Montalban plays the scene perfectly, not saying a word as he realizes his world has ended. His failure in the ring lead to Hector's murder, and now, everyone knows it
@Peter Lorimer yes he was
Buried alive.
How'd he die
You have to admit, that salivating bull is exceptionally scary. And Ricardo Montalban's performance as the frozen frightened former great matador Montoya feels palpable and credible.
Very true. I'd either faint or start screaming like a little girl! He did well to just stand and stare.
@@ericsmith6315 He was nowhere near the bull,you can clearly see it isn't him in the longshot facing his back 😎
Ok a well written episode with two legendary actors just bringing it. I recently watched this episode again and it's still great. But let's appreciate Maria Grimm as Nina.
Nah
Where did you watch it? DVD or somewhere else? I can’t find it anywhere
Please and thank you
Yes, she was a beauty.
@@GillAgainsIsland12 Not only that, she made the scene, expressing the emotion that gave Montalban the opportunity to demonstrate that he was a macho gentleman.
Peter Falk&Ricardo Montalban : I miss badly both of them♡♡
Were you close to them?
The look Montoya gave Columbo and Sanchez as he got in the car .. One of respect, and the other of disgust.
I was very forward to watch this final clip of Colombo. It is a remarkable ending. I congratulate the writer who created this episode of Colombo. It is a work of a genius and great presentation from all the actors and actresses...!
Columbo already knew why when he asked, "Is Montoya a vain man?" It's a beautiful ending out of Greek tragedy: pride goeth before the fall. Bad as Montoya is, you bleed for him and that daughter because he had been a great man. Aristotelian catharsis.
One of my favourites. And what makes me smile is the slight confusion at the end, when sanchez and Colombo are stuck a bit longer than they should be in the scene, because Colombo is meant to get in the back door of the car, but he's gesturing for Sanchez to get in. I don't think that was scripted.
Like you know anything.
@@lewisc215 Why are you being malicious to this man. It is a credible thought, & if you disagree just say why politely. No justification for a personal insult.
@@SilverSkitterscuttle Anyone know this blockhead?
@@lewisc215 Like you know anyone.
i think you were right
At the very end of the clip, Columbo opens the police car door. Peter Falk must have been on autopilot a bit, he opened it as if he had just explained the motive and was arresting the señor. Then as great actors do, the señor notions twice to give the cue, and Falk (Columbo) flawlessly realizes his error and shakes his hand to explain the hand motion and gets in. Great moment of good tv

Greatest Star Trek villain ever!!!

It's Nancy Pelosi confronting Donald Trump on her death bed.
Or perhaps she'll confront him when it's his time to go. One never knows when the bell will toll for them. We all will face that moment.
Love the relatively profuse use of Spanish, really brings some realism to this episode that you don’t see much back then, or now that I think about it
Excellent episode!!! Even Luis Montoya cannot outsmart the Lieutenant 👍
Montalban and Falk, two overseen masterclass actors!
This was actually Columbo's most impressive case. He solve the case in a foreign country, not even speaking the language. On top of that, the motive was so bizarre that it was hard for anyone to believe, even for Columbo.
He speaks Italian so it’s not that foreign.
Even Khan cannot outsmart Columbo hajaha
Columbo arrested Mr. Spock once and Captain Kirk Twice.
Getting mauled by a bull has to be one of the most gruesome murders of the whole series.
Just like the episode where the “weapon” is two vicious dogs.
Excellent episode
One of the Best episode 👍🏿👍🏿❤❤❤
The mastery of silence in this scene is amazing. True cinematography.
However, I wonder if such simple detective work would still apply today?
I am anti bull fighting and homicide so i`m glad Columbo solved the riddle of the poisoned dart.
I went to a bullfight in Seville because of the cultural influence. I left in disgust after the first bullfight. The reactions of the spectators was disturbing, to say the least. They would have fit right in with ancient Romans watching slaves/Jews/Christians, etc. being killed in the ring.
I couldn't think of anything more frustrating than watching a bullfight, in more ways than one!
I hate bullfighting, but I love Columbo! He gets involved in another death where he uncovers secrets which helps him solve another case!
She went home for the anniversary party, remember? 😄 At least I think that’s what it was ☺️ lol
@@oliviab4412 Yes you're right, Mrs Columbo gets a bus back to LA.
You hate bullfighting? Why? Because it is the bull against three, but the matador does not come out until the bull has been speared multiple times and has almost bled out?
@@jedgar63 This barbaric 'sport' which continues as part of the countries heritage or tradition should have been abolished years ago.
@@keithjones6023 Settle down, authoritarian.
Thank goodness I found this. I watche the epesode thi s moning and for some reason the end was not recorded. Not on Netflix or Amazon. Last resort youtube. Happy days I can get on with the rest of trhe day now knowing how he solved it.....
Wow, the presence of the true matador at 01:30 is truly astounding.
So sad that he can't even turn to say goodbye to his daughter 😔
The first time I saw this episode, I thought Montoya was going to pierce the glass eye of Columbo with his sword at 3:21.
Falk & Montalbán. Love it.
3:16 ~ I like this scene...
Peter Falk and Ricardo Montalban were both greatly underrated actors
Ricardo Montalban, purveyor of fine Corinthian Leather.
это какой сезон, какая серия ?
Colombo, my old friend... you're still alive... let us have our rematch in the Mutara Nebula
Bugs Bunny in "Bully For Bugs" ... lmao

Montoya looked so angry at Columbo at the end, I was afraid he was going to stab him with the sword.
Columbo is the ultimate Matador!!
Columbo knew he had to use his pride against him. The lieutenant should get Mexican citizenship for this one.
that and sixteen pesos will get you a taco
Technically every case Columbo solves is a matador case 😉
I don't understand
@@hasan_z matador means killer in Spanish 😉
Oh right, good to know. Thanks for explanation
None of the comments are talking about his fantastic ascot/neckerchief
Is that guy at the beginning of the video the same guy that played the bad guy that is the first one dragged off by demons in 'Ghost', the Swayze/Moore movie?
Rick Aviles? No, he didn't start acting til 1981 with Cannonball Run. He was only 42 when he died.
That guy behind the girl is the general from the wild bunch!
There is a Monk episode that pays homage to this Culombo episode. It is called Mr. Monk goes to Mexico.

RIP Ricardo Montalban and Peter Falk
Hard to find something to watch these days , something that teaches you something you don’t know , something that helps you sleep well.
columbo wear raincoat even in warm mexico😁
STOP!..I SAID STOP!.... Is that Corinthian leather?
location in mexico san jose vista hermosa
I wonder if that Dodge cop car has "Rich Corinthian Leather" seats
I'm sure Hector, Lisa Janssen, Marc Palatsi, and anybody foreign...will have something to say about the Georgia (and Roach?) Forces...
"Corinthian Leather" (4:11).
KHAN!!..
Later on a quiet afternoon...
Corinthian Leather
so hector was killed cause he saw montoya froze in fear?
yes, precisely, he was killed just because of that, in fact the episode is titled " A matter of honor".
Yes as strange as it sounds. But this is fiction not reality so anything goes as a pretext for murder.
@@patrickjohnson5658 Methinks this provides one of the weakest motives for murder (as in no greed jealousy or revenge or blackmail). Another underwhelming "episode"/movie starred Leonard Nimoy, another ST alum in "A Stitch in Crime".
@@bonghunezhou5051 People murder each other these days for a lot less. But I don't really care about the motive. All that interests me is a murder has been committed and Columbo is on hand to solve the case and catch him or her.
@@bonghunezhou5051 Nimoy’s character was clearly motivated by greed; he wanted the older doctor dead so he could take all the credit for the research they were working on (and presumably get full patent royalties on the new drug they were developing)
Khan had Kirk. Montoya had Columbo... They both despised their adversary, but only one of them earned respect at the same time. It wasn't the intergalactic playboy.
Funny enough, Columbo took them both down. Kirk twice, in fact
ok
Uh... Mr KHAN, just one more thing
Corinthian leather!
This Case was total Bull 🤔😂
Rich Corinthian leather.
Молодые красивые актёры!-спасибо Питеру Фальку!хорошая серия!
Recuerdate de tu padre 🤣🤣🤣...
1:31 the most badass thing I've ever seen.
It could be argued that he froze because he was in shock over what happened to his friend.
Does make you wonder if he was ever a bull fighter
The plot of this episode is he was a famous bull fighter in his heyday but has since retired and now has a bad leg and raises them instead. His fame and reputation for bravery in Mexico is as a man who never showed weakness or hesitancy in the bull ring, so nobody is going to believe him if he tried to explain away what happened as shock over what happened to his friend.
@@patrickjohnson5658 thank you, I am familiar with the plot. But it doesn't explain why a once famous bull fighter froze the day his friend saved his son from the bull
@@RTG1031 I don't think they address that specifically just that he did and his friend saw it, and he killed him for it because he could not live with the knowledge another had seen his fear. My surmise is he was now a middle aged man who had not fought a bull for perhaps decades, and when faced with an angry bull again after so long, the courage and bravery he once had as a youthful Matador deserted him.
@@patrickjohnson5658 yes but then the gig is only up because he surrendered or virtually confessed. Like many other times, the evidence is only circumstantial and the right lawyer could argue all those points.
@@RTG1031 Don't forget we are talking about Mexican law here. Also if he could not live with the knowledge Hector saw him freeze in the ring and killed him, how is he going to live with the knowledge Columbo and Sanchez also saw him freeze in the ring? He can hardly kill Columbo or Sanchez, so will he kill himself even if he is acquitted in court?
Khan should have used his genetically engineered superior intellect...
Not one of the better Columbos unfortunately despite Khan being in it. :D
Regretfully, I find both this and the one w/ "Lenny" Nimoy as the villain inexplicable. I reckon that I comprehend greed or revenge-motivated crimes better.
Nimoy's character was motivated by greed, at least that was his motive for setting up his mentor/partner's death, which led to everything else ultimately.
This is a perfect example of the following expression:
⭐From Fame To Shame⭐
No one likes to be in that kind of Frame! Thanks to all for the good lesson!
Colombo can solve cases in all languages! I think that he could've solved racial disparity. ❤
never understood how him being scared of the bull proves he killed Hector
It establishes the motive, by re-creating what likely happened in the ring when Hector's son first got hurt. Before that, Columbo had already established how the murder was carried out, linked Montoya to the murder weapons (the bull and the drug), as well as destroyed Montoya's alibi. He even established premeditation through Montoya's instruction to wash and wax the new car. The only thing he lacked was motive, because it seemed bizarre that Montoya would want to kill his good friend Hector.
@@ogukuo97 hmm to be fair it's a long time since I seen this in full I need to rewatch it
@@srwilson3s2k14 Haha. Not knocking you. Just explaining. :)
@@ogukuo97 nah man it's fine just saying a full rewatch is probably called for.
I waiting for the "Negative reaction" ending on here it's one my fave busts!
She gets on my nerves!
this was the only Columbo I couldn't watch .... I detest bullfights and everything about them... very sick form of entertainment
I kind of think this wouldn't hold up in court at all. He doesn't prove anything apart from that Montoya froze this time. A decent loawyer could tear the rest to shreds, unless Montoya confesses and stands by his confession in court.
Perhaps in the U.S., but in Mexico not so much. Their criminal standard is 'guilty until proven innocent.' It's a much steeper burden to prove innocence.
No matter how good the lawyer is he would have to make sure the jury never saw this episode of Columbo and seen Montoya killing Hector by drugging him and then setting the bull on him with their own eyes...
Heavy winds at 30 km/h?
Too bad the writer of this episode never learned to convert to km.
29-38 km/h is a fresh breeze (movement of small trees).
Its all relative I suppose. A 30 km/h wind is more than enough to blow the cape bullfighters use to attract the bull around uncontrollably, which is the last thing they want as they need to be in full control of the movement of the cape at all times.
@@johnfinnegan8474 There's nothing relative about it. It's pure math. 30 km/h is NOT heavy winds. It's just a breeze. There's an actual Beaufort Wind Force Scale, you know?
@@sadderthanyou7793 Yes I know what the Beaufort scale is. What Columbo is describing would be force 5 on it. But this topic is not about that scale. A 30km/h wind is a heavy wind in the context of this episode about bullfighting if you are a matador trying to fight a bull in it, or even if you are just cycling your bike against it.
@@johnfinnegan8474 There's nothing relative about it and it's NOT "heavy winds". It's merely a breeze. The writer of this line had no idea how to convert from mph to kmh.
@@sadderthanyou7793 we will agree to disagree then, no point in getting all worked up over it. If the average person was trying to cycle their bicycle into a 30km/h headwind I doubt they would consider it to be merely a breeze.
spain has to stop bullfighting is totally out of order abusing proud animals like that
Savage, uncivilzed sport. BOYCOTT
It is a 50 year old TV episode. Relax snowflake.
Oh dear, this is nearly 50 years old. Come on.
@power2084 Sooooo in order to boycott something you have to stop going to it? I can see that rational thinking isn't your strong point (along with spelling).
That's why it's impossible to boycott women's soccer because no one watches it in the first place. Not a lot of bullfights in Quebec anyway. But you knew that. Wimp.
@@marceastment it's still going on today
@@FIREBRAND38 Boycott Mexico and Spain
30 kilometers. Shouldn't Columbo have used miles instead being American?!
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ & thou shalt be saved!
lol lets threaten ppl with death and then, if they dont act, thats a proof? Most pathetic ending i guess lol.
Columbo had enough to prove that Montoya was lying, but not enough to prove that he killed Hector or even a hint of a motive for the crime. Montoya was a braggart about his bravery against bulls, said he dealt with that same bull days before. Seeing him freeze up in front of a crowd told everyone the truth and Montoya's motive for killing a lone witness to his cowardice.
However he did have such moments where he endangered himself or someone else. In one he relied on a killer trying to use a guillotine on him, so he switch the safety plates on the collar to endure he'd get the safe side. Had the guy NOT tried to kill Columbo, Columbo would have been killed.
Columbo developed a theory that Montoya killed hector merely because he saw him showing fear in the bull ring. He knew it sounded so outlandish if he told it to anybody they would laugh at him. So the only way to show people was to arrange a practical demonstration which he arranged with Hectors son Curo.
