Summary
A psychiatrist uses his wife's hypnotically recovered memories of a past life as an Aztec princess to discover a hidden tomb with treasures... but they come with a curse.
And a mad scientist has a plan to overcome the curse and steal the treasure to fund his evil masterplan.
I chose this at random, cuz with a title like that, how could I resist! I did not know:
- it was the third film in a trilogy
- it recapped and recycled much of the first two films, which would explain why 80% seems like retelling and flashbacks.
- it was the second movie ever riffed by Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
Despite being a brief 64 minutes, it still feels like this could have been cut another 20 minutes, and the promised "robot"-(more like a cyborg)-on-mummy action was only a few minutes at the very end.

Aw yeah, this was a monsterdon movie last december... back when I was still new to it.

I didn't see the previous movies so I kind of liked the Aztec parts and wished there was more of that. The villain scientist was doing his best. The robot was fun in a campy way. But mostly it was pretty tedious.
Yeah, the villain brought it to life a bit, but yeah a bit of a slog. Especially as being 80%retelling/flashback meant there was little jeopardy.
