Desperado / El Mariachi

Director Robert Rodriguez made his name as an action-movie virtuoso in the vein of Sam Peckinpah with these two features about an unnamed adventurer traveling with nothing but a guitar in his hand and a price on his head. In "El Mariachi" (1992), the herois caught up in a deadly game of mistaken identity. Rodriguez cast Antonio Banderas in the sequel, "Desperado" (1995), as the musician/gunman takes on a Mexican drug ring. The high-powered cast includes Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Steve Buschemi and Quentin Tarantino. The disc includes director's commentary, featurettes, and music videos.
