The films were stitched together with original bilingual title cards and dramatic re-enactments of Villa’s assassination were added to the revised print. "The Revenge of Pancho Villa" provides stirring evidence of a vital Mexican American film presence during the 1910s-1930s. In 2009

Pancho Villa in popular culture


Pancho Villa was famous during the Revolution and has remained so, holding a fairly mythical reputation in Mexican consciousness, but not officially recognized in Mexico until long after his death. As the "Centaur from the North" he was considered a threat to property and order on both sides of the border, feared, and revered, as a modern Robin Hood. In Mariano Azuela's novel "The Underdogs", anti-federal soldiers talk about him as an archetype of an anti-authoritarian bandit: "Villa, indomitable lord

Soldiers who took part in the Villa campaign were awarded the Mexican Service Medal. The chase after Villa was a small military episode, but it had important long-term implications. It enabled Carranza to mobilize popular anger, strengthen his political position, and permanently escalate anti-American sentiment in Mexico. On the American side

In 1926, while on a treasure hunting expedition the retired soldier of fortune stopped in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua.

Boxcars marked "Servicio Sanitario" ("sanitary service") were re-purposed as surgical operating theaters and areas for recuperation, and staffed by up to 40 Mexican and U.S. physicians.

In response to the incident, General John J. Pershing led the United States Army into Mexico with the intention of capturing, or killing, General Villa.

Trouble between the United States and Pancho Villa increased in October 1915, when the United States government officially recognized Villa's rival, and former ally, Venustiano Carranza as head of the Mexican government. Additionally, the U.S. provided over 5,000 Villa’ foes, the Carrancista, transportation from Eagle Pass, Texas to Douglas, Arizona for them to fight at the Battle of Agua Prieta.

In 1920, Villa made an agreement with the Mexican government to retire from hostilities, following the ouster and death of Carranza, and was given a "hacienda" near Parral, Chihuahua, which he turned into a "military colony" for his former soldiers.
