El Mariachi... Honestly, personal opinion, Roberto Rodriguez has never come close to making anything this amazing in his career again.
He has tried to recapture it, but the story, the film techniques, everything in El Mariachi was fresh, new, exciting, well considered and executed. One of my favorite films.
It's the ultimate in the triumph of a great idea and talented team over budget.
Glad to see some love for it here.
I had the DVD special with making of bits.
It shows how they went to a local blacksmith to make the pully rig for the zipline scene and it was dirt cheap.
Damn I miss DVDs from back in the day. Directors commentary, deleted scenes, bloopers and behind the scenes were the shit.
