Desperado (1995)
Robert Rodriguez blew minds when he created “El Mariachi” for $7,000. The sequel added a brooding Antonio Banderas and sizzling Salma Hayek to rack up $58 million worldwide. But was “Desperado” actually good?
If you’re looking for cool cameos, hot sex scenes, bloody bar fights and a strong female lead, then yes. If you’re looking for believable gunplay, a plot that makes sense, badass sidekicks or artistic composition, then you’re out of luck.
In this episode, commissioned by listener Rachel, the Shat Crew discusses Steve Buscemi always being the same age, Quentin Tarantino always being Quentin Tarantino and henchmen always being unreliable.
Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) plunges headfirst into the dark border underworld when he follows a trail of blood to the last of the infamous Mexican drug lords, Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida), for an action-packed, bullet-riddled showdown. With the help of his best friend (Steve Buscemi) and a beautiful bookstore owner (Salma Hayek), the Mariachi tracks Bucho, takes on his army of desperados, and leaves a trail of blood of his own.
