Polvo De Luz (1989)
It is a story of mortality in the styles of Ingmar Bergman or Andre Tarkovsky. Something like that, I guess.

His artist wife is to accompany him there and also be a part of the film he’s making which will mostly consist of his surroundings and ultimately his demise as well. As the days go by, the filmma

El Arma Secreta (1992)
Sergio Goyri just worked on anything back in the 1990’s and when I say anything , I literally mean anything . If he wasn’t fighting in a post-apocalyptic future like in Comando De La Muerte & Reten , then he was shooting someone with a custom gun in rural Mexico like in Arma Infernal , or he was mythical-looking dude fighting a demon like in Trono Del Infierno . Sergio Goyri’s filmography is quite unique and it even gets more unique when he you see that he made an action-cri

Amanecer Sangriento (1992)
Ernesto (credited as “Sergio Goiry”) is a fucking dick. Why? For starters, he’s pretty bad with his wife Angelica (Gilda Garibay) & their two daughters since he lags it as a provider despite having the income to do so. Ahh, but I must mention that his source of income is in drug dealing and most of the money he makes ends up going to his mistress who’s totally not a great person either. Angelica’s parents are wealthy and are not fans of Ernesto at all, thus they try to help

Placer y Muerte (1996)
Remember that horror-thriller Angeles De La Muerte starring Patricia Rivera & Diana Ferreti?

One of them being Sergio Goyri. Weird, huh? Two brothers "Raymundo" (Sergio Goyri) & "Hilario" (Jose Luis Becerra) prowl the streets at night looking for loose women to kill as an act of revenge for the

Crack: Vicio Mortal (1991)
Crack: Vicio Mortal is about the dangers of the notorious drug " crack cocaine" and it all takes place in the ghetto (Galveston, TX to be exact) and they make sure you know this by filming the opening credits in all-black neighborhood where things supposedly appear to be rough, but really everyone around the neighborhood is just chilling. This all goes on while Too Short’s “The Ghetto” plays. Let me be frank though, this opening credit scene was truly done in poor taste

In Yo No La Mate (translated as “I Didn’t Kill Her”) , Mexican actor/all-around freak Sergio Goyri plays a guy that is falsely accused of murder. Did he really do it though?
