Fun , hilarious and surrealist comedy by the famous and popular Spanish duo , Chiquito De La Calzada and Bigote Arrocet . Rightly enjoyable but middling and fun-filled , milestone comedy which neatly combines humor , mirth , entertaining events and mayhem . The picture contains an unstopped string of gags each thirty seconds and silly jokes from the start to the ending with some lively touches . It deals with two drifters (Chiquito De La Calzada , Bigote Arrocet) meet a lost (Naim Thomas) boy who is looking for his dad . All of them join forces , then , the trio sets out in search for his father and scheme the discovery a golden mine called ¨El Dorado De Manitu¨ . Along the way the bad guys (Maria Jose Nat , Aldo Sambrell) of the band commanded by El Tuerto (Julio Tejela) encounter the peculiar trio and bury them , being stalked by hungry vultures .
This is a slightly funny film with entertaining as well as bewildering events , giggles , craziness , twists and lots and fun . In ¨Condemor there are pursuits , Indian attacks , Buffalo stampedes , crossfire , saloon brawls , cutthroats gunslingers and many others things . This bemusing movie is packed with tongue-in-cheek , slapdash and slapstick , a steady stream of gags , lively situations abound , sheer belly laughs , crazy humor , too much fun and to be perfect for the kiddies and adolescents .The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with some moments frankly hilarious and others ridiculous and embarrassing . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some embarrassing and picaresque situations . As the silly vicissitudes of the starring are so repetitive and the most part results to be rich in absurdities and implausibilities . Filmmaker Alvaro Saenz Heredia often uses disconcerting and surrealist situations to give us a passable movie plenty of funny happenings , absurd incidents and many other things ; and that , at least , kept me entertained for the almost half an hour of duration . The comedy and humor are interminable for that reason the viewers will laugh uncontrollably with the habitual quirky and lunatic characters . Amusing screenplay by Alvarez Saenz De Heredia , he usually writes his films . Duo protagonist is fun : Chiquito De La Calzada and Bigote Arrocet , both of them get sympathetic performances , though they give exaggerated interpretations . Although Chiquito De La Calzada steals the show with his known sentences ¨Hasta Luego Lucas¨, ¨Te Das Cuen¨, among others . Support cast is pretty well , including familiar faces , such as Maria Jose Nat as a beautiful bandit , Jose Yepes and Fabian Conde . Special mention for the illustrious secondary Aldo Sambrell who starred lots of Spaghetti/Paella Westerns . Aldo appeared in his first spaghetti western in 1963 . Sambrell was perhaps best known for his gritty portrayals of scruffy bandit gang members in Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti westerns For a fistful of dollars (1964), For a fistful of dollars more (1965), The Good , The Bad , and the Ugly (1966) . (1973). Sambrell gave a memorably chilling performance as ruthless bandit gang leader Mervyn Duncan in Navajo Joe (1966). He had a rare lead role as voodoo priest Gatenebo in the laughably lousy horror clunker Bloody voodoo (1974) and he played all kinds of genres .
The motion picture was regularly directed by Álvaro Sáenz De Heredia and it achieved big success at Spanish box office . Heredia directed various vehicles for popular comedians as Chiquito De La Calzada , Bigote Arrocet : ¨Condemor¨ , followed by ¨Bracula¨, ¨Papa Piquillo¨ ; Emilio Aragon : ¨Policia¨ , ¨Freddy , El Crupier¨ ; Andres Pajares : ¨Hoz Y El Martínez¨ ; Javier Gurruchaga : ¨R2 Caso Cadaver Sin Cabeza¨ ; and Martes Y Trece : ¨Aqui Huele a Muerto¨ , ¨El Robo De La Joyoya¨ . Alvaro is an specialist on comedies , as he has proved in : 2010 Venganza Ira Vamp , 2005 R2 Caso Cadaver Sin Cabeza , 2002 Esta Noche no , 2001 Corazón De Bombón , 1998 Pápa Piquillo , 1997 Brácula Condemor II , 1996 Aquí Llega Condemor, El Pecador De Pradera , 1994 Una Chica Entre Un Millón , 1992 Chechu y Familia . This raucous Western spoof is a Chiquito De La Calzada vehicle , if you like his crazy, maniac performances , you'll enjoy this one

I see this movie with a couple of friends and you maybe can laugh about it
I repeat maybe
It´s one of the worst movies ever done in all the spanish history
you can´t say that it´s a comedy cause it isn´t, is a fistro de pelicula.

If you want to watch the same joke during 1 hour and a half, this is your movie. The worst visual effects I ever seen, and the worst actors. Don't lose the eclipse, and the buffalos, they are pretty. Chiquito de la Calzada is the new hero of the world
With this his debut in the big screen Chiquito-San (like he likes to be called by his fellow citizens as showed in many interviews with reporters such as Peticano Gramore and Notedi Gotrigo), blow us away with a performance never seen before in Spanish cinematography. Or anywhere else. In Barbate, perhaps.
Set in a very realistic Wild West full of Hombre Malo de la Pradera, we will be amazed with its delightful special effects, from the well known Spanish artist Grijano Candenauer. Pay particular attention to the thrilling run for their lives when the buffaloes attack, it couldn't be more realistic. This scene also delivers one of the most exquisite sentences ever spoken in Cervantes' language (translated here): -"Senior Conde, don't let them smell your fear". -"That's going to be difficult Lucas, I did caquitaaarl!". What a mastery of the languaje, Cervantes himself would be proud and amused at such intelligent and high use of his Castellano.
It's a pity that people from other countries cannot fully enjoy this movie without a completely and deep knowledge of the Spanish vocabulary and grammar, especially from the jargon known as "Chiquitistani de los Dolores", for it is necessary to have the highest wisdom of all its idiomatic features and tricks to be able to fully comprehend the incredible experience that Chiquito de la Calzada Gromenauer treats his fans with.
Like he would say himself: "E candemore nain, quietorl, cobarde!".

The subtle humor and delicate jokes scattered along the whole film are completed by the sublime performance of both Chiquito and Bigote Arrocet, very well known is Spain for his priceless appearances in "Un, dos tres" along with the beautiful "La Bombi" and incomparable "Duo Sacapuntas"...
The special effects resemble to those used by George Lucas Grijander in his worldwide famous Star Wars series....
This poetic masterpiece is to be shown to future generations so that they learn the true meaning of life...

After watching films like "Speed 2" and "Lost Highway" I conclude this is a very good film. If you don´t understand the intelligent humor perhaps all you need is reading books. One at least..
