Green Ghost & the Masters of the Stone (2021)

[cranefly]

Talk about a dedication.  So Green Ghost is the gringo played by Charlie Clark, a name you ought to remember--or not.  He more than fills out his Lucha libre costume.  If I understand the dedication, he was abandoned as a child by his family, but taken in and raised by a Mexican mother.  Indebted for her kindness, he decided to pay her back by making this movie and dragging her to the premier.  She looks a mixture of appreciative, embarrassed, and overwhelmed.  Charlie Clark not only stars(?) in this vehicle but wrote it and produced it and other things--but not directed, perhaps for the better.  I think what he did is wonderful from a moral standpoint, but I do wish he had given Trejo a meatier role.  Trejo looks a little lost, having nothing more to do than sip from a flask, stumble around, and deliver master mumbo-jumbo lines.

Definitely Marco is the one to watch.  With his size, I don't think he can do such fightacrobatics for long.  A pleasure to watch him once more.
