Nacho Libre (2006)

An interesting comedy film; Ignácio is a monk, in a poor South American country, but although he is dedicated to helping his fellow humans, he is not very devout. In fact he takes up wrestling, which seems to pay quite well, even though Ignácio and his sidekick the Skeleton, are not at all good. A lot of the jokes are quite weak, but Ignácio's constant trying and (usually) failing are quite amusing.

On the deleted scenes in the dvd, Ignácio is persauded to go to see the Gypsy Emperor to further his fighting prowess and hopefully become invincible. However the Gypsy Emperor insists on Ignácio and the Skeleton putting on a sort of tableau entertainemnt, in which Ignácio has to wear this dress, to which are fastened a dozen or so white doves.
