planet" style theremin electronica! Buena suerte finding a copy of this film, that's just the nature of the beast sometimes!! Take what you can get!
