The Panther Women (Las mujeres panteras) + introduction

The Panther Women (Las mujeres panteras) plunges into the wild world of 1960s Mexican pulp cinema, where (brilliantly named) fierce female wrestlers Loreta Venus and The Golden Rubi find themselves caught in a whirlwind of dark magic. The pair wind up pitted against the Panther Women, a glamorous and satanic cult of werepanthers waging relentless war against the descendants of the druid who once killed their ancient leader. With the mesmerizing exotic dancer and vedette Tongolele adding to the intrigue, The Panther Women serves up a heady dose of pulp thrills and high-energy action. This film delightfully blends gothic horror with the world of lucha libre, featuring a knock-off version of El Santo and a bevy of bloodthirsty, impeccably made-up wrestlers. Spanish with English subtitles.
