Synopsis: Desperado (1995)
Synopis: The no-named Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) tracks down the last Mexican drug-lord "Bucho" with the help of his best friend and a beautiful book store owner (Salma Hayek). In a poetically violent style reminiscent of John Woo and Sam Peckinpah, the Mariachi takes on his entire army of henchmen in a dusty border town as an act of revenge for the murder of his love and his injured musician's hand. Robert Rodriguez's big budget sequel to "El Mariachi." Also starring Cheech Marin (of Cheech and Chong) and Steve Buscemi (RESERVOIR DOGS).Features: Desperado (1995)

Pros: More features on Desperado, and a feature-loaded release of El Mariachi
Cons: Once Upon a Time in Mexico was too new to include
Desperado has been available on DVD for quite some time but I always resisted temptation to buy it. The old release was a plain-jane version with no extra features. I got burned by 'Pulp Fiction' back when I was new to the world of DVD. I figure that if there are no extra features on a DVD, then the videotape I already own is good enough.
The El Mariachi/Desperado twin pack is highly recommended to those who cannot wait for the undoubtedly planned Mariachi Trilogy set. It contains the new release of Desperado with quality extras and a commentary track by Director/Creator Robert Rodriquez that is quite interesting. The twin pack also includes a Special Edition of El Mariachi also with quality extras and a director's commentary. It's fascinating to hear Rodriquez's comments on making a (superb) movie for only $7000!
Both disc's have the same preview for 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' but to their credit, it's a little more than just the trailer. The preview contains scenes from the movie as well as production video and actor interviews.
Top this all off with smartly designed box to hold the DVDs and I call it one of the most satisfying 20 bucks I've ever spent at Best Buy! ...
