Dec 4 2008 'Che' Poster, Trailer, Revolutionary

And don't get into any trouble!" (Yeah, right! Not if I know Chase!) But when Che is captured by military forces, it's up to his half-wit brother to save the day (and Christmas?) by filling in for the revolutionary... and throwing Che t-shirts into the crowd?! Oh, Chase!
More evidence that this movie should be made is under the cut.
