Talk:Nacho Libre

message: So, which is it? From what little spanish I know, I think it should actually be "Frei" Tormenta - "frei", if I'm not mistaken, is "friar" in spanish (and portuguese too, incidentally).

thread_title:  Marketing? 

message: I've removed what sounds too much like a rant:
The movie was offensive among Catholic Christians due to how the Church is depicted. The United States Confrence of Catholic Bishops has deemed the movie morally offensive. In the movie it shows a bad example of disobeying and ignoring your elders. It shows disrespect towards priests and nuns. It shows the young pretty nun in the Friar's room at night which would be showing disrespect to their vows of celibacy. It depicts the friars as stupid, dumb animals. Which the Catholic Church obviously would take this as offensive to their faith.
I'm not entirely sure about the factual accuracy of the passage in question, but sounds like a rant to me. If it's bona fide factual info, may the person who added it use a more neutral tone, as he sounds downright pissed off. -- Voievod 20:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Translation 

message: In México, the film was dubbed in spanish. All copies provided from Paramount pictures were dubbed! This maybe will not be relevant, but as a usual practice in México, the movies are not showed with dubbed audio. The movies are subtitled or in the case of children movies, the viewer can chose a cinema with a dubbed version or another subtitled. 
Some clerk of the cinema where i see the movie, told me about the decision of the staff of Paramount pictures in México to show the picture in spanish because the film was shot in México (in Oaxaca, a estate in the south of the conutry). I don`t know if this will be true, but the fact is that the dub sucks and rest quality to the movie. Ok, i am mexican, i speak spanish, but i don`t like the movies dubbed because i don´t know if the dialogue are faithfully accurate with the original score or are a adapted to be more like the mexican comic humor.
Despite this, the movie are very funny and of course, are accurate with the ambient and the people of Oaxaca in the early 70's. This is important, because the film does not fall in the cliche or the stupid distortioned view from most of the hollywood films that even in our days, think that south of the border, the mexican still are sat down at the side of the cactus sleeping whit a big hat.

message: Can someone find a citation for the claim that Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler refused to star in this movie?  This sounds a bit unlikely to me as based on comments on the film's website Jack Black was the intended star from the beginning.

message: I don't think the first part of the plot, where it says information about Ignacio's parents are necessary because first of all, the movie didn't begin with a scene about his parents. Second, Ignacio told about his parents' story to the nun at around the 1st quarter of the movie.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Husdaman13 (talk • contribs) 14:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  619/Tiger Feint Kick 

message: There are several religious connections to the story in Nacho Libre.
The name Ignacio comes from the word "fire" and is also related to the spanish word "naciomento" (spelling?) meaning birth and the word "initiation". Another meaning to the title of Nacho Libre could then be "Freedom through the initiation, or birth (re-birth), of fire".
The name Encarnacion of course means incarnation and the sister in the movie symbolically represents the Divine Mother, or Virgin Mary.
The name Steven, or Stephan, is the name of the first Christian martyr in the New Testament who was killed for his faith in Christ.
The Pharisees are represented by the other monks in the monastery that Nacho must go against. 
Ramses of course represents the Egyptian story similiar to the story of Moses. Ramses is the devil that Nacho must defeat.
Nacho receives the power of the holy spirit throught the "eagle power" (dove) and thus is able to defeat the "devil" Ramses. The "false god" that Encarnacion calls him.
Nacho "baptizes" Steven with water in one scene. 
Other connections also such as when Nacho must go to the "desert" with the "lucky machete". The desert symbolically the same one Jesus went into. The lucky machete symbolically representing the "sword" that Jesus says he brought.
There are probably others as well.

message: The Film Goofs section of the article is very poorly written, and in my opinion, completely irrelevant (a 'list of miscellaneous information'). I think a complete re-write is required, if not outright deletion.--Toepoaster (talk) 14:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I know it's just been mentioned, but just curious, does Wikipedia allow Goof sections for movies? I thought that was exclusively for web sites such as imdb.com.

message: Is it just me, or did I see Kyle MacLachlan of Twin Peaks and Dune fame in Nacho Libre? If I am correct, he very briefly cameoed as the monk that shuts young Ignacio in the kitchen very early in the film. It had to have been in the first 3 minutes of the film, and I only noticed him because I had just watched some Twin Peaks. I need closure on this subject, as it has been driving me nuts for days. I just stare at his face, as it is only in frame for about five seconds, and I think "That is Kyle MacLachlan and why doesn't anyone notice this?!?" Please, someone concur with me as I do not think I could get in touch with Jared Hess, the director, or MacLachlan himself.
Thank You,
