Matt, I think she was supposed to. From her name and the fact that at one point, she called out "Mamacita!" (Mexican word for "little mother." Note that it's the Mexican Spanish. Spaniards would used "mamita.") when she threw the bag of gold that Doc threw at her when he rushed off. -Lauren | Matt, I think she was supposed to.

| + | Matt, and Lauren, I don't think Chihuahua is supposed to be Latino at all. The name is just the name she has as an entertainer or whatever she can be classified as. I don't think it would have been uncommon to choose a Spanish word for a name (whether she or her employer did). Chihuahua is actually a large state in northern Mexico. Such a name might be considered exotic to a white man, although the girl isn't (thus making her more desirable). Also, just because she used "mamacita" doesn't mean she has to be Latino. We use Spanish expressions sometimes, too, and we're not Latino! And this is not the only instance in a film that a character is given only a first name because that's all the only one mentioned in the movie! -Whitney Holcomb | ||
Being a big fan of Tombstone really makes it hard for me to see this movie in a good way. Although Tombstone get several things wrong as well it portrayed the actual characters and situation far better than My Darling Clementine. Also the Doc Holliday in My Darling Clementine can never compare to Val Kilmers Doc Holliday from Tombstone. - Jonathan Bell | Being a big fan of Tombstone really makes it hard for me to see this movie in a good way.
