Silver King, 
who played Ramses, is a legit luchador. Sadly, he died during a tour of England.

El Snowflake is played by independent legend, The Human Tornado.

Mascarita Dorada was one of the little bulls Los Duendes. He played El Torito in WWE.

Troy Gentile also played young Jack Black in Pick of Destiny.

Jack Black approached Jared Hess about the film. He was hesitant to play Ignacio, but Hess assured him he was a gringo raised in Mexico.

Danny Elfman replaced Beck as the composer on the film, however Beck's score still features in the film. Danny Elfman wished to be solely credited for the music but the two reached an agreement to be credited.

Mike White’s idea for a sequel was to send Nacho to Japan.
