Simultaneous Spanish-language version?

[edit]

Am I correct in thinking that a Spanish-language version of this was filmed with the same cast at the same time? I recall that it was felt that, given the subject matter, there would be a market for the movie in Spanish-speaking territories which would be better served by not being given a dubbed version, but I don’t have any evidence for this, and could be mis-remembering.

First time I hear of it, as far as I know. But the LA Times says there was such a version: [1]. They write very little about it: that it was released in summer 1987 by Columbia, was exhibited in Spanish-language theaters in the US, and it grossed $2.6, considered a very good take. There's nothing about the casting, though. SamEV (talk) 21:24, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the movie in South America when it was released there and I also had the impression (or I was told) that it was filmed in Spanish. Particularly, I was struck by the fact that there were some Spanish-language idioms/profanities that at that time were traditionally not present in our everyday Spanish-dubbed American movies. Later, I saw it in VHS but in English. As I remember there was a telltale scene in which Ritchie, during his Tijuana escapade with/abduction by his brother, encountered a Mexican-Indian shaman and the boy excused himself to the elder man: "Yo no speako Español". This scene was also present in the Spanish-language version, and Ritchie also seemed not to understand the shaman, but it was less clear why he didn't. So I assumed that the Spanish version is a dubbed version of the same footage, dubbed or not by the same cast. As I have never heard Lou Diamond Phillips speak Spanish, I don't know if his command of it is as perfect as his character's in that Spanish-speaking version of La Bamba.
