Don't mind me if I give this top marks. It's a Mexican Video Nasty about a kid who gets a heart transplant from an ape, and then turns into an ape man that goes terrorizing women.

But then he gets another heart transplant from a female professional wrestler.... and then is still an ape man on the prowl terrorizing women but this time he's wearing what looks like pink silk pajama bottoms.

One of my personal favorite parts is when they kick up some of the fake grass during a struggle to reveal the stage beneath it.

Make no mistake, this movie stinks, but it falls nicely into the so bad it's good part of horrible.
