One seriously cool Mexican

[shortbow]

Saw "Viva Zapata" last nite with Marlon Brando. First time I'd seen it and I'm wondering how I missed this one. Great flick, my favorite Brando role, probably my favorite Oater until Tombstone and Dances. If you haven't seen it, you'll really dig it.

Sorry, Brando is cool and all but he can't hold a glass devotional candle to Machete.
Now that's a cool Mexican!

Viva Zapata

Hard to lose with a screenplay written by Steinbeck. It's a classic.

I thought you were going to say Anthony Quinn....

How about Eli Wallach, who is also not really Mexican either but Jewishlol , but played the role IMHO to a t.
"Hey Blondie", the scene where he goes into the gun shop and builds his own pistola is awesome.

+1 the best ever...Hollywood's greatest actor for ethnic parts.

tony baby

Quinn was a dude for sure, but the most unbelievable thing he ever got involved in was THE 25th HOUR, playing a Romanian mistaken for an Aryan.....ridiculous ethnic casting.

Yes indeed! I have lost track of how many times I've seen that film, but I'm a Sergio Leone and spaghetti western aficionado. I personally rank The Good, the Bad and the Ugly below The Godfather when it comes to the best.

On a side note, I'll have to see that Marlon Brando film...

Charles Bronson, even though American, often played Mexicans or half Indians because of his looks.

Yul Brynner does well playing a Mexican ...


I too very much enjoy western movies, favourites being: 'My name is nobody' and 'Once upon a time in the west' (both of which have also excellent music by Moriconne)

I know about both, but My Name is Nobody is actually pretty obscure, so I'm glad to see another appreciates it. Wasn't this Henry Fonda's last western?

I would not know this for certain.

It is indeed a slightly obscure movie, although quite humourus, but maybe that is why it isn't so well known.

As I have grown up on the continent, I am very used to seeing Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer western comedies, which are usually terribly silly.

I almost forgot...

Emanuel from the film 'Candy'!

Heston, yes. I can't think of anybody better to have played that part despite his not being Mexican. lol
