Just after Calzonzin leaves town and the local officials are celebrating, the real government inspector arrives

 CENSORED!!!! September 27, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was disappointed with the "Calzonzin Inspector" DVD. It is shorter than the original and, in some point, you miss the pace of the original film that ironicaly, was also projected in open mexican television with minor cuts.If you want the ORIGINAL "Calzonzin Inspector", don't waste your money until the FULL version appears. In the other side, the image quality is excelent, but I have the feeling that also the actual audio was censored.
 30 minutes shorter than the original August 10, 2003

Although this is one of the funniest movies depicting government corruption in Mexico (so accurately in fact that its release was limited and it remained coomercially unavailable until today) this DVD is release is missing many scenes, which is unfortunate. I sincerely hope they release the full 2 hours.

Calzonzin has been my favorite ever since I first went to Mexico as a teenager and discovered the Supermachos comics by "Rius." He has suffered much censorship throughout the years because of his satirical, biting, and true political commentary. Alfonso Arau has done a magnificent job of casting actors that look exactly like the original comic book characters...amazing. If you knew the comics, you'll enjoy this hysterically funny movie even more. I recommend the movie to everyone, it's even safe for kids, with a sometimes slapstick-type humor mixed with sophisticated political commentary you'll catch if familiar with Mexican politics and culture. I've been trying to find a copy to buy for nearly 10 years!
My all-time favorite!
