Like it or not, I do believe that is the original poster art. Besides, I think it looks pretty good...especially Salma. Yummy.

What the hell?

1.78:1?

I understand that that's a digital camera ratio - but this film was projected at 2.35:1. What's the intended ratio?

If this is a Columbia decision, that's awful.

Yummy but misleading since
Spoiler:
she's displayed so prominently yet in the movie for maybe 5 minutes tops.

the aspect ratio has got to be a typo. I know it was projected at 2:35

Hopefully there will be a cheap(er) box set with "Desperado" and "El Mariachi" both.

It may indeed by a typo, but not by me. That's exactly what the spec list from Columbia said. I wouldn't have thought they'd screw up the aspect ratio on such a big release though. I hope not anyway!

Why is Salma second billed and on the cover?

Because she'll sell DVDs and she'll sell DVDs.

After seeing the movie, I think Robert R needs to expand his schooling past "10 minutes".

I meant a box set of the trilogy, since I haven't picked up the first two yet.

Just in from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment is their January 20th lineup of day-and-date and catalog releases, led by the box office smash Once Upon a Time in Mexico. The third and final chapter in Robert Rodriquez's "El Mariarchi" trilogy, this feature-packed set includes a 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, English 5.1 Dolby surround track, an audio commentary by Rodriquez, the "Ten-Minute Film School," "Inside Troublemaker Studios," "The Anti-Hero's Journey," "Film is Dead" and "The Good, the Bad and the Bloody" featurettes, deleted scenes, and ROM-exclusive shooting gallery and lotteria interactive activities. Retail is $26.95.
DVDfile confirms the aspect ratio of 1.78:1.

Well, they're just confirming that that's what Columbia has announced. Whether Columbia is in error is still unknown.

I myself can't wait to pick it up. I was hoping for a commentary track and another "Ten Minute Film School" and surely Robert has done both for the dvd, so I'm a very happy man.

Really? The theatre I saw it in projected it at 1.85:1 .
And it was perfectly framed I might add (no stretching or cropping at all). Are you and Rypro 525 sure you saw it in 2.35:1?

Absolutely positively ultimately positive.

I WORK at the movie theater. Guess who has to put those mattes up?
