A tie between Jacob Vargas and Jay Hernandez

reply

I agree with Jacob Vargas for sure, but not Jay Hernandez.

I heard this movie is actually being remade is this true? If so does anybody know what the name of it is going to be?

reply

...Cheech Marin.

.... Tommy Chong.

The suggestions sound good, I'd say Hector Jiminez from Nacho Libre though. And a remake of this flick would be awesome, its subject is just so relevant today, why not?

reply

Carlos Mencia? You mean NED? He's mot even Mexican?? He's Honduran and German. It'd have to be George Lopez he may be chubby but hes funny and he knows how Latinos really are.

I don't think he's chubby anymore. Seems like he lost a lot of weight the last few years. I think Carlos would be perfect for the Rudy role and maybe his brother Joe on Mind Of Mencia could take on Paul Rodriguez part. My opinion of course.

reply

Why is everyone so fixated with Carlos Mencia's real name being Ned? It's not like he's the first celebrity to use a different name than their birth name. He's Honduran and Mexican so he would be right for the part.

Personally, I don't think the movie should be remade; it's perfect just how it is so no need to update it. I'm sick of Hollywood ruining a good movie just to make a few bucks.

reply

There can't be a remake to such a great movie. On the other hand, Cheech is writing a sequel.. how about that?

reply

For real? I can't wait for the release:)

reply

I think George Lopez would be perfect as Rudy in the remake.

reply

George Lopez makes me wanna gag.

That would be hard to say who they could have do the remake to be honest with you. If it is done then we shall find out who would do what role in this film.

I'm suprised that no one here has yet mentioned Kuno Becker.

reply

either jacob vargas or maybe a new Chicano comedian. If Freddy Soto was alive I think he would've fit the part.

Y ARRIBA LAS CHIVAS!!!

reply

No one should

it will strip away & ruin the feeling of cheech's presence of the movie
