In Monster Brawl, eight legendary monsters (Frankenstein, Cyclops, Witch Bitch, The Wolfman, Swamp Gut, The Mummy, Lady Vampire, and a zombie) battle it out in the ring to see who is the greatest of them all; sounds all sorts of awesome, huh? Well, trust me when I say that this 'film' couldn't have been more tiresome had they intended it to be.
What we get are 8 very cheap looking monsters, a crappy graveyard set, boring back-stories for each monster to pad out the running time, several unexciting wrestling bouts, inane chat from commentators Buzz Chambers and Sasquatch Sid Tucker (Dave Foley and Art Hindle), former wrestling manager Jimmy Hart as the guest announcer, a pair of sexy ring girls (to keep the viewer from completely nodding off), and some risible bargain basement gore effects.
It's all so repetitive, poorly executed and lacking in atmosphere (a crowd of cheering monster fans might have helped, but I doubt the budget would have stretched that far) that I imagine even the most fervent of wrestling fans will find this a chore to sit through—and that's saying something!
