Trivia
Prominent Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas (who wrote the film's score) makes a brief appearance as a piano player in a bar. He places a sign over the piano which reads "Se suplica no tirarle al pianista" ("We beg you not to shoot at the piano player").

Alternate versions
On August 21, 1982, Mexican TV Channel 13 aired a version that featured a previously unreleased ending. It's not clear if this ending (Pancho Villa's murdering Tiburcio Maya and taking his son to the Revolution) was censored by the government or it was cut by De Fuentes himself in order to give the film a different pace. The original ending shows Tiburcio Maya defecting Pancho Villa's army after burning the corpse of "Becerrillo".

Officially, Mexico's best movie ever made.

Vamonos con Pancho Villa is officially considered as the best movie ever made in Mexico. I personally do not agree to it but these are the facts from the Mexican Cinematography Industry Council. Revolutions, or any war for that manner are never nice happenings. Revolutions/wars imply the fact that many suffer to achieve an ultimate goal of a better life for all involved. In this movie that is exactly what goes on. A group of peasants, tired of the way they are treated by a few powerful owners of the wealth in Mexico, decide to get up in arms against them. There are 2 major leaders of this Revolution that started in 1910. Emiliano Zapata in the South, and Pancho Villa in the North. This movie tells the story, one of hundreds that have been told, about a group of peasants that join Villa's army. The crude scenes that are seen in the movie are just a pale reflection of what happened in those times. The movie, with all the technical limitations of the times(1935)is a magnificent work of art.
