Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film primarily functions as a stylized action-thriller focused on individual revenge and a chaotic criminal underworld, rather than promoting a specific political ideology. While it touches on themes of corruption and cynical foreign intervention, these are presented without a clear ideological stance or systemic critique, leading to a neutral rating.

The movie features a diverse cast that authentically reflects its Mexican setting, rather than intentionally recasting traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. Its narrative primarily focuses on action and political intrigue, without explicitly critiquing or centering on traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The film 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely centered on heterosexual relationships and the broader plot of crime, revenge, and political intrigue, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The film "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity.

The film features female characters who participate in action sequences, primarily Carolina. However, her combat victories are achieved through the use of firearms. There are no clear instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or with melee weapons.

This film is a direct sequel within its own established continuity. All returning characters maintain their previously established gender, and new characters do not represent gender-swapped versions of pre-existing figures from other source material.

This film is an original story within an established film series. The returning main character, El Mariachi, is consistently portrayed by Hispanic actors. All other significant characters are new to this installment and thus do not have a prior canonical race to be swapped from.
