Here
is the final NEUTRON film [NEUTRON VS THE KARATE KILLERS] starring Wolf
Rubinskis (see NEUTRON
THE BLACK MASK and NEUTRON
VS DR CARONTE for his earlier movies). For this film, masked
superhero Neutron battles a gang of robotic assassins who use their
hands and feet as deadly weapons These karate killers wreck havoc around
the globe, especially in Paris and London, before Neutron is asked to
assist in the investigation. The second movie [oddly called NEUTRON
TRAPS THE INVISIBLE KILLER even though superhero Neutron doesn't appear]
stars Jorge Rivero as Golden Mask, a good-guy wrestler attempting to
stop a criminal who uses invisibility to rob banks, kill people and
stalk a pretty nightclub singer [played by Ana Bertha Lepe, from SHIP
OF MONSTERS]. Despite the inexplicable absence of Neutron, it's
a surprisingly entertaining feature from legendary Rene Cardona [ofTHE NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APE (Bestia Humana) fame].
Wolf
Ruvinskis was a masked Mexican wrestler in the late 40's through the
'60s. For his films, he used the Neutron alias. Unlike the movies of
his contemporaries [Santo, Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras, et al],
the Neutron movies never include wrestling-in-the-ring segments. Also,
Neutron did not share a reluctance to remove his mask. For much of his
film - especially when he's not challenging the bad guy(s) - Neutron
participates unmasked, but often incognito. Sometimes Wolf would make
other types of movies, often playing gangsters [as he did is the Libertad
Leblanc crime-noir SLAVE
OF DESIRE]. Wolf Ruvinskis died from a heart attack while shooting
the movie Los 6 Mandamientos de la Risa [The Six Commandments
of Laughter] in 1999 at age 78.
