Here’s my Mariachi-Ranking:
- El Mariachi
- Once Upon a Time in Mexico
- Desperado
El Mariachi has great action sequences, identificable characters and real emotions. Once Upon a Time in Mexico was a surreal trip through Mexico in a comic style with some of the greatest action scenes I’ve ever seen in my life and a fuckin cool Johnny Depp. And then comes Desperado. Its great too, but the other two are simply better than this. Tarantino’s role is very funny, Salma Hayek is the sexiest woman alive and the action is great, but I like OUATIM and El Mariachi more.
Hey, you all must read the book “Rebell without a crew” from R. Rodriguez. Its a great documentary of El Mariachi producing, with some pics of R.R. and Tarantino and Harvey Keitel and it has the whole Mariachi script.
