Vuelve el ojo de vidrio

Vuelve el ojo de vidrio ('The Glass Eye Returns') is a 1970 Mexican revolution-epic film directed by René Cardona Jr., starring Antonio Aguilar, Flor Silvestre, Manuel Capetillo, Eleazar García, Alejandro Reyna, and Guillermo Rivas. It is the sequel to the film El ojo de vidrio.

The story follows Porfirio and his band of loyal followers, including his brothers Gumaro, Chelelo, Plácido, and Jerónimo Buenavista, as they continue their fight against oppression and injustice in revolutionary Mexico. Porfirio's romantic interest María "La Coralillo" remains by his side as both a love interest and a fierce companion in their revolutionary activities.

The plot centers around the group's conflict with Melitón Barbosa, a corrupt official who represents the ongoing political corruption that plagued Mexico during this period. As government forces under Carrancista soldiers pursue the revolutionary band, Porfirio must use his cunning, marksmanship, and leadership skills to protect his people and advance their cause.

The film incorporates typical elements of the Mexican Revolution cinema genre, including horseback chases, gunfights, betrayals, and displays of revolutionary heroism. Musical numbers featuring traditional Mexican folk songs are woven throughout the narrative, reflecting the cultural importance of music in Mexican revolutionary folklore.

The story builds to a climactic confrontation where Porfirio's tactical brilliance and the loyalty of his followers are put to the ultimate test against superior government forces, ultimately reinforcing the themes of justice, brotherhood, and resistance against tyranny that defined the Mexican Revolution era.
