He had such a screen presence in Only the Strong. The way he carried himself on screen and his dialogue really made him a memorable character in martial arts films. I always felt he would've been a good Vega in Street Fighter.
Paco is such an underrated actor. He should've got more main roles, as an antagonist as well as a protagonist. He is naturally talented and a very humble person as evident in this interview. In fact, between him and Mark, he is my preferred actor and character in OTS (Don't get wrong. I love Mark's performance too ) Love his accent and style in that movie. Great job in getting this interview with him, Viking Samurai. You never fail to surprise me. Never know who you will pull up next 😄👏👏👏
Silverio, was raw, straight to the point, in your face type villain with no cgi! I’m glad I was born in the mid 80’s, got to witness greatness happen throughout the late 90’s when it came to films… I’m forever thankful for those films I’ve watched growing up! Great humbling experience watching this interview, Paco Prieto "The children are back from the plaaayyygrrround" the way a final boss should be!! Blessings!!
I’m a big Paco Prieto fan and you touched on Lion Heart but I think it was a missed opportunity to not ask him about Jungle Law even if the discussion was brief. Nevertheless, this was a great interview, thank you for conducting it.
Such a nice and sympathetic guy, I like him so much in Only the Strong in the role of Silverio, despite the fact that he was the bad guy; it was so authentic in his character :)
A redemption story for Silverio, teaming up with Dacascos to take on a new breed of street gang/boss, inspiring kids to stay on the path. THAT would be a great story.
@@KICKBOXER27 I respect where you’re coming from, but IRL, felons who’ve committed equally heinous crimes have found God in prison reformed themselves and tried to save others. Anything’s possible.
@@VikingSamurai and May Geoffrey Lewis rest in peace. He was such a central part of the original, supporting Louis (Dacascos) no matter the personal cost. What a great “Everyman” actor.
Man do I appreciate you getting in contact and doing this interview with Paco. I've been looking for info to see what he's been up these days but nothing comes up anywhere. I see why too since he's more focused on his training. Only The Strong was one of my childhood movies I've seen many times and just had a great storyline and message to it. If they ever do a part 2 that will be extremely exciting. Thanks again!!
I can’t even imagine how much Paco and Mark both had to train and work together for some of these rolls. I remember Paco saying that him and Mark we’re exhausted from doing some of these scenes and training but could definitely relax and smoke a Cuban cigar. That must have been a lot of fun
I love only the strong the first time I watched it I was 7 years old it popped up on HBO and I keep rewatching it ever sense. It never gets old such a great film. I remember in middle school if someone had a suggestion of a movie to watch in class I said put “Only the strong” and the whole class loved it.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE VILAIN CHARACTER OF ALL TIME is Paco/Silverio in Only the Strong even to this day!!! Between JCVD (my role model since I was 12, 34 years ago) seeing these two in the same scene in Liohheart was phenomenal!! Paco's performance in Only the Strong was Oscar worthy in my opinion. The basketball scene fight where Paco's in all black, pulls up and kicks Mark Dasacos's rear was the best part of the movie! Still Only the Strong is my favorite non Van Damme film! Paco if your reading this you and JCVD inspired me to the max when I'd go to the gym and crush it. Hope all is well and stay blessed! I think Paco was an underrated actor and should have been in several more films!!
Hes was a great baddie, I never noticed for years that he was the guy in the pool fight scene in lionheart, seems like nice man very respectful shows how good of an actor he was 👌
I loved "Only the Strong" that's one of the movies I grew up with. Thank you for this interview. I always wondered whatever happened to Paco. I only remember seeing him in Only the Strong & Lionheart
Paco is such a personality, the dialogue that they give to him on OTS is very cheese, but he have a presence that make everything that come from his mouth like the most important thing ever.
Viking Samurai, I've never commented on your channel before now but keep up the AWESOME interviews!! Cyborg 1989 is my absolute favorite movie of all time and that poster you had of it made me an instant fan!
Such a warm guy Paco. After the sequel he needs to be in more movies. Even playing a good guy as a Capoeira teacher training the lead character. Great interview. Awesome job!
I cant believe you actually interviewed Paco thats so fn cool! I wish he was in more mma movies! Out of all the mma fighters in movies Paco & Phillip Rhee too me looked the most advanced the most dangerous the most bad ass!
You can tell Paco had some acting and performance skills from before, as his acting was pro level in Only the Strong - Sheldon's direction was also superb as displaying actors in the right light or angle can really make a difference. However it is also like what Van Damme once said, about making your performance great and the best it could be, so it doesn't get messed up in the editing room by an editor who may choose poor shots - Paco's performance was flawless in ONLY THE STRONG. Looking forward to seeing Paco return in the sequel - Maybe they could have a villain that is more powerful than Silverio but with a connection to Silverio, such a connection that Louis Stevens has to team up with Silverio, and they have to find a solution, and maybe they could bring Geoffry Lewis back, he's always great when he works with Sheldon . Great content again from you Viking!!!!
Paco was that dude and If studios was serious back in the 90's by making the King of Fighters, he would of been a solid Robert Garcia or even worked with Wesley Snipes in the Blade,e.t.c... Only the Strong was fun to watch back then and even today for hardcore martial arts enthusiast.
Hello, Viking Samurai. I'm so happy for you achieved this level of success. You make great content, and you're one of the few TH-camrs, where I watch the whole video, when you drop stuff. Thanks, for this interview, getting Paco more exposure, as he's gonna get some new fans. TERRANCE OUT
Mr. Prieto makes a good point about film projects being completed based on miracles. I mean you have major big budget motion pictures like Batgirl that was cancelled. So to have a sequel on Only the Strong is going to to take a big commitment. I know they can do it!
I found this video just today, just today I found your channel and I am just like WOW, OMG... So many memories come back! And this is the real Silverio! I´m outta breath!!
never expecting to find any interview or a video of Paco Prieto. The man was really like some underground boss . thank you for this material, good luck to your channel and to Paco Prieto for his future, the guy is deadly and legit fighter .
Great video!! Congrats on 60K!! You deserve so much more!! Man, the world is broken, how can viking samurai has 60K subs? It should be minimum 1 million subs no doubt, his content is brilliant and the interviews are done with the best of the best, there are people in the interviews that influenced generations, I feel sometimes really down when I see people with millions of subs just playing fortnite or shitty content, man, this is unfair, well, it's life, I wish all the best to viking samurai and hopefully he gets want he deserve, 1 Million subs minimum, I totally respect this warrior, keep up the good work!! Greetings from Madeira island in Portugal
17:50 where did this part of interview come from? That interview was great, many years we did not know what has happened with this cool actor, thank you!
That sequel needs to happen ☺ it kinda sounds like it's gonna have a bit of a Cobra Kai Twist to it 😏. With Silverio wanting to change his ways , and turn good kind of like Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai . Can't Wait for it 😊
I would pass to see another “Only The Strong” film without the Salvario Character because his performance was amazing. He was my favorite character in the film because of his strong dominance and confidence. I always saw the Salvario character as a good guy and peaceful until you try to stop him from taking care of his family or neighborhood. His insanity to provide was righteous to him in some way. Maybe with rehabilitation Salvario channels that love and compassion for the good in the next film! Maybe Master Frank Dux can play his Doctor in the film! What a powerful character and what a great interview by Viking Samurai! Salvario was Definately the Strongest Presense in the film and it made Master Marc such a babyface for fans! Every hero needs a good heel! 🇺🇸🙌🏻
See, you don't fool a man who was born and raised in the worst barrio of Rio De Janeiro. We're gonna find out real quick who's the real Capoeira maestre in this neighborhood!
He stole that bloody movie, the accent and dialogue plus the acting was an awesome badguy..sometimes the acting is better than the movie..shame he never became a lead in movies. Maybe he looked too tough to look vulnerable for a hero.
@@boshirahmed I would've loved to see him as the lead in a sort of Latin Out for Justice type of movie. I think that could've worked pretty well honestly. I thought he was excellent in Jungle Law with Jeff Wincott as well.
@@MatrixCobretti a Latin American martial art hero was missing in the era. There would have been a market for it .perhaps Hollywood tas favourites .it's a shame..
@@boshirahmed Who knows. Hollywood producers have always proven time and time again that they can be incredibly out of touch with their audience, and downright stupid as well.
Paco and Mark both put in a ton of overtime working together to get the fighting scenes down to perfection and pushed each other during training. Those two had to have been exhausted after it was all over. I heard that they went out for some smooth on the rocks scotch and whisky and had some cigars.
Paco is a legend in my opinion, wish he could had gotten more roles in action films . Hey Viking Samurai did you get the new 'Death Warrant' blu ray? Also I'm praying Only The Strong comes out on blu ray soon.
Lol right! He does have that Adrian Paul/Fabio look going on during the 90s era haha. Between him and the guy that played Fender off Cyborg. He also co-starred in Kickboxer 2 as a bad guy and Point Break. As one of the surfers that ruffed up Keanu Reeves. They both were sinister bad guys with the looks, imposing physical features and skills.
Jerry Lewis kickboxer said Hollywood is about who Ur friends are who who offend..meaning lots of ass kissing..not everyone can handle that culture..so some tough guys may not be willing take bad treatment like a director shouting or swearing at them..
The aesthetic of Silverio was perfect. He just looked like the ultimate action bad guy.
Heavily overlooked movie villain.
He had such a screen presence in Only the Strong. The way he carried himself on screen and his dialogue really made him a memorable character in martial arts films. I always felt he would've been a good Vega in Street Fighter.
More like Robert Garcia from king of fighters
For real, this is Robert Garcia kof in person
Man it's funny you said that, I always thought he would have made a good Bison.
I like the Robert García and Vega ideas.
Wow. I can actually see Paco as Vega, especially, when he was younger. Thats cool you thought of that.
TERRANCE OUT

So, I just don't see that happening.

Great interview! Many thanks :)
Only 60K subs? How?
I think of this channel as one of the big ones!
Paco looked so intimidating in those movies. It's hard to believe he was in that role looking at him in this interview. He seems very humble
Thank you Viking Samurai for the videos...Im your fan from Brazil.
Man do I appreciate you getting in contact and doing this interview with Paco. I've been looking for info to see what he's been up these days but nothing comes up anywhere.

I'm glad I was able to get this interview too, as it was quite special and I knew the fans would get a kick out of it. Glad you liked it!
We love you Paco! Everyone is looking forward to seeing you in action again. God willing this movie will happen.Greetings from Brazil.
I remember watching “Only the Strong” when it was released on video. By the way, congratulations on over 60k !
Viking you did it again.
Just watched this movie for the first time yesterday
Great flick!
I can’t even imagine how much Paco and Mark both had to train and work together for some of these rolls. I remember Paco saying that him and Mark we’re exhausted from doing some of these scenes and training but could definitely relax and smoke a Cuban cigar. That must have been a lot of fun
Great interview Viking! Paco was great in Only The Strong. I hope to see him again in movies💪👍
I love only the strong the first time I watched it I was 7 years old it popped up on HBO and I keep rewatching it ever sense. It never gets old such a great film.

Great interview. Paco in all black with ninja style skullcap looks like he just came off a movie set.
Till this day me and my friend always reenact the basketball scene and we are 40 hahahaha
They will never make movies like this anymore. We were blessed with the time and actors at this era
Paco was really good in only the strong. "The children are back from the playground"Great movie.
One of the scariest lines in the movie ❤
Hes was a great baddie, I never noticed for years that he was the guy in the pool fight scene in lionheart, seems like nice man very respectful shows how good of an actor he was 👌
"quebra gereba" chorus: quebra. Break everything!
Silverio, one of the great martial arts screen villains.
I loved "Only the Strong" that's one of the movies I grew up with. Thank you for this interview. I always wondered whatever happened to Paco. I only remember seeing him in Only the Strong & Lionheart
He was also great in Street Law
This is awesome I was always wondering what he was doing now. Great VID🔥
👍 Paco is an amazing martial artist. Thank you for your content. Your videos bring back some of the joy from my childhood.
Silverio should have his own spin off. He was such a character. Lets see whos de real capoeira maestri...in dis neibahood
Paco is such a personality, the dialogue that they give to him on OTS is very cheese, but he have a presence that make everything that come from his mouth like the most important thing ever.
He is the Brazilian Capoeira fighter in Lionheart during the Pool Match

Geoffry Lewis is no longer with us, He passed away a few years back in April 2015.
this guy seems very humble and a good guy..not loud and being over the top like some guys get..That gets my respect.I hope the best for him..
Really good interview. Well done, as always!
Man I love this channel. Can't wait for the JCVD interview cause I know its coming!
Just interviewed Mark Dacascos!

Amazing!!! One of my favorite movies, Along with Best of the Best. Thank You brothers...🙏🙏🙏
#ONLYTHESTRONG🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the video. I still love only the strong. It’s one of my favorites of all time.
I would love to see Paco in one season of Cobra Kai standing next to Thomas Ian Griffith. Too bad they never made a movie together.
2 of the greatest villain characters of all time in the same movie would be phenomenal!!
@@Buffster0896 Exactly! 👍

Good ole Paco!!
Silverio!!! Thanks for this interview! Only the Strong is one of my favorite movies!
I found this video just today, just today I found your channel and I am just like WOW, OMG... So many memories come back! And this is the real Silverio! I´m outta breath!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paco Prieto would have made an epic Robert Garcia from king of fighters/ Art of fighting in a live action adaptation of either.
Good movie, Paco Prieto is real good villain in this movie, good fight with Mark Dacascos.
never expecting to find any interview or a video of Paco Prieto.
The man was really like some underground boss .
thank you for this material,
good luck to your channel and to Paco Prieto for his future,
the guy is deadly and legit fighter .
Another great interview with a iconic bad guy from when movie used legit martial artist 👊🙏
Great content! Yeah I remember when Only the Strong came out like it was yesterday. I watched it over and over...I guess we all did.
Very good villain Paco played in Only The Strong! Such an underrated 90s Classic!! 👏🏾
I do not get why people call appreciated movies as underrated.
These interviews are fantastic.
I hope you get to chat with Gary Daniels, Jerry Trimble, and Jeff Wincot someday. They must have some amazing stories.
Paco Prieto looked like a Harlequin cover model, but is a legit martial artist with a badass presence. I feel like he should’ve been a bigger star.
Great follow-up!
100k coming... you got this
VS, I sincerely hope you get a chance to do a major action movie, for i believe you have the talent to become a great action star.
Thanks, I do have something planned in the works that I wrote with a good friend that we're in the process of trying to get made.
Great interview!
Great interview 👍 👏

Great interview. Paco was epic in OTS. There should be a sequel.
I've had that chant stuck in my head for 30 years. Now I know it makes break the head. Haha
Great chant lol
Sean you should review some of these old action & martial arts flix on your channel as well
Paco Prieto in Jungle Law is Jeff Wincott.
I always liked him! Always.

Man had they made the Art of Fighting in to a movie back in the 90s Paco Prieto would have been the perfect live action Robert Garcia.
Paco and Mark both put in a ton of overtime working together to get the fighting scenes down to perfection and pushed each other during training. Those two had to have been exhausted after it was all over. I heard that they went out for some smooth on the rocks scotch and whisky and had some cigars.
You should tell him to get everyone back and make a only the strong version of cobra kai, how badass would that be.
I love ur videos and training clips
Awesome! I always wished someone would do a great remake of this at some point.
Paco is a legend in my opinion, wish he could had gotten more roles in action films . Hey Viking Samurai did you get the new 'Death Warrant' blu ray? Also I'm praying Only The Strong comes out on blu ray soon.
Have not gotten that new Death Warrant yet
When I first saw the cover for only the strong
I thought Paco was Adrian Paul from highlander the series
Lol right! He does have that Adrian Paul/Fabio look going on during the 90s era haha. Between him and the guy that played Fender off Cyborg. He also co-starred in Kickboxer 2 as a bad guy and Point Break. As one of the surfers that ruffed up Keanu Reeves.

Is there more? Fun interview with Paco. Does he have any social media pages?
There will be 1 more part
.. make sure to check him out on Instagram, he started that account a couple months ago I believe
Beast mode activated
Very best actor. Only the strong is good rôle for him. Terrific boss cartel 😅
He was real good villian in only the strong _ one of the best. I thought that Daniel Bernhard was silverio primo , they look a like tho
Only the Strong is my jam!
Why didn't you talk about the movie Street Law?
When are you going to have Mr Spandex himself, JCVD on your channel?
Lol My Capoeira Instructor’s nickname really is Santo. So I periodically do an Silvario impersonation 😂😂😂😂
