The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy (1958)
A large part of The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy (1958), I’m guessing about two-thirds of it, is told in flashback, which makes sense because only about one-third is original material. The flashback sequences are actually recaps of two previous movies: The Aztec Mummy (1957) and The Curse of the Aztec Mummy (1958). It’s an…
