In this politically charged drama, two young agriculturalists have returned to their home village to try and bring about positive changes in the ways local farmers do things. One has seen how it is done on U.S. farms; for years he was an illegal farmhand there. The other has been studying agronomy in college. Unfortunately, they are strenuously opposed by the big landowner in the region, who has gone unopposed while exploiting the little farmers for as long as anyone can remember. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this over-the-top comedy from Mexico, Tun Tun and Alfonso Zayas play a pair of good friends who go into business for themselves when Tun Tun wins big in a bet on a sporting match. The two buy a bar that, in addition to dispensing drinks, also serves as a clearinghouse for gigolos offering lonely women romance in exchange for money. Zayas, who has always considered himself a top ladies' man, eagerly steps in as the club's new bartender and leading male escort, but he soon finds that his clientele is largely made up of alcoholics, aging old maids, women with medical conditions, and even a few cross-dressing men. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Prolific Mexican filmmaker Rene Cardona (Santo Contra el Estrangulador) returned to the popular masked-wrestling fantasy series with this stereotype-filled tale of a mad scientist named Dr. Mathus, who uses human blood to revive the dead. It is up to the heroic silver-masked Santo (Rodolfo Guzman Huerta) to prevent the evil doctor from using his zombie army to take over the world. Nadia Milton co-stars in this Santo entry with Freddy Fernandez and Enrique Lucero. Cardona, who had directed the ghastly La Horripilante Bestia Humana the previous year, also appears in the cast. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Lon Chaney does the strong-and-silent bit as Shawnee chief Blackfish. Daniel Boone, Trail Blazer was filmed in its entirety in Mexico. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
