Trash-Mex Tapes 4: Vengeance! But on a budget…
In the 4th edition of Trash-Mex Tapes, I chose 4 action-revenge titles because they’re from the glorious 1990’s & all 4 were videohomes of course. Videohomes are a type of film that you have to be open-minded of because often they were made on the fly & with little to no money. However, plenty of them were made with a lot of effort and it usually shows by actually being a great film or at least decent. I can also say that several videohomes were pieces of shit with no effort

Waco Texas: Apocalipsis (1993)
Sometimes filmmakers want to portray a real-life event accurately and not make so many changes & such. The filmmakers want the audience to see what really happened in this particular event & make them feel like they’re right in front of it all happening. In the case of Waco Texas: Apocalipsis, that isn’t the case at all since it’s not very accurate & full of wild/twisted exaggerations that’ll make you laugh and head scratch. Even the other movie didn’t portray the Waco Siege

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

Placer y Muerte (1996)
Remember that horror-thriller Angeles De La Muerte starring Patricia Rivera & Diana Ferreti? Well 3 years after its release it got a really random videohome remake and instead of 2 lovely & crazy ladies with switchblades, it is now 2 dudes with 1 big knife and timid acting. 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
