Goofs

Continuity: When Nacho and Sister are sitting on the bed eating toast, the toast in Nacho's hands changes continually. Revealing mistakes: Obvious (slender) stunt double during some of the wrestling matches. Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double during man on fire sequence. Continuity: When Nacho and Esqueleto are given their payment after their first match, Nacho's mask is askew. In the next cut, it's perfectly put on. Continuity: When Nacho throws the chips into Sister Encarnación's salad, the chips are visible on top of the salad. In the next shot, there are no chips on the salad. Continuity: When Silencio throws El Chino and Esqueleto during the battle royal, El Chino lands inside the ring, in the next shot, he's no longer in the ring. Continuity: Nacho knocks the corn out of Esqueleto's hand onto the ground, but in the next shot it is gone. Continuity: When Ignacio and Esqueleto are at the party, Esqueleto is eating corn on the cob. When Candidia approaches Esqueleto by the case full of dolls, the corn is gone, and then later reappears. DATE: The plot takes place in early '70s. In one of the first cuts, when Nacho is a kid (some 20 years before the main plot), he pulls off a cloth from above a color TV. Color television started in Mexico in late '60s. Continuity: After Nacho puts salad dressing on Sister Encarnación salad and it cuts back and forth from their perspectives, in one scene the salad dressing is gone. Revealing mistakes: When "Chancho" and the orphans first start watching Nacho on television they are wearing their day clothes. After the shot of "Chancho" covering the TV, the orphans are all wearing their pajamas i.e white tank tops. Fact errors: SPOILER: In Lucha Libre, Ramses should have been disqualified for ripping off Nacho's mask. Continuity: The gruel that Nacho spills outside the bowl changes shape between scenes. Continuity: When Nacho is singing at Ramses' party, Ramses throws a glass of wine on Nacho's shirt. Nacho then immediately rushes to the aid of Esqueleto and his shirt does not have the wine on it. But in the next scene outside the party, the wine stain is back. Continuity: When Nacho's habit catches fire in church, the leggings on his costume are obviously blackened with soot as he rolls on the grass outside the church. When he stands up, the leggings are only slightly soiled. Also, he is wearing his Lucha Libre red boots and not the white boots he had been wearing right before the fire. CHAR: Under lucha libre rules, once a luchador is on the ropes, his opponent must release any holds. In Nacho's first match, he does not let go of his opponent's legs after he grabs the ropes. PLOT: SPOILER: The winner of the Battle Jam will win $10,000 Pecos, and the right to fight Ramses in an exhibition. Silencio won the Battle Jam, so he won the money. Nacho did not win any money for beating Ramses as the participants of an exhibition are never paid. PLOT: SPOILER: Silencio would have been disqualified from the Battle Jam in real life as he used the tombstone pile-driver on Nacho, which is illegal in Lucha Libre. Indeed, the movie fails repeatedly to follow the rules of Lucha Libre. Continuity: Nacho pulls the lining of Ramses's leggings over his head. After Ramses pulls the lining off his head, the next shot shows the lining in a bunch on his back. In the next shot, the lining is gone. Continuity: The positions of Ramses's left hand and forearm as Nacho attempts to pin him. CHAR: Nacho makes the Sign of the Cross a couple of times during the movie. However, when he does it just before he "baptizes" Esqueleto, he uses his left hand, when he should have used his right hand. Revealing mistakes: During the fight sequence between Ramses and Nacho towards the end of the movie, Nacho is knocked down and Ramses pulls him back up by his hair. Ramses then punches him once or twice, and then goes to knee him in the face. When he does this, you can see that Ramses knee never makes contact with Nacho's. It is actually several inches away. SYNC: When sister is reading the letter delivered by Esquelto, we hear Nacho's voice. When she gets to the second page, the words on the page do not match up with what is being said. Revealing mistakes: When Nacho goes to the sisters house she says it's late. However, when they are eating toast you can see sunlight outside and can tell it's around the afternoon. Continuity: In the opening when they show young Nacho gathering items to make his first cape, the hand/fingers that reaches up to grab the rosary beads is thin and then when it shows him assembling the cape the hand/fingers are chubby. Continuity: When Nacho is in the 'mountain' towards the end of the film the clouds behind him change shape between shots. Fact errors: SPOILER: In Lucha Libre, Nacho cannot win the match by pinning Ramses outside of the ring, only by pinning him inside the ring. Fact errors: SPOILER: The luchadors who beat Nacho and Esqueleto with their belts should have been disqualified, as such an act is illegal in lucha libre. Continuity: At the end of the party scene, Candidia grabs Esqueleto legs and tries to pull him into the tunnel, you see that the plant gets knocked down. A few seconds later the plant gets stood back up, but by the end of the scene the plant is back knocked over. CHAR: When Nacho and Stephen are wrestling in the alley (while Stephen is eating the chips that Nacho has tossed on the ground), Nacho calls Stephen "Hector". Hector is the first name of the actor playing Stephen. Continuity: Nacho tosses a handful of chips into the alley to entice Stephen to come out. The tossing would likely spread the chips all over the alley. When Stephen is eating the chips they are in a nice little pile. Miscellaneous: At the beginning of the first match, Nacho and Esqueleto are asked if they want to do a mask or hair match. Nacho says they will bet Esqueleto's hair. Since they lost the match, Esqueleto should have shaved his head. |

Nacho: I was wondering if you would like to join me in my quarters this night... for some toast. Nacho: Chancho. When you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room. It's for fun. Nacho: Don't you want a little taste of the glory? See what it tastes like? Esqueleto: NO! Esqueleto: I don't believe in God, I believe in science. Nacho: They think I do not know a buttload of crap about the Gospel, but I do! Sister Encarnación: Well, my favorite color is light tan. My favourite animal is puppies. I like serving the Lord. Hiking, play volleyball... Nacho: You gotta be kidding me. Everything you just said, is MY favourite thing to do, every day! Sister Encarnación: Wrestling is ungodly Ignacio. People cheer for him... and he is a false idol. Nacho: Whatever. Señor Ramon: What is this? Nacho: Leftovers. Enjoy. Señor Ramon: There is no flavor. There are no spices. Where are the chips? Nacho: Somebody stole them. Señor Ramon: Did you not tell them that they were the Lord's chips? Nacho: I was trying to! Señor Ramon: You are useless Ignacio! Elderly Monk: Silence brothers! This is the worst lunch I ever had. Señor Ramon: Your only job is to cook. Do you not realize I have had diarrhea since Easters? Nacho: Ok... Maybe I am not meant for these duties. Cooking duty. Dead guy duty. Maybe it's time for me to get a better duty! Nacho: I'm a little concerned right now. About... your salvation and stuff. How come you have not been baptized? Esqueleto: Because I never got around to it ok? I dunno why you always have to be judging me because I only believe in science. Nacho: Where is he? Nacho: Ok. Orphans! Listen to Ignacio. I know it is fun to wrestle. A nice piledrive to the face... or a punch to the face... but you cannot do it. Because, it is in the Bible not to wrestle your neighbour. Chancho: So you've never wrestled? Nacho: Me? No. Come on. Don't be crazy. I know the wrestlers get all the fancy ladies, and the clothes, and the fancy creams and lotions. But my life is good! Really good! I get to wake up every morning, at 5AM, and make some soup! It's the best. I love it. I get to lay in a bed, all by myself, all of my life! That's fantastic! Go. Go away! Read some books! Nacho: My life is good. Real good. Esqueleto: Summon your eagle powers. Nacho: What do you think I'm doing? Nacho: [Losing badly, about to take a big hit] Eagle powers... come to me! Please! Esqueleto: Surpise. [holding corn in both hands] Nacho: Get that corn outta my face! Nacho: When the fantasy has ended/and all the children are gone/Something good inside me/helps me to carry on/I ate some bugs/I ate some grass/I used my hand to wipe my tears/To kiss your mouth/I break my vows/no no no no no no way Jose/Unless you want to/Then we break our vows together. Nacho: I'm not listening to you. You're crazy. Nacho: Those eggs were a lie, Esqueleto. A LIE! They give me no eagle powers! The give me no nutrients! Esqueleto: Sorry. Nacho: I don't want to get paid to lose. I wanna win! Nacho: I am a-singing at the party / I am singing it's my turn to sing at this party / Everyone is dancing, happy party / But Ramses is not dancing he does not dance at the parties / Ramses' number one he knows the secret of desire / Ramses is the one, he puts the people all on fire. Nacho: It sucks to be me right now! Esqueleto: How come? Nacho: How come you think? I used to really like Ramses. I wanted to become him! But it turns out, he's a real douche. Nacho: I'm not listening to you! You only believe in Science. That's probably why we never win! Esqueleto: We never win because you are fat! Chancho: Nacho! Where are you going? Nacho: There is no place for me in this world. I don't belong out there, and I don't belong in here. So I'm going out into the Wilderness. Probably, to die. Chancho: Well, you might need this [Gives Nacho the sword] Chancho: My mother gave it to me before she died. It was her lucky machete. You can have it. Nacho: I hope to see you again little Chancho. Maybe in the next life. [Departs] Nacho: Precious Father, why have you given me this desire to wrestle and then made me such a stinky warrior? Sister Encarnación: Where are your robes, Ignacio? Nacho: They were... stinky. These are my recreational clothes. Sister Encarnación: They look expensive. Nacho: Thank you. I mean... they might have the appearance of riches, but beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man we find... his... nucleus. Sister Encarnación: Nucleus? Nacho: See that guy over there? That is Senior Ramon, he owns all the big arenas. We need to show him that we mean business. That we are ready for the 'big leagues'. Nacho: Do you remember when everyone was shouting my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse. Esqueleto: Yea, and I saw them knock you unconscious, ok? Nacho: These are my recreation clothes. Sister Encarnación: They look expensive. Nacho: Thank you. Juan Pablo: How come we can't ever have just like a salad? Nacho: Be grateful, Juan Pablo, today is especially delicious. [takes a bite of the beans and chokes, it comes out of his nose] Nacho: [singing] I ate some bugs, I ate some grass, I used my hand, to wipe my tears. Nacho: Hey, let go my blouse. Esqueleto: I hate orphans! Nacho: Say it to my face! Esqueleto: I hate them! Nacho: Come again? Esqueleto: I hate all the orphans in the WHOLE WORLD! Nacho: Have you ever have you ever had feelings for a nun? Nacho: Your hands! They are greasy! Nacho: [signing letter to Sister Encarnacion] Hug hug, kiss kiss, hug hug, big kiss, little hug, kiss kiss, little kiss. Nacho: Chancho! I need to borrow some sweats. Chancho: Are you leaving us? Nacho: No, Chancho, I would never leave you. I just need to borrow some sweats. Esqueleto: How did you get up here so fast? Candidia: Shh, shh, shhhh... secret tunnels Nacho: Hey. Leggo my blouse. Nacho: Beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man, we find his... nucleus. Nacho: Those guys were a couple of wussies, eh? Esqueleto: They scalped my hairs, okay? I look hideous. And you gave them permission to hurt me like this. Nacho: But I couldn't have anybody see my face, Steven. Come on! [last lines] Nacho: YES! Orphans: Yay! Nacho: [to Encarnacion] Yes. Sister Encarnación: Ignacio, I have been looking all over for you, where have you been? Nacho: I have been here. I have been sleeping. Sister Encarnación: In a frilly shirt and slacks? Nacho: They are my PJ's Nacho: And over there in the tree, is a chipmunk nest. And that right there, is our corn, best in the city, it's delcious. And that is a crazy lady. So now you pretty much know what I do. Pretty dang exciting, huh? Juan Pablo: Hey, it's Ramses. He's the best. Chancho: No he's not. Juan Pablo: Can I have his autograph? Please? Nacho: Okay, I'll see what I can do. Nacho: Uh, Ramses. I was wondering if the children could have a signiture or a picture or something? Nacho: Listen, the children are orphans, they really love you. You are the best. Nacho: [to Sister Encarnación] I don't like the way those guys just looked at you. Nacho: [to innocent passers-by] HEY! Can't you see this woman is a nun? Señor Ramon: Orphans, smile and be happy. For God has blessed us with a new teacher. She hails from the Oaxaca Parish Convent of the Immaculate Hearts Sisters Ladies Mountains of Guadalupe. Sister Encarnacion. Sister Encarnación: Thank you Brother. Esqueleto: [to Ramses] I think me and my friend are ready to go pro! Nacho: [after lifting Esqueleto over the wall at Ramses party] What about me? Esqueleto: I don't think I can lift you. You are too fat. Nacho: So anyways, let's get down to the nitty gritty... Who is this Encarnación? Emperor: In order for you to become empowered by the eagle, you must climb that cliff, find the egg, crack open one of them, and then eat the yolk. Nacho: So, what you're saying to me is if I can eat this yolk, my moves will become the best in the whole world. Emperor: Definitely. Nacho: [holds hand up] High Five. Nacho: How did you find me in the wilderness? Esqueleto: I saw you from the village. Chancho: I think your food is good. Sister Encarnación: You went to watch a wrestling match? Nacho: [after a pause] Kind of. Sister Encarnación: You are a man of the clothe. Lucha Libre, it's a sin. Nacho: But, why? Sister Encarnación: Because those men fight for vanity, for money, for false pride. Nacho: Yes it's terrible, terrible. But is it always a sin to fight? Sister Encarnación: No. If you fight for something noble, or for someone who needs your help, only then will God bless you in battle. Nacho: I have given up wrestling. Esqueleto: Nacho, you are great fighter. You've got something none of these guys have. [Esqueleto points to his own heart] And she does need that real hero. Nacho: I thought you hated all the orphans in the whole world. Esqueleto: Not anymore. I like them. And they need you Nacho. [Nacho nods and Esquelto takes out Nacho's fighting mask] Nacho: [nods confidently] OK. |
