Description:
EL MARIACHI: All he wants is to be is a mariachi, like his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather before him. But the town he thinks will bring him luck brings only a curse of deadly mistaken identity. Forced to trade his guitar for a gun, the mariachi is playing for his life in this critically-acclaimed film debut from director Robert Rodriguez. Financed with earnings from a month-long stay in a research hospital, this astonishing action adventure was shot with no second takes, using borrowed equipment and a talented cast of unknowns. The riveting result is a wild bullet-dodging ride through a world of bandido violence, from the suspense of the opening shoot-out to the tragedy of the unexpected conclusion. With little more than a great story and a lot of heart, Rodriguez has created pure movie pleasure, setting new standards for independent filmmaking, and establishing himself as an unquestionable talent. 'An enormously entertaining movie.' (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES). DESPERADO: Antonio Banderas, Joaquim De Almeida, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino star in this stylish shoot-'em-up described as a south-of-the-border Pulp Fiction. Director Robert Rodriguez follows up his legendary debut film, El Mariachi, with this sexy sequel about a mysterious guitar player (Banderas) searching for vengeance against the men who murdered his girlfriend. ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO: Leaping back into action, gun-slinging, guitar-toting hero 'El Mariachi' is back in town in ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, as director Robert Rodriguez delivers the epic final chapter of his pulp Western trilogy. Starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Enrique Iglesias and Willem Dafoe ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO is a full-frontal assault.

Rating:  - BEST COLLECTION
THIS IS THE REAL COLLECTION. THERE ARE SETS THAT ARE JUST DESPERADO AND ONCE UPON A TIME.... YOU NEED EL MARIACHI TO COMPLETE THE SET. THIS COLLECTION HAS ALL THREE - SO IT'S THE ONE YOU WANT.
Rating:  - Is a trilogy really required?
El Mariachi was new, refreshing, quick, and stylistic. Desperado was a little more due to it's available budget. But, Once Upon a Time in Mexico was a disappointment. I am a fan of Rodriguez, but this was something put together quickly for those who pushed him for a sequel, pure and simple...
Rating: - Great!
Only saw the last 2 parts. I got this set for my friend's daughter and she said the first part was decent, it had words you had to read because of the foreign language but it explained a lot.
Rating:  - Rodriguez Rocks
I'm a huge Rodriguez fan, and it all started here for him. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 is I can't reconcile that fact that El Mariachi is dubbed. Banderas does a fantastic job in Desperado, as does Selma Hayak, and Depp is added to the outstanding performance list in Once Upon a Time
Rating: - Awesome Set
Could never pass up a Robert Rodriguez movies, well worth the buy 3 great movies in one small package!!
