I'd love to see this movie, but as of right now the only way I have of seeing is buying it on eBay. Is it worth shelling out a few bucks for?

The plot of the movie isn't the greatest thing ever, but it is action packed. IF you enjoy seeing tons of people get killed and major gun fights, etc. then get it.

No, but if I buy it I will be getting the double feature that has that and Desperado. I've seen Once Upon a Time In Mexico, though, which I immensely enjoy.

Then get the double pack !

El is great (low budget & cheesey in a good way)

& Desperado is one great movie. The setup & the action. it's as good as Any John Woo movie.

Hmm...I happen to think John Woo is one of the worst directors of all time, actually.

But a quick question: Tarantino is in Desperado, correct? How big of a role does he have?

small, but great. and the all star cast is outsdanding.
To clarify the action is very John Woo, but the pacing & tone are not.

Blahblah. I don't give a shit about that kind of stuff, I just care about whether or not the film is good.

It just occured to me that Tarantino and Buscemi are both in this movie.

Now I have no choice but to see it.

I think you'll enjoy it. Cheech Marin also makes an appearance.

Get the double Pack with El - Well worth $20 for the 2 movies.

The soundtrack to Desperado is great as well.

You all convinced me.

I got the El Mariachi/Desperado DVD on eBay. I already had Once Upon a Time In Mexico.

Wait until you see the movie, and then say you don't give a shit about Salma's incredibly hot, naked physique. Unreal.

I laughed so hard while seeing this movie that my stomach and face hurt from the effort.

It's a must see.
