Here
are the first two NEUTRON movies starring Wolf Rubinskis (later changed
to Ruvinskis). More followed in the series (see NEUTRON
VS DR CARONTE). For his debut film, Neutron has his hands full.
A scientist named Walker illicitly gains control of a nuclear bomb and
partners with the real villain, megalomaniac Dr. Caronte, who plans
to conquer the world with an army of bulletproof zombies. The second
movie opens with a young woman being attacked and killed on the street
by a madman [in a black cape and white mask, wielding a huge knife]
who is actually filming himself as he does it. Neutron follows the clues
back to a very unusual insane asylum.
Wolf
Ruvinskis was a masked Mexican wrestler in the 1940 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. That action is reserved
for his encounters with the villain (usually his arch-enemy Dr Caronte).
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 'out-of-character' movies with other wrestlers (SANTO
VS THE MARTIANS). He moved to television in the late 1970s [starring
in Jorge Rivero's Western series The Mexican]. 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.
