 |  | Great movies - even greater instruction |  |
I bought these movies after reading Robert Rodriguez's book and listening to El Mariachi's commentary. It became a must have in my library because of the high level of instruction both commentaries give.
If you are an indie film maker, pick these up without thinking twice.
If you dig action movies, they are pretty good for that as well. =)
December 28, 2006definate must see for rodriguez fans. one of the best action films from the database of robert rodriguez. maybe antonio's best aswell. definatly recomended to good action and rodriguez fans. quality of movie very excelent from amazon.com.....
July 28, 2005THESE MOVIES ARE EXCELENT. I LOVE THEM! BUT THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE. THIS DOUBLE PACK COST MORE THEN THE BOX SET WHICH IS THE SAME TWO MOVIES AND SAME STUFF. EXCEPT THE BOX SET HAS A COOL BOX.

As I watched this film for the first time, my two reactions were (a) I'll bet they all had fun making it and (b) is this a parody of the so-called "Spaghetti Westerns"? Essentially, there is no plot. El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) seeks revenge from Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) in a town which the drug dealer controls. EM enlists the support and assistance of Carolina (Selma Hayek) who owns and manages the local book store. (I'm not making this up.) No one eats or sleeps in this film. All of the action occurs during the day. There are a few crowd scenes but no one in the crowd seems to have any interest whatsoever in the fact that the street scenes are being filmed. There is one bar of special note. Cheech Marin is its host and bartender. (If you think the bar in Star Wars is unfriendly, this one makes it seem like the Palm Court at The Plaza in New York.) At one point, Quentin Tarantino briefly appears. Apparently he is involved in a drug deal which goes bad. Steve Buscemi also makes a brief appearance. Prudently, he decides not to become involved in the plot. (Where is Harvey Keitel?) EM is a one-man-army. Credit Rodriguez with brilliantly choreographing his creative and relentless carnage which leads up to the inevitable showdown with Bucho. Although most of this film makes no sense whatsoever, I found it thoroughly entertaining. It is on my Top Ten list of films to watch while consuming buttered popcorn, a box of Dots, and a cold beverage...or two.
