Reception
Influence
The film was featured in the season 6 finale of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was Frank Conniff's final show before his departure, aside from a brief cameo in the season 10 episode Soultaker.

It has been noted that the film was chosen due to Conniff's fondess for Mexican wrestler movies.
