About El Macho Biónico
A well-known playboy (Andrés García), and his gay assistant (Roberto 'Flaco' Guzmán), are victims of a plane accident when their private jet crashes. In the accident, the millionaire suffers the mutilation of his penis, forcing him to travel to the United States and invest his fortune in a technological reconstruction of his male organ, thus becoming the first Bionic Male of Mexico.
Directed by Rodolfo de Anda, El Macho Biónico leans on a strong ensemble — Andrés García, Isela Vega, Roberto 'El Flaco' Guzmán — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
