Watch it. Not only because of the spanish but because it was made by a 23 year old mexican-american

Film Fact:

El Mariachi was made on a budget of only $7,000 US.

The sequel "desperado" 3 years later cost $7 million to produce.

Goes to show how overpaid hollywood is and what people can accomplish with limited resources.

desperado 3?? was it straight to video? - icanrideawave, Feb 22, 2010
no, 'desperado 3 years later', as in desperado was made 3 years after el mariachi - cheeseisyummy, Feb 22, 2010

Yes Robert Rodriguez is a great director that has many great films under his belt. His first film, El Mariachi, is the only one made in Spanish, to my knowledge.
