	Movies - Cisco Kid

The Cisco Kid is a fictional cowboy character created by author O. Henry in his short story "The Caballero's Way" published in 1907 in the short story collection Heart of the West. Movies and the television series made the Kid a heroic Mexican caballero but in the original story he was a non-Hispanic character and a cruel outlaw who was probably modelled on Billy the Kid.

Numerous films were made featuring the Cisco Kid as well as a television series that ran from 1950 to 1956. The TV series was notable for being one of the first filmed in color. With the exception of Jimmy Smits, who portrayed the Cisco Kid in a one-time 1994 made-for-television film, all the actors played the role in a number of films and Duncan Renaldo did it in film and on the television series.

Actors who have portrayed the Cisco Kid character:

The Cisco Kid had a sidekick in film, the first was 'Gordito' ("Fatty") portrayed by Chris-Pin Martin then 'Pancho', played by Martin Garralaga and later by Leo Carrillo. For the 1994 TV film, the role of 'Pancho' was played by Cheech Marin.

Catch phrase

The episodes of the TV series (as well as the 1994 movie) always ended with one or the other of them making a corny joke about the adventure they had just completed, and they would laugh at each other, "Oh, Pancho!" "Oh, Cisco!" before galloping off into the sunset as the dramatic Spanish-styled western theme tune would play over the credits.

"The Cisco Kid" is also a song by the musical group War (band),and Sublime released in 1972 off of the album The World is A Ghetto: :Cisco Kid was a friend of mine / He drank whiskey, Pancho'd drink the wine
