Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn screen, Scott Adkins character kills roughly 65 people during this movie.
- GoofsWhen Flaca steals the satchel containing the $2 million and is chased by The Man, she runs as if the bag is virtually empty. In fact, $2 million in 100s (at 497 US bills to the pound) weighs over 40 pounds, and the heavy satchel (about 1/3 of her estimated weight) would have slowed her down considerably. The weight of the bag would also have likely drawn the interest of the thugs who throw it at him (again, as if it weighs about 5 pounds).
- Crazy creditsDuring the credits "The man" & "Anna" are seen talking about margaritas.

Featured review
The most interesting thing about EL GRINGO is that it was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria which successfully stands in for Mexico. I would have thought the two countries couldn't be further apart but they do a pretty convincing job here. A shame, then, that the film itself is so pedestrian, with a lack of story really slowing things down. Some shaky, bleached-out cinematography doesn't help much either. Scott Adkins plays the usual drifter type who arrives in a corrupt town and soon finds himself battling a criminal gang. There's a fair bit of action, some of which is quite good, but it never really burns up the screen as a good action movie should. If you want to see a great Adkins movie from this era, check out UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING.
