There's something about the way Bela pushes "the lotion" with an almost lascivious glee that cracks me up every time. BTW, I think the creature effects are very silly in both films, but I enjoy that.Jack Veaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977307877931598517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906289048359148261.post-77367423662732678062011-01-19T01:41:40.774-08:002011-01-19T01:41:40.774-08:00Zucco is indeed, as he is in most things, fun to w...Zucco is indeed, as he is in most things, fun to watch in this film.<br /><br />While I agree with you about the use of Aztec lore, I'm not a fan of the flying serpent in this pic, except as an unintentional bit of comedy.

(I suppose really it all hinges on Zucco: if you love him almost as much as you love Bela, as I do, then he's good enough to carry virtually anything, and he's in prime form here. Although I would also add that the use of Aztec lore is fresh and unusual, and the serpent itself I thought a quite magnificent beast!)Matthew Coniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302989527514886503noreply@blogger.com
