Esta pelicula cuando la echaron formo tremendo revuelo, pues en los cines en esos dias lo que estaban “echando” era pura bazofia del campo socialista. Se formaron tremendas colas y la gente comenzo a popularizar y asociar Yuma con USA.» —“Re: What does gusano mean?” by golo1945@aol.com (GOLO1945) Usenet: soc.culture.cuba Jan. 21, 1996.
