El muerto al hoyo... y el vivo también (1990)

crassslapstickdated

Overview

Wacky hijinks in a brothel. Union officials misappropriating funds, a customer dying in bed, some foxy grandpas cutting up on a visit to the big city... it's all hilarious. Or not.

Acting

Pedro Weber commits fully to every humiliating gag

Practical Effects

The dead body prop deserves its own credit line

Best for:Background: 90 minutes of chaotic noise while doing literally anything else·Friends: Drunk viewing with friends who love bad movies ironically·Rewatch: Never, unless you're writing a thesis on 90s Mexican sex comedies
Heads up:Sexual Content: Non-stop brothel setting with crude sexual humor throughout·Language: Mexican slang that aged like milk left in a car

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Mexico's 'sexicomedias' boom—low-budget raunch flicks that dominated video store shelves in the 80s-90s.

Memorable

Luis Aguilar, once a golden age cinema legend, ended his career in these films. Talk about a fall from grace.
