Which is your favorite in Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy?
Which is your favorite in Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy, El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico?
I was just wondering because I was thinking about it for myself earlier. I think I came to the conclusion of El Mariachi. It was tough because you half to factor in all of the variables. Desperado is just a great action flick and Once Upon a Time has Johnny Depp in it, I mean come on it's Johnny Depp. I own them all and enjoy them all but I'm not sure why I just enjoy El Mariachi the most.
It was a tough choice but what do you guys think?

El Mariachi. Used to be Desperado until I read the Book "Rebel Without A Crew" It felt more personalized at that point. I enjoyed all 3 movies, and think Once upon a time in mexico has some cool scenes. Just glad he did a third one.
I think RR is underated. Take a guy that can do good action, horror, and kids movies and I think you have a talent. The guy does it all himself and says to hell with anyone who says he can't.

El Mariachi - It's truly amazing what he did with no money and even less experience. Desperado is good but lacks the magic that El Mariachi has.
It's better not to even discuss Mexico.

I would say Once... i don't like the action scenes in this film ( they don't match up to Desperado ) but I love the lines in Once.... and I think Johnny rules in the film as well as Rubén Blades.
And the first one I ever saw was El Mariachi and I did love that.

I saw Desperado, which I see is winning the poll, and thought.....well, that's the biggest load of crap I've ever seen.
It was supposed to be a comedy right?

Once Upon a Time in Mexico is all about Johnny Depp's performance -- I've never seen anything quite like it before.
Desperado is all about naked Salma Hayek -- never seen anything quite like that either.

If I wanna see Salma Hayek naked, I put on Frida.
