Desperado dvd - which?
The superbit, the special edition, or the el mariachi/desperado box set. I haven't seen El Mariachi but i love the box art and i'm sure i would like it. All i have is a 24'' Toshiba TV so i doubt i would benifit much from the superbit. So is the SE the best one to get? Or is there word on a trilogy box set with once upon a time in mexico? Any oppinion on this would be great.

I got the boxset which is just the SEs of Desperado and El Mariachi, and I'm happy with both of them. I wouldn't see much benefit from a trilogy set as I feel that the first two were better films anyway. I say go for the box set. You won't regret it.

andrewdow: It's an allright movie, but the reason to really watch it is to listen to Rodriguez's commentary and find out how he made a feature film for $7,000 and got his foot in the door in Hollywood at the same time.

The video on the Desperado Superbit is MUCH better than the older double feature disc since it is a brand new HD transfer. IIRC, the transfer on the SE uses the same master as the SB, so it should be better than the older double feature disc again.

I'd get the Desperado/El Mariachi box set. It costs the same as Desperado Superbit. The extras on the Desperado SE and El Mariachi are definitely better than the minor improvement of A/V quality of the Superbit.

I know it doesn't help ya now but I got the boxset along with OUATIM when it was released. Best Buy had a great deal... all 3 for $25. Not too shabby.
