Trivia

"Chancho" is Mexican slang for pig, Esqueleto translates as skeleton. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Nacho and Esqueleto are presented for the public in the first fight, the host says in Spanish: "esQUEleto", with "stress" over QUE, but in Spanish the word is pronounced "esque LE to", the tonic is the LE, not QUE. See more »

Quotes

Nacho: Beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man, we find his... nucleus.
