* FoeRomanceSubtext/ HomoeroticSubtext: A dark and violent example between Tate and Chuncho. Both of them favour guns and money over women; Chuncho completely ignores his human prize once he hears news of a machine gun, which is foreign, like Tate. Film scholar Alex Cox describes the film as being a love affair between Tate and Chuncho.

In the edited parts it was stated or implied that Tate wanted to hurt Chuncho. It is very likely an incorrect assumption. If anything, Tate tries to save Chuncho and then to give him his share of the reward that Tate got for killing the general, implying that Tate did have some sort of friendship/gratitude emotions toward Chuncho. It's just that, as the final part states quite clearly (Tate asking: "Why?" when Chuncho refuses his share and Chuncho replying: "Quien Sabe? (Who knows?)") we are in a case of evil cannot comprehend good. (Entry which I added as well). Moreover I reordered an entry.
