1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
2** A bit regarding [[BigBad Ramses]]. Is he really the JerkAss we see as a result of his own wants or his persona, or is he a man who's sick of his constant fame and pampering. Notice how he pointedly ignores any praise he gets, and only directly antagonizes people after [[BerserkButton they refer to him as number one]].
3** Possible, although he does shove Nacho over to the point of ''breaking a cart and laughing at him'' after Nacho just asks for an autograph for the kids; when he's getting oiled up for his fight with Nacho later, he also doesn't seem to mind being told he's number one. So it seems more like he just doesn't like being bothered by people he considers beneath him.
4* AluminumChristmasTrees: Loosely based on the RealLife luchador Fray Tormenta, a priest who fought in the ring to support an orphanage. [[LongRunners For 23 years.]]
5* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack's ''epic'' remix of Mr. Loco's obscure 70s hit "Hombre Religioso (Religious Man)," which adds a gorgeous orchestral/choral accompaniment to the original recording, courtesy of the one and only Music/DannyElfman.
6* CriticalDissonance: The film received mostly mixed reviews from critics but was more warmly received by audiences, especially from fans of ProfessionalWrestling and [[MaskedLuchador lucha libre]]. Additionally, some critics claimed the movie was offensive to Mexican culture while the movie itself [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales is quite popular with actual Mexicans]].
7* MemeticMutation
8** "NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
9** "When you are a man... sometimes you wear stretchy pants... in your room. ... Is for fun."
10** GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!!!
11** Those eggs were a lie, Steven. A LIE!
12* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: The vast majority of the Website/YouTube videos for the film originate from Mexico, who presumably aren't bothered by the star being a ''gringo'' portraying a Mexican. This is probably to be expected, considering [[MaskedLuchador the source material]].
