Nacho Libre: Difference between revisions

''Nacho Libre'' is a 2006 comedy movie starring [[Jack Black]] [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story|loosely based on the true story]] of Fray Tormenta, a Mexican priest who secretly fought as a masked wrestler to support his orphanage (Tormenta himself was [[Life Imitates Art|inspired to do this by wrestling movies]].)

 

The movie features Black as Brother Ignacio, a monk who cooks at a poor children's orphanage. Having always dreamed of being a wrestler (and wanting to gain money to help feed the orphans) Ignacio assumes the [[Secret Identity]] of the luchador Nacho, teamed up with a skinny man named Steve who goes by the stage name of Esqueleto (Skeleton).

* [[Bash Brothers]]: A luchador team that takes on Nacho and Esqueleto.

* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: The main characters speak stilted English as if to remind us that they're actually speaking Spanish.
