For a $ 7,000 movie, it is very well made and immensely fun to watch. The amateur cast here is surprisingly charming, even Moco, who may be the least charismatic villain in the history of film.
Es la única película que me entusiasma de este director, porque su acabado de serie B es genuino. Barata en términos de producción, pero desbordante en creatividad y energía. La cámara y el montaje son de un dinamismo tremendo. A pesar de sus fallas (las flojas actuaciones, con la excepción de Reinol Martínez como Azul), resulta una experiencia muy entretenida. Creo que nunca más volvió a filmar con tanta garra.
Quite possibly one of the most important and influential independent films ever made. A living proof that money is completely secondary when it comes to making good cinema.
Un debut bastante prometedor. Lastima que con Rodriguez son una de cal por un putero de arena
On it's own, EL MARIACHI is not a great film. What makes it great is what went into it, the passion, the creativity, and the spirit of making your own damn movie by any means necessary. This is what makes EL MARIACHI a great film.
A extremely low budget film that works just as good as a multi- million dollar action film. Rodriguez may not be in the league of great directors but he sure is an inspirational one to beginning filmmakers.
Image for this page is wrong... Onto the film, definitely an impressive example of what one can do with a small budget given passion and dedication.
Jajaja yes indeed, Colton Bose, but, dont worry, both Once Upon a ime in Mexico and El Mariachi are very Bad movies in wich Rodriguez analized himself...
A triumpth of low budget film making. It goes a long way to show how Passion, ingenuity, and a handful of talent can make a lot from very very little.
