Alfredo B. Crevenna made two movies about El Latigo (The Whip) — The Whip and The Whip vs. Satan, which is the movie we’re about to discuss. He also made 1973’s Santo vs. Black Magic Woman and 1979’s Fury of the Karate Killers, where Santo and El Tieneblas battles karate men.
There’s also another Whip movie called The Whip vs. the Killer Mummies directed by Angel Rodriguez Vazquez. You better believe I already have it.
The Whip (Juan Miranda) is pretty much Zorro with a whip. The difference is that he’s always battling much stranger things. This time, it’s cultists, b-roll rootage of a volcano and Satan himself, who has amazing delay on his voice.
Yes, in addition to being able to use a bullwhip, our hero is the master of the occult. I mean, what kind of man battles someone who he thinks is Old Scratch — armed with a flamethrower — and brings just a rope made out of cowhide? The Whip. That’s who, muchacho.
You know what? Just watch the whole movie right here.
