1* ActorSharedBackground:
2** Besides being Trino's AuthorAvatar, El Santos shares many details with him, along them being soccer fans, especially from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Atlas Club Atlas]], being from Jalisco (especifically from Ajijic, near the Chapala Lake, when Trino lives) and being both foul-mouthed. The only trait Trino does not share with Santos is being a {{Jerkass}}, since Trino is famous for being a pretty nice guy in RealLife.
3** Ditto with Regina Orozco (Tetona's voice actress) as she was a prostitute before becoming an actress.
4* AlanSmithee: A very ''weird'' case: Rather than being the voice actors the ones using alias for hiding their identities, it's the '''animation studio''' the one using an alias instead: The movie is animated by Anima Studio, under the ''Peyote Films'' name (the ones who worked in the animated adaptation of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' and the WesternAnimation/TopCat's recent animated movie) and the reason for doing that ([[WordOfGod according with both Trino and Jis]]) is because they don't want to have any problems with any potential clients if they find out they worked in [[ToiletHumor such a family-unfriendly movie like this]].
5** Curiously enough, Anima Studio created an animation division geared to animation geared for adults and teens, and their first project will be an animated TV series based in the comic.
6* AllStarCast: In the film.
7* BoxOfficeBomb: The film bombed hard against other foreign films, with a box office of about $600,000 dollars just in Mexico. Curiously enough, that wasn't enough to kill any potential animated adaptations, as Anima Studio will release an animated TV adaptation at 2021.
8* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Some stuff from the earlier issues from the comic book were different from the latter ones and also from the movie:
9** El Santos was originally taller and fatter and less prone to use profanity than his latter incarnations, not to mention the humor was more of the normal (albeit a bit wierder) type.
10** Valdivia was a {{Jerkass}} like everyone else earlier.
11** In his first appearances, El Peyote was bigger and didn't wear sunglasses.
12* MorePopularSpinoff: The original comic strip first appeared as a small feature in the authors's previous work ''La Croqueta''.
13* TroubledProduction: Trino's idea for the movie hails from the year 2000, but due to technical and budget problems, the film didn't came out until 2012.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was originally planned as a CGI movie, but due to the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley final results]], they decided to use traditional animation instead.
