The Treasure of Moctezuma

The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. It follows traditional masculine archetypes typical of the 1968 Lucha Libre action genre.

Men take the lead in the narrative through protagonists Santo and Jorge Rivero. Women play supporting roles, reinforcing traditional gender hierarchies and male-driven physical conflict.

The story centers Mexican protagonists as protectors of their own indigenous history. This counters colonialist clichés by positioning Mexican identity as the guardian of its own legacy.

The film celebrates national identity and patriotism. It emphasizes preserving cultural heritage rather than challenging Western institutions or promoting secular themes.

There is no portrayal of characters with visible or invisible disabilities having ability to act or central importance to the plot.
