Synopsis
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

A great way to lear about filmmaking - 4.25 out of 5  (7/23/2001)
If I gave you seven thousand dollars, what would you do with it? Most people would go shopping, pay off some bills or perhaps buy a new car. If you were director Robert Rodriguez you would take your seven thousand dollars, travel to Mexico and make a small film that will eventually go on to make over twenty-nine times the amount of money originally invested. Don't go thinking anyone gave him this money. In case you haven't heard the story, he and one of his eventual actors subjected themselves   more >>

Buy it for the Director's Comments alone - 5 out of 5  (11/6/2000)
I just wrote a comment about another DVD that had a poor director's comment. The reverse is true for this DVD. The best director's commentary I have ever heard. Robert Rodriguez essentially conducts a film course in how to make an inexpensive film ("El Mariachi") and how to maximize a budget he received for "Desperado." The comments alone make this a must buy DVD. Rodriguez does not speak down to his audience and he presumes all listeners are interested in filmmaking.The first feature - "El Mari   more >>

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   more >>
