The second chapter of Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi series brings the gunslingin' Mariachi man face to face with a Mexican drug lord in Desperado (Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek. 1995/103 min.) while the third and final part puts the Rodriguez hero in the right place to finally avenge his slain family in Once Upon a Time in Mexico (Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp. 2003/102 min.). 2 DVDs. Color/R.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico:

Guns, guns, guns! And a few explosions as bodies fly through the air and crash into tables and fruit stands. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, like all Robert Rodriguez movies, is all about the kinetic kick of high-velocity action. Johnny Depp, blase and whimsical, plays a CIA agent who's drawn guitar-playing gun-slinger Antonio Banderas (long black hair flopping over his face like the ears of a Labrador puppy) into a ridiculously convoluted plot to overthrow the Mexican government. Along for the ride are a craggy-faced rogue's gallery including Willem Dafoe, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, Ruben Blades, and (to balance things out) the smooth, tantalizing complexions of Eva Mendes and Salma Hayek. For sheer trashy fun, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a step down from its predecessor, Desperado--but Desperado set the bar pretty high. For coherent storytelling, look elsewhere, but for action razzle-dazzle, this is your movie. --Bret Fetzer

Desperado:

It's Sergio Leone meets Sam Peckinpah meets Quentin Tarantino in this ultraviolent, mythological shoot-'em-up by auteur Robert Rodriguez. In Desperado, Rodriguez creates larger-than-life, genre-tweaking stock characters and puts them through their paces. As they stride bravely through an Old West lightly dusted with camp humor, they're periodically called upon to nimbly dodge bullets and fireballs through outrageously choreographed displays of Hollywood pyrotechnics. In this bigger-budget semi-remake/semi-sequel to Rodriguez's indie sensation, El Mariachi (made, famously, for $7,000), Antonio Banderas is the darkly charismatic El Mariachi, the Mysterious Stranger in town; Steve Buscemi is perfectly cast as his weasely, motor-mouth Comic Sidekick, laying the groundwork for El Mariachi's entrance by spinning saloon stories to build up his legend; Cheech Marin is a standout as the Bartender, who really knows how to handle a toothpick; and gorgeous Salma Hayek is, well, the Girl--treated to the kind of full-blown, slow-mo introduction the movies traditionally lavish on beautiful new stars. It doesn't add up to much, but it's a kick. Be careful not to blow out your speakers with the DVD's Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. --Jim Emerson

Payment


PAYPAL is accepted. Payment is expected within 5 days of closed auction. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PAYPAL ADDRESS IS CORRECT, that you are not using 2 different last names, or two different addresses. Please make sure your Ebay and Paypal addresses match. We do offer combined shipping for multiple lots, so IF YOU ARE PURCHASING MORE THAN ONE ITEM, PLEASE LET US KNOW ...and wait for us to send you an invoice with a combined total and a combined shipping total. DO NOT SEND 2 PAYMENTS...Paypal charges us a transaction fee on each payment you send, so only 1 payment for the combined items will be accepted. You are responsible for sending the correct amount, so pay close attention that you are sending the correct amount. Overpayments will not be refunded...it takes too long to recalculate, refund payments and start from square one.


Shipping


Buyer to pay shipping. I offer combined shipping. By default, I ship to the confirmed PAYPAL address (if thats how you pay) unless otherwise instructed. Actual shipping may vary from what item states, but we try to keep it as close as possible. It could be less or more, based on weight of item and distance it's gotta travel! I try my best to keep your shipping costs very reasonable! Combine multiple items for savings on shipping costs! PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOUR TOTAL IS GIVEN FOR MULTI-ITEM PURCHASES.

For international buyers, if I have not included a shipping charge in my item, please feel free to email us for an international shipping quote by using the Ask Seller Question feature. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS SHOULD WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AS SHIPPING CHARGES VARY PER COUNTRY AND SHIPPING MAY BE LESS THAN ACTUALLY LISTED ON EBAY!!!  International buyers, please understand that all customs forms will be filled out properly. Please also be advised that your package may be delayed thru customs and it is common for packages to take several weeks to arrive. Just because you received a package from a different ebay seller in no time flat, ours may not arrive as quickly....and this is not in our control. You are responsible for all fees associated with delivery and purchase of your item such as taxes and the such.
