The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy	comment	With a sub-barrel-bottomed budget, this 1958 Mexican horror outing features wicked old Dr. Krupp, a.k.a. "The Bat", the crazed experimenter who caused trouble in this film's two predecessors, The Aztec Mummy and Curse of the Aztec Mummy (both 1957), up to his old tricks. As in the former features, he is again trying to trick the Aztec mummy Popoca into leaving his crypt so the bad doctor can get at the treasure within. This time his scheme entails the invention of the titular tin man (complete with incandescent light-bulb ears), a device he equips with a human brain. A horrific battle ensues when the two monsters collide.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page.

The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy / int_1eed8e76	comment	The Juggernaut: Bullets have no effect on Popoca, and he makes short work of Krupp's super-strong robot. In previous films he survived a temple collapsing on him.

She gets sacrificed in a past life as Xochi, gets kidnapped and hypnotized by Krupp in her present life and is made an unwilling servant of Krupp via said hypnosis, doing tasks for him while sleepwalking like a non-lethal Cesare.

The mummy in this movie gets bindings and a sarcophagus that are much more in line with Egyptian practices.
