A Mariachi musician wanders into a small Mexican town and is mistaken for a hit man who carries his gun in a smiliar case to the one he carries for his guitar in El Mariachi (Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gomez. 1993/81 min.)(Spanish audio only). The sequel Desperado (Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek. 1995/103 min.) finds the reluctant Mariachi dragged into the criminal underworld where he seeks out a Mexican drug lord to settle an old score. Color/R.

Additional Features:

The double-disc box of Desperado and El Mariachi offers a number of worthwhile features: interesting commentary tracks by director Robert Rodriguez on both films, his short film "Bedhead," and two 10-minute featurettes. Note, however, that they're almost exactly the same as those on the previously released two-sided disc; the only differences are the addition of a four-minute preview for the follow-up, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and a new transfer of El Mariachi presented in a slightly wider aspect ratio (1.85 instead of 1.66). The new transfer has richer colors, but hasn't gotten rid of scratches and fuzziness. If you don't already have the two-sided disc, this box is worth the purchase because of the slightly improved quality and significantly lower price, but if you have the other there's no compelling reason to upgrade.
