EL MARIACHI: All he wants is to be is 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. Financed with earnings from a month-long stay in a research hospital, this astonishing action adventure was shot with no second takes, using borrowed equipment and a talented cast of unknowns. The riveting result is a wild bullet-dodging ride through a world of bandido violence, from the suspense of the opening shoot-out to the tragedy of the unexpected conclusion. With little more than a great story and a lot of heart, Rodriguez has created pure movie pleasure, setting new standards for independent filmmaking, and establishing himself as an unquestionable talent. "An enormously entertaining movie." (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES). 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. ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO: Leaping back into action, gun-slinging, guitar-toting hero "El Mariachi" is back in town in ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, as director Robert Rodriguez delivers the epic final chapter of his pulp Western trilogy. Starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Enrique Iglesias and Willem Dafoe ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO is a full-frontal assault.

El Mariachi box set - Great value collection
This excellent set contains all three films in Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi trilogy. In El Mariachi, Rodriguez's breakthrough film, we are introduced to the man of destiny, who just wants to be a Mariachi like his father before him. Fate says otherwise, and he gets tangled in a bloody tale of revenge. In Desperado, introducing Antonio Banderas as the Mariachi, he is now on a hunt for the man who murdered his girl and turned him into a gunslinger. In Once Upon A Time In Mexico Banderas' Mariachi is recalled into action to try and prevent a bloody coup against the president, and there might be opportunity for revenge along the way.All three are told with Rodriguez's patented style of blood, guts and humorous gory violence. These are three entertaining and thrilling adventures. The best of the lot is Desperado - Rodriguez was still finding his feet with the first film, and the third is a little too ambitious to be effective. Desperado finds the right balance.All three are presented on separate discs, in a fold out card case. The picture and sound quality is excellent on all three. For the price being asked this box set is a steal. 4 stars.

Beware: Spanish & German only
El Mariachi soundtrack is only available in the original Spanish, and a German dubbed version. Personally, I think that this should be made clearer. Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico are however great movies.
