* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Nothing horrendous but their are little mistakes to Consecrated Life i.e. brother, sister, monk, nun.

* LethalJokeCharacter: What Nacho seems to have evolved into by the end of the film. His moves aren't as refined as Ramses', and involve a lot of showboating and pranking.

And of course, if his HeroicResolve kicks in, he'll channel the spirit of the Eagle on your ass.

* ArtisticLicenseSports: A great many liberties are taken with professional wrestling. The most glaring issue is that it presents wrestling as real and not staged, but this can be forgiven for the sake of the plot. However, certain basic rules in professional wrestling (even in kayfabe) are ignored. For example, to finish one match, the hero receives a tombstone piledriver, a move which is illegal in Mexico, where the story is set. In the climax of the film, he even pins his opponent... outside the ring.
