Western movies where the main character is a Mexican

Hi!

I would like to know if there are Movies that have a mexican as the main character, not necessary a mexican actor, but a mexican character.

I would appreciate help since it is for a school project.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

In many of the Zapata westerns you have a Mexican and a gringo as main charcters, and it’s hard to point out who is the main charachter: A Bullet for the General, Run Man Run, Companeros and others.

Perhaps surprisingly, I think a good case could be made for Once Upon A Time in the West.

Thank you sir.

Was thinking Spanish, but given that film I suppose he could be an alien, and I don’t mean illegal.

I think Django: The Last Killer has George Eastman as a Mexican main character if memory serves.
