Yes, indeedy. Hopefully you are familiar with the Mexican narcotraficante
flicks from which this was derived. Lower budget, lower production
values, better (?) genre flicks.

examples:
La Camioneta Gris
La Banda Del Carro Rojo
Los Narcotraficantes Satanicos ( a klassik!)
La Yerba Mala

usw.

mucho bang-bang y tambien chamacas bonitas! ajua!

(These make the Al Pacino redo of SCARFACE look like Bergman or
Antonioni)...
