Let's Go with Pancho Villa (Spanish: Vámonos con Pancho Villa) is a Mexican motion picture directed by Fernando de Fuentes in 1936, the last of the director's Revolution Trilogy, besides El prisionero trece and El compadre Mendoza.
An anti-epic based on a novel, it focuses on the cruelty of the Mexican Revolution and of the Mexican revolutionary and general Pancho Villa himself, contrary to most of the Mexican movies about this national hero.
The movie is thought to have been the first Mexican super-production and led to the bankruptcy of the film company that made it.
