I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Blistering performances.

Alfonso Rosas Priego is Mexico's best director. His grandfather started the Mexican film industry (also the photographer for president Diaz, and his father owned a studio and laboratory. However, this Rosas Priego is the auteur, and he knows how to make unforgettably entertaining movies. Forget those pretentious art films, Rosas Priego doesn't make his films for stuffy professors or subscribers to NOW Magazine. They are tough, gritty, sexy and seamy. You are never bored, plus there are always surprises. The sequel "El Hijo de Pedro Navaja" is pretty darn good, too. I wish he'd make some movies in the United States.

This movie is one of the best i seen. Its up there with scarface. Pedro Navaja is a true Playa, Hustla, Pimp. More so than Bishop Don Magic Juan. Crazy-ass movie, really illustrates the reality of Mexico city in the late 70's. There is all these knife fights (i mean his name is does mean knife). This movie has everything, a bit of comedy, knife fights, shootouts with the cops, hookers, and a GREAT sex scene. All these people die but they deserved it they was all guilty. Its like Dolemite mixed with scarface. A must watch if your a fan of pimp movies. Watch it with ya friends , or with misses. Just go out and watch it. GO RENT IT RIGHT NOW.

This movie was pretty much hard to find itself but now it´s part of my collection,It tells the story of a man named Pedro and is called Pedro "Navajas" it´s the latin name for Mack "The Knife", so Pedro played masterfully by Andres Garcia, he is a player, a pimp, he has a lot of women working for him on the streets and he gets his money that way, He is the ultimate playboy, a real hustler,But he´s not the only one, There´s "El Cumbias" played by Sergio Goyri his rival and his Teacher in the arts of prostitution,He has a brother and a "Girlfriend" who is played by Maribel Guardia before she looks fantastic, she even makes a half naked scene that looks awesome,Theres a dancer named "La Tijuana" played by Sasha Montenegro and she has a superb body, she gets completely nude in this flick, we can say that it gets erotic at some point, police is always going for Pedro and he gives them a bribe and they let him go, he is a modern robin hood because he helps everybody and everybody worship Pedro, it´s a must see to see what reality was in the streets of mexico in the late 70´s.To finish the number they play it´s original song´s theme PEDRO NAVAJA and they act exactly what the song is saying at the same time, cool coordination of events at the end.

What can you expect when you have Andres García, Maribel Guardia, Sergio Goyri, Sasha Montenegro, Resortes and such a wonderful, sticky and great song??? A very interesting movie. Specially the end. This should be in your top ten mexican movies more than anything.Should not be missed!!! More than any mexican movie around.
