Customer Ratings & Reviews

I must first start by saying that "Desperado" is the best movie ever. Sometimes I wonder why such a great movie is so underated. It has everything. Awesome gunfights, great dialogue, a modern Western-like setting, and a steamy scene between Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. "El Mariachi" is also a very good movie. It is the movie that started the whole Mariachi-with-guitar-case-full-of-guns trilogy. There are even some great special features for aspiring film directors, including director Robert Rodriguez' take on how to make a movie for under $10000. Considering that this movie was produced for that much, it is a great success. This movie does well to demonstrate that a movie does not have to be the biggest blockbuster to be a good movie. The setup of this package is one DVD with a movie on each side. This is very convenient for fans who want to own both movies. However, there is also a three pack on the market, which adds "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" and each movie has its own case. For someone who does not own any of these movies, I would strongly recommend buying all three as a set. But for anyone who just wants these first two movies of the trilogy, this two-for-one package is a great deal.
