Changes: Lucha De Apuestas

Revision as of 00:36, 6 February 2020

"In Lucha libre, every match tells a story. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose so you can rise again. But there are rules, there is a plan."

—El Cura

"Lucha De Apuestas" is the ninth and midseason premiere episode of the fourth season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and the sixtieth episode overall. It aired on April 1, 2019.

Synopsis

When the Legends hear that Mona has let a fugitive go, they must head to 1961 Mexico City to clean up her mess. Mona tries to convince the Legends and the Bureau that the people responsible for releasing the fugitive were some mysterious Men in Black and not her. With no evidence to back up her theory, the Legends must decide if they should trust her and go against the Bureau. Meanwhile, Nate and Zari go on a recon mission to find out what Hank might be hiding from everyone.^[src]

Production

Preparation ran from September 27 until October 5, 2018. Shooting ran from October 9 until October 19, 2018, with a break on October 8 for Thanksgiving.^[1]

Trivia

The episode's title refers to a practice in professional Mexican wrestling in which a wrestler will offer up a wager, usually their mask, or hair in the case of unmasked wrestlers, to settle a feud.
- El Cura challenges Konane to one, as the latter had been winning every single fight, the former believing this to be against the spirit of the sport.
This episode aired nearly 4 months after the previous episode, "Legends of To-Meow-Meow", marking the longest hiatus in Arrowverse history (outside of between-season hiatuses).
Mona gives several references to the cult classic "The X_Files" like the truth is out there.
The Wilhelm scream is used when a Time Bureau agent flies past Constantine.
