== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Film)|The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'' would give us our page quote, if we needed one.
* ''[[¡Three Amigos! (Film)|Three Amigos]]''
* In the Disney film ''[[The Apple Dumpling Gang]]'', there was a single bandito among the otherwise homogenous-white bad guys.
* Calvera and his band of outlaws in ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]''.
* The bandits in ''[[Django]]''.
* Several Banditos are part of Hedley Lamarr's army in ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''.
* ''[[Butch Cassidy and Thethe Sundance Kid]]'' had Mexican banditos in Bolivia (reportedly, you can tell by the accents).
* Cheyenne in ''[[Once Upon a Time Inin Thethe West]]'' is a particularly sympathetic example.
* And speaking of [[Sergio Leone]] films, why hasn't anyone mentioned [[The Good, the Bad Andand Thethe Ugly|Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez]] yet?
** Juan Miranda and his band of outlaws from Leone's ''[[A Fistful of Dynamite|A Fistful Of Dynamite]]'' are also worth a mention.
** El Indio of ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' takes the sterotypical bandito [[Up to Eleven]]. A drug-addicted [[Large Ham]] who stalks women, murders families, rigs duels, and takes trophies from his victims, he spends most of the film in an oppium-induced haze, while plotting to use [[Anti-Hero|Monco]] and [[Best Served Cold|Colonel Mortimer]] to do his dirty work, wiping out his gang and leaving all the money from his robberies for him.
** The Rojo brothers of ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]'' are banditos-turned-bootleggers, who sell alcohol on both sides of the border, and have an ugly rivalry with the Baxters, a family of white-collar American gunrunners. While two of the brothers are absolutely stereotypical, Ramon subverts it somewhat by being totally evil, but [[Evil Genius|very bright]].
* ''[[The Wild Bunch]]'' has examples of both. On the villain side, we have Mapache, the primary villain and his army of bandits. On the (anti-)heroic side, we have Angel, one of the Bunch.
* Revolutionary banditos make up one of the bad guy groups in the movie ''[[The Professionals (Filmfilm)|The Professionals]]''.
* Tomas Milian played this type (usually the sympathetic version) in a lot of spaghettis.
* The [[Eastern European Animation|Hungarian]] animated film ''[[Cat City]]'' has a gang of vampire bat banditos.
Line 41:
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Ben Snow]] fights to protect the eponymous cross from the bandito Zanja {{spoiler|who turns out to be a gringo}} and his gang in "The Trail of the Golden Cross".
* Banditos feature in several of [[JTJ. T. Edson]]'s novels. They play an especially prominent role in ''The Quest for Bowie's Blade''.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 51:
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* El Toro and his bandit gang from the ''[[Modesty Blaise (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Modesty Blaise]]'' arc "A Few Flowers for the Colonel" are modern day banditos.
 
== [[Radio]] ==
Line 58:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Sanchez in the ''[[Desperados]]'' video games is a (deliberately) stereotypical bandito character.
* ''[[Bio ShockBioshock]]'' has ammo vending machines with a cartoon/period picture of a bandito's masked face, which spouts recorded messages with an outrageously thick accent. "¡[[Gratuitous Spanish|Bienvenidos al Ammo Bandito]]!"
* ''[[Outlaws (1997 video game)]]'': has "Spittin'" Jack Sánchez.
* Part of ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'' takes place in Mexico, where the protagonist contends with both banditos and revolutionaries.
** There were few of them in ''[[Red Dead Revolver]]'' too.
* Renegados, Pistoleros and Comancheros appear as mercenaries and treasure guardians in ''[[Age of Empires III (Video Game)|Age of Empires III]]''.
* [[Big Bad|Juarez]]'s gang (including himself) in the first two ''[[Call of Juarez]]'' games.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Gordito is a heroic variant of this (mixed in with [[Sidekick]]) in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''.
** Gordito's uncle Pedro would be a straighter example of this, except Pedro uses a [[Rule of Cool|velociraptor]] as his [[Horse of a Different Color|steed]].
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Some of the [[Quick- Draw McGraw]] villains were sillier versions of this.
* Salty Mike becomes a bandito in the ''[[Squirrel Boy]]'' episode "Gumfight at the S'Okay Corral".
* Yosemite Sam appears as bandito 'Pancho Vanilla' in the [[Looney Tunes]] short "Pancho's Hideaway".
