8A group of Americans go to a Mexican ghost town to make a porno film. As it turns out, their filming location is the residence of El Mascarado, a MaskedLuchador who killed a man in the ring. And he's still bloodthirsty...
9
10Not to be confused with ''Wrestling/WrestleMania''.
11
12!!This film contains examples of:
13
14* AmbiguouslyBi: Dallas, Debbie and Daisy are willing to be sexual with each other and Alphonse on camera, but it's unclear how much of any of their actions are based on actual sexual interest and how much is [[SituationalSexuality the pay]].
15* AntagonistTitle: El Mascarado is the "Wrestlemaniac."
16* ArtisticLicenseSports: It's a pretty silly movie anyway, but the idea that the Mexican president would try to create the ultimate ''luchador'' to ''win wrestling gold at the Olympics'' is laughably absurd, as ''lucha libre'' has about as much in common with ''sports'' wrestling as it does with ballet (or arguably even ''less'').
17* BigBad: El Mascarado, the psychotic luchador killing everybody.
18* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:El Mascarado kills everybody and gets a vehicle to expand his killing grounds.]]
19* GenericDoomsdayVillain: El Mascarado is a {{justified|Trope}} example, being a LivingWeapon created to wrestle. Being created for a combat sport, all he knows is violence, and he kills anybody he can get ahold of.
20* GhostTown: Los Sangre de Dios, the town they put El Mascarado in after he went mad. [[spoiler:It's the way it is because El Mascarado killed everybody.]]
21* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Dallas is impaled on a pipe.]]
22* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:El Mascarado gets a vehicle and skips town to continue his killing spree.]]
23* LivingWeapon: El Mascarado was created to be the perfect luchador, up to and including following the rules to the letter.
24* MsFanservice: All the female leads, due to being porn stars.
25* OurZombiesAreDifferent: This one is a ravenous monster made by stitching three great wrestlers together, and has all their combat skill.
26* {{Portmantitle}}: ''Wrestling/WrestleMania''+"Maniac."
27* PresidentEvil: El Mascarado was created by the Mexican President having the three best luchadors in the country Frankensteined together to create the greatest luchador of all time ''[[EvilIsPetty all so he could win the gold in wrestling the next Olympics!]]''
28* PunBasedTitle: ''Wrestling/WrestleMania''+"Maniac."
29* RoomFullOfCrazy: El Mascarado lives in a room set up to resemble a wrestling ring, with the walls covered with [[CreepySouvenir all the faces he's removed over the years.]]
30* ShoutOut: There's a diner called Chez [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Voorhees]].
31* TearOffYourFace: El Mascarado does this in his kills, carrying on the luchador tradition of removing the mask of one's defeated foe.
32* WrestlingMonster: El Mascarado, a creature made to be the perfect wrestler, but went batshit insane and started killing his opponents.
