We had been looking so forward to it, but the second season of the legendary series, Narcos is finally out! We thank Netflix again, for not only producing such a great show, but also releasing all episodes at the same time! All that's left for us to do is binge-watch the sh*t out of it!
Here are some facts about the show and Pablo Escobar that not many people know!
Caution: The content involves a small dosage of spoilers!
The Brazilian actor, whose mother tongue is Portuguese, learned Spanish for Narcos!
As it is also mentioned in the show, Escobar made around $70 million per week when business was 'good'.
'No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which isn't the same thing.'
The sentences here are exactly the same as the ones real-life Pablo Escobar said during a phone call.
...and he didn't receive any, obviously.
The guns used in the show are Uzi clones, and are called Ekol ASI and work without bullets. Also, we see another Uzi model on screen: Para Ordnance Model 85, which were produced temporarily in 80s as paintball guns!
This role is probably one of Wagner Moura's best works.
This is called a 'cameo' in show business and is pretty common in Hollywood.
Until the next season!
Adios amigos!
