DVD Double Feature
Desperado
Antonio Banderas, Joaquim de Almeida, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino star in this stylish shoot-'em-up described as a south-of-the-border Pulp Fiction.
Director Robert Rodriguez follows up his legendary debut film, El Mariachi, with this sexy sequel about a mysterious guitar player (Banderas) searching for vengeance against the men who murdered his girlfriend.
El Mariachi
All he wants is to be a mariachi, like his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather before him. But the town he thinks will bring him luck brings only a curse?of deadly mistaken identity. Forced to trade his guitar for a gun, the mariachi is playing for his life in this critically-acclaimed film debut from director Robert Rodriguez.
Please be advised that the version of El Mariachi on this disc does not contain an english dubbed audio track. It is only available in Spanish with English subtitles

Two mariachies on one dvd : the action-pack of the year ! - 4.5 out of 5 (6/16/1999)
Double Feature - double fun !
El mariachi, with its original style is definetly
Rodriguez´s best movie.
The second "desperado" is one of the best
action-films ever made.
The Picture and Sound of both films is just superb !
I like this dvd because it offers you not only the
"big-money-hollywood-production" Desperado
( of corse well done... )
but also the charming piece of motion picture art
El mariachi.
The films and the disc´s quality make this to
dvd all fans and collector
