* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: 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]].

* TearJerker: The aftermath of Nacho losing his fight against Silencio. He returns to the monastery depressed to find out he has been evicted. As he leaves, Nacho tells Chancho that he is going into the wilderness expecting to eventually die. Chancho gives Nacho his mother's lucky machete as a parting gift. Things eventually get better when Esqueleto finds Nacho and tells Nacho about Silencio's injury.

Authors Saving Throw is now Trivia that requires a citation from Word Of God. But I don't think this counts even if it did have a citation.

** 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.

The movie is very popular on the US-Mexican border where there are heavy Mexican-American populations

Removed a "Fair For its Day" entry saying that it wouldnt be acceptable today for a mexican film to be made by white filmmakers. The reason I removed it is because there are white people in Mexico, in fact, white pople are pretty common since its an ethnically diverse country.

* FairForItsDay: In a more racially conscious age where whitewashing and cultural appropriation are greater hot button issues, having a Mexican character played by a white actor in a movie (a kids' movie, no less) about a distinctly Mexican culture made by white filmmakers would no doubt be much more controversial. However, it remains extremely popular with Mexican and Mexican-American audiences for it's sincere reverence to the culture it's depicting, as well as it's otherwise entirely Mexican and Mexcian-American cast.
