DVD Reviews of Desperado [Region 2]
DVD Review: Mariachi Extremo
Summary: 4 Stars
The Good Things
*Lots of good action scenes.
*Very excellent, solid filming style and quality. A vast improvement over its predecessor "El Mariachi."
*Not a bad story.
*It's well written.
*Not bad characters. Maybe not as good or memorable as "El Mariachi," but they are fun.
*Good music.
The Bad Things
*Ummm...
The Questionable Things
*A fair amount of absurdity. Some may like it, others won't.
This sequel to is a tremendous improvement over "El Mariachi" in terms of style, action, cameramanship, and overall quality. Only the story and characters seem superior in the predecessor, but are still fun in "Desperado." Anybody who enjoys action films should enjoy this.
The DVD has very good video and sound quality. It is mostly in English; parts in Spanish are subtitled. Includes a few good special features; commentary and making-of footage.

This movie is great; brilliant dialogue, a ridiculous number of gun fights, obscene amounts of blood and guts, great soundtrack and the best sex scene ever ..... just classic! DVD Review: Best Western
Summary: 5 Stars
When I watched this movie, I could not believe the difference between it and El Mariachi. Not because the man from the first one looked nothing like Antonio Banderas, but becuase in el Mariachi, the effects were decent, but in Desperado, the effects were fantastic. Not only were the effects dazzling, but the cast was great as well as all of Robert's Movies. I give this movie 5 stars and higly recommend it for any QT or Robert Rodriguez fan.
Description of Desperado [Region 2]
It's Sergio Leone meets Sam Peckinpah meets Quentin Tarantino in this ultraviolent, mythological shoot-'em-up by auteur Robert Rodriguez. In Desperado, Rodriguez creates larger-than-life, genre-tweaking stock characters and puts them through their paces. As they stride bravely through an Old West lightly dusted with camp humor, they're periodically called upon to nimbly dodge bullets and fireballs through outrageously choreographed displays of Hollywood pyrotechnics. In this bigger-budget semi-remake/semi-sequel to Rodriguez's indie sensation, El Mariachi (made, famously, for $7,000), Antonio Banderas is the darkly charismatic El Mariachi, the Mysterious Stranger in town; Steve Buscemi is perfectly cast as his weasely, motor-mouth Comic Sidekick, laying the groundwork for El Mariachi's entrance by spinning saloon stories to build up his legend; Cheech Marin is a standout as the Bartender, who really knows how to handle a toothpick; and gorgeous Salma Hayek is, well, the Girl--treated to the kind of full-blown, slow-mo introduction the movies traditionally lavish on beautiful new stars. It doesn't add up to much, but it's a kick. Be careful not to blow out your speakers with the DVD's Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. --Jim EmersonThrillers DVDs
