This is one of Antonio Banderas‘s best roles. This and “Assassins.” And Salma Hayek, one of the very few women who seems to age backwards. She’s never not looked annoyingly beautiful.
Every song playing throughout each distinctive scene is worthy of listening to and vibing on its own and in full form, simply outstanding OST, another 90's signature that is sooooo sorely lacking today...😢
I mean that's what happens when you spend more money on preventing aging in a month than all of us spends an entire year just living and paying bills. Daily spa trips costing a thousand, professional makeup,etc.
This is actually the second movie. The first of the series is El Mariachi. There are no "names" in it and you don't need it to enjoy the others. The completest in me wanted you to know
El Mariachi was excellent. Even better since Robert Rodriguez funded it primarily by signing up for medical trials tests. At least that's what I heard. You don't need to watch it to like Desperado, but the story in his flashbacks makes more sense. The star of the films also plays the character of "Campo" in this film.
I'd have been watching this movie since at least 5-years-old, maybe 6. Gosh darn awesome! Best believe Salma Hayek left a lasting impression, even at my young age.
Desperado is honestly the most Robert Rodriguez movie ever...Soundtrack and cameo by Tito and Tarantula, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo and Quentin Tarantino cameo's, that unique cinematogrphy that feel like a dirty Mexican bar...and the cameo by the Penis Gun of From Dusk Till Dawn...It's honestly one the best action movie of the 90's ! It feels like John Wick before John Wick, the lone almost invincible gunner. It's amazing and that gunfight in the bar still hold up with that tension before and spectacle after...Glorious !!!
They definitely need to watch El Mariachi next as well as Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Yes, the third film is the weakest of the bunch but it was still entertaining to a certain extent.
@@tekkamanviper2783 IMDB says it's the same actor who played Moco in El Mariachi, Peter Marquardt... and it doesn't look like Carlos Gallardo in the white suit at all. But he's still pretty awesome with the trick guitar case at 24:09 !
@@tekkamanviper2783 no, Carlos Gallardo was the star of El Mariachi, Peter Marquardt was the guy in the white suit, he reprised his role for the small cameo for Desperado.
This is one of the greatest Action Movies of all time, with amazing and over-the-top action, a lot of great comedy, and an excellent cast. Also, the first time I ever saw Salma Hayek, and I'm still not sure that any woman has ever been more beautiful since the beginning of time. 😍
I remember the reason Rodriguez even did the Faculty was to get Spy Kids made. Kevin Williamson was brought in to do re-writes and direct, but opted not to direct since his original screenplay(Teaching Mrs. Tingle) had been green-lit and was attached to direct.
This is a badass modern day Western from Robert Rodriguez! There's a prequel, Mariachi, released in 1992, 3 years before the events of the movie. A third and final film, Once Upon In Mexico, starring Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo , Cheech Marin, Ruban Blades, and Willem Dafoe, was released in 2003.
I TOTALLY agree !! El Mariachi is just one of the best B movies ever made. Love it. Another movie in that genre that they never checked is Perdita Durango... it's got an awesome cast, great story, great acting, music.. just a gem.
Except Desperado is basically a $$$$ remake of El Mariachi - kind of like Evil Dead 2 is a more expensively made remake of Evil Dead. Worth a look, though, I agree..
The story behind the making of El Marachi is fascinating. Robert Rodriguez literally sold his body to science for medical research and had to stay at a medical facility for about a month. He wrote the script while he was there and was paid $8000 which was the total budget of the movie.
I remember Robert Rodriguez saying during an interview that he was able to film both an English and a Spanish version for each dialogue scene. I'm not sure if Steve Buscemi speaks Spanish, but if not, then pretty much every other actor in the movie would be able to deliver their lines in both languages. So, no need for dubbing or subtitling later on for the two markets! Rodriguez and Tarantino both had their big debuts at the Sundance film festival...Quentin with "Reservoir Dogs" and Rodriguez with "El Mariachi". That's when they first met and became friends. Trivia: The Banderas friend with the twin guitar machine guns, Carlos Gallardo, played the Mariachi character in the original low-budget movie. He's also in "Planet Terror". Another great villain role for "Bucho" (Joaquim de Almeida) is in the Harrison Ford thriller "Clear and Present Danger". It's part of the Jack Ryan series, based on Tom Clancy novels.
"Forgive me, father, for I have just killed a whole lot of people." I'm still honestly surprised they didn't use that as the tagline for this movie. I love this movie and always bring it up whenever there's a discussion about great twists in movies you never see coming. I remember being stunned when he comes face-to-face with Bucho.
The US has a strange tradition of showing the Second movie in a foreign set as the first movie then that movie gets way more famous than the first, We got Desperado years before El Mariachi just like how we got Road Warrior before Mad Max.
I managed to se "El Mariachi" in a theater in 1993, after seeing Robert Rodriguez interviewed on a morning show. So by the time "Desperado" was being advertised, I was well aware of who Rodriguez was.
The scene at the beginning with the guy in the white suit might be a bit confusing, because he was the bad guy in "El Mariachi", the first of those movies. "Desperado" is actually a sequel to that. So the scene where the mariachi got shot in his hand was actually the end of the prior film.
Just been to a concert of "Tuco" , who wounded Antonio Banderas in this movie - Tito Larriva and his band "Tito and Tarantula" - the iconic band playing during Salma Hayek's dance scene in From Dusk till Dawn. Fantastic band! Tito was urged by his daughter, who plays bass guitar in the band, to tell about the moment when Salma asked him to marry her. And the poor man had to say no, he was already married.🥲 We all believed him 😁 Another Rodriguez movie - Machete with Danny Trejo as main character and also lots of other stars.
The soundtrack was awesome! “Don’t look back!” Is probably my favorite. It gets stuck in my head and I replay the scene that it accompanies it my head.
The first film, El Mariachi, is impressive when you go into it knowing the entire film was one-take shots. Practically in-camera editing. I know for desperado they shot a lot of the action sequences on video before they shot film so it could be nailed in one take. They did film a shootout at the end, but the MPAA wanted so many cuts (because they used projectile blood squibs which looked too gruesome for an R rating) that Rodriguez decided to cut the whole scene instead.
Desperado is still to this day one of my favorite action movies. From the mix of action and comedy, to the photography, and of course to the incredible performances of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and Steve Buscemi (Honorable Mention: Danny Trejo). This was a really fun ride, and its pretty much non stop from start to finish
Random Fact: Desperado is a sequel to Robert Rodriguez's first film El Mariachi which was filmed in 1992 on a 7k budget and grossed 2 Million. It actually has the character El Mariachi as a musician and shows what happened to the woman he loves and his hand. The Titular Character of the first film was also portrayed by the actor who played Campa in the shootout scene. He's the guy with the two Gatling Gun guitar cases. He was the main character in the first film and was asked to return for a cameo in Desperado.
"The Mask of Zorro" (1998 version) Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones In "From Dusk Till Dawn", George Clooney was going to El Ray in Mexico. "E Ray" is a reference to a couple other movies: "The Getaway" (1994 remake) Alec Baldwin "The Getaway" (1972 original) Steve McQueen
The guy, who seems to be applauding, was the bad guy from the FIRST movie - "EL MARIACHI". NO, the ABRUPT ENDING was because of the MPAA! They demanded so many cuts, that Rodriguez decided to CUT the whole final showdown instead! The mariachi in "EL MARIACHI" was played by Carlos Gallardo, who was one of the three mariachis in "DESPERADO"!
Regarding "anything connected to Quentin Tarantino", I remember one he played in, a quirky film called "Destiny Turns On The Radio". It didn't do so well in theaters, but I really liked it.
I have been watching this movie my whole life. Loved it then, still love it now. Selma and Antonio were made for each other. Please check Once upon a time in mexico as well as Mask of Zorro with Antonio. Great reactions and the look Sam gave Schmitt when the spicy scene came on. Lol
Danny Trejo talks about how Robert Rodriguez found him and gave him one of throwing knives to twirl in his fingers and said yes thats my guy. He also talks about he learned to put on a mean face that speaks volumes in prison and its been useful to his career as an actor.
You could've watched El Mariachi first to understand the background of the character on how and why he became an assassin, before watching this. Because that movie was Robert Rodriguez's first film and very independently made.
26:41 ..."Did your brother kill the woman you loved"...Nope, that was another narc named Mauricio in the first Mariachi movie... He actually appears in this movie, in the intro credit scene with the guitars, right at the end, played by the same actor who played Mauricio in the first movie.
Just a bit of clarification: Bucho did not kill Domino, and she was not El Mariachi's wife. The guy responsible for Domino's death is Moco, the guy "clapping" after the first song. He is the main villain in "El Mariachi", and Mariachi and Domino only meet in that one, though they do start to have a bit of a thing. In the first film, Mariachi is played by Carlos Gallardo, who here plays Campa, the mariachi with the machine gun guitar cases. El Mariachi was made for 7000 dollars, which Robert Rodriguez made as a human guinea pig for medicine trials. The guy in the next bed at the trials was American, Peter Marquardt, for whom Rodriguez had to write the script phonetically, as the film is in Spanish and Marquardt did not speak it.
I actually ran into Carlos Gallardo while in Mexico (Star of El Mariachi) he was the Mariachi with the machine guns in Desperado. I went to the bar, Catalina’s Book Store and the drive where the big shootout was filmed. Carlos took us to his home and showed us all around.
@@ToniMcGinty sorry I didn’t read it all I guess. Thought I did but I must have gotten sidetracked. He took us into his home and bought us dinner. We met his wife and Mother. I mean he was awesome.
@@prato-24 I occasionally have that effect! And sounds awesome! Did you ever see the non-official Mariachi sequel (maybe it was just marketed as such) that he wrote, directed and starred in?
This is the 2nd movie in the "El Mariachi" trilogy. El Mariachi was Robert Rodriguez directorial debut, and was made for the legendary low budget of $70,000 by borrowing all the cars and the extras and cast were all unpaid, to pay for the film stock and squibs. "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" goes full big budget, bringing back almost all the actors from "Desperado" with the addition of Johny Depp and a few others.
This my favorite movie ever..."Lets play!" lol....this is the 2nd movie in a 3 part series, 1) El Mariachi 2) Desperado 3) Once Upon A Time In Mexico...El Mariachi is played by another actor in the first movie...
One of the best Rodriguez movie. Also this movie is sequel for his FIRST ever movie El Mariachi, and Desperado movie itself also has sequel - Once Upon A Time In Mexico. :)
THIS movie made me learn to play a guitar and wanna start a Mariachi band 😂🎉 Also Salma Hayek, by the gods!! ❤❤😍 She definitely made me take notice in women at a VERY early age 😅😂 Antonio being Spanish yet always playing a Mexican gives me a chuckle everytime lol like me being Spanish/Native American yet constantly being mistaken for Mexican or Latino 😅
If you love watching Steve Buscemi then you would love Boardwalk Empire series, he is the main character and it’s in the 1920’s gangster era! True stories about prohibition and great music! It be great to watch that with you 2!
This movie was filmed in my home town of acuña Coahuila before I was born bit it has a special place in my movie list because of that and cause Antonio is awesome
VERY different movie than Dusk til Dawn. I think this trilogy is amazing. The vibe in this movie is so sultry. It makes it feel like summer whenever I watch it. It has a lot of real, normal moments, but then it goes 100% over the top.
You don’t have to watch them all obviously, but this is the sequel to El Mariachi from 1992, and then there’s The Sequel Once Upon a Time in Mexico from 2003.
Double barrel guitar man is the original desperado actor.He plays Antonio's character in El mariachi before Robert got the budget to make this sequel 😊 you two will so enjoy the conclusion to this trilogy: once upon a time in Mexico ❤
Yay, Schmitts! This movie is rare in the reaction universe. Salma Hayek is stunning, & this may be my favorite role for Steve Busceme! Top to bottom, a great movie!⁵⁵
Iconic. The next one is hilarious too with Johnny Depp as is Planet Terror and Machette. Danny Trejo FTW. As Buscemi fans you should put Ghost World on your list. Buscemi, Scarlett Johannson and Thora Birch (American Beauty) in a not ghost story, but an awkward cult comedy about two school leavers looking for independence. Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite in many ways.
Oh, I know IMMEDIATELY what caused Sam's face in the thumbnail. I used to watch this movie on VHS over and over again. Kind of glad I couldn't see too much detail in THAT scene (which was done with chocolate syrup BTW).
Hi guys great reaction im a great fan of you guys reactions, i am from Acuña, Coahuila is the border from Del rio, Texas, and here ir where "El Mariachi" and this movie "Desperado" where filmed, love you guys from Mexico.
I loved the different colored shoes, she looked awesome in them. Him falling off the building shooting at the guys made me misremember that Hans Gruber was shooting as he fell.
This film was everything to me when I was young. I saw an advert on a late night movie show, and couldn't wait for it to come out. I was 13 when it came out on vhs, and got my grandad to buy it for me, and we watched it that afternoon.
saw desperado 95 in cinema, first i went in the wrong room and watched "seven" for almost 10 minutes before realysing im in the wrong movie, went to the wright one and missed the first shoot out. watched seven the week after, damn the 90s were glorious for movies and films. it made so much fun to go the cinema, because of the reaction of the audience. today its a mediocre or horrible experience
This is one of Antonio Banderas‘s best roles. This and “Assassins.”
And Salma Hayek, one of the very few women who seems to age backwards. She’s never not looked annoyingly beautiful.
Nice to see some appreciation for Assassins! I'm not going to pretend it's a *good* movie, but Banderas kills his role.
I was 16 when this came out and I was obsessed with it. The stylized violence was top notch and the lore around the making of it was awesome as well.
Every song playing throughout each distinctive scene is worthy of listening to and vibing on its own and in full form, simply outstanding OST, another 90's signature that is sooooo sorely lacking today...😢
Chemistry between Salma and Antonio is just timeless
Selma doesn't age, what a beautiful woman!
oh she does
Hollywood secret of baby blood
I mean that's what happens when you spend more money on preventing aging in a month than all of us spends an entire year just living and paying bills. Daily spa trips costing a thousand, professional makeup,etc.

@@pipeosaurs What's truly sad is that I believe you believe that.

El Mariachi was Robert Rodriguez directorial debut, and was made for the legendary low budget of $70,000 by borrowing all the cars and the extras and cast were all unpaid, to pay for the film stock and squibs. "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" goes full big budget, bringing back almost all the actors from "Desperado" with the addition of Johny Depp and a few others.
This my favorite movie ever..."Lets play!" lol....this is the 2nd movie in a 3 part series, 1) El Mariachi 2) Desperado 3) Once Upon A Time In Mexico...El Mariachi is played by another actor in the first movie...
check out Once Upon A Time in Mexico. it is the SEQUEL to this. we have seen it a few times. glad you both finally got to see this.
One of the best Rodriguez movie. Also this movie is sequel for his FIRST ever movie El Mariachi, and Desperado movie itself also has sequel - Once Upon A Time In Mexico. :)
Once upon a time in Mexico next. Was glad after all those years they made the final film
Awesome movie 👍. Thank you ❤️
So glad i watched this in the movie theatre back 1995... also Assassins with Antonio and Stallone the same year!
THIS movie made me learn to play a guitar and wanna start a Mariachi band 😂🎉 Also Salma Hayek, by the gods!! ❤❤😍 She definitely made me take notice in women at a VERY early age 😅😂 Antonio being Spanish yet always playing a Mexican gives me a chuckle everytime lol like me being Spanish/Native American yet constantly being mistaken for Mexican or Latino 😅
This movie is so iconic. But it's actually a sequel to the original which is called "El Mariachi"
Assassins is a great underrated movie. You guys will love it
20:53 I'm probably wrong but that staircase looks like the same one in El Mariachi when he's in the hotel.
If you love watching Steve Buscemi then you would love Boardwalk Empire series, he is the main character and it’s in the 1920’s gangster era! True stories about prohibition and great music! It be great to watch that with you 2!
Agreed
“Anything connected to Tarantino…” I guess that means we’ve got Natural Born Killers coming up then. One of my absolute favourites.
If you want all the Buscemi you can handle, check out the series Boardwalk Empire if you haven't already. It's fantastic.
23:55 The guy on the right is Carlos Gallardo, the original El Mariachi.
This movie was filmed in my home town of acuña Coahuila before I was born bit it has a special place in my movie list because of that and cause Antonio is awesome
Banderas was 35.....i still feel younger than him in this movie 👶
I like Antonio in Assassins(1995) with sylvester stallone. The movie doesnt have a great rating but Antonio is great in it.
This is a sequel to his Rodriguez film El Mariachi and again Salma Hayek is a something else in Desperado.
"Sin City" (and its sequel) and "Alita: Battle Angel" are other good Robert Rodriguez movies worth watching.
I love this movie. This is a sequel to El Mariachi, which is a great low budget movie from Robert Rodriguez.
VERY different movie than Dusk til Dawn. I think this trilogy is amazing. The vibe in this movie is so sultry. It makes it feel like summer whenever I watch it. It has a lot of real, normal moments, but then it goes 100% over the top.
You don’t have to watch them all obviously, but this is the sequel to El Mariachi from 1992, and then there’s
The Sequel Once Upon a Time in Mexico from 2003.
More of a reboot.
You guys should watch another Quentin Tarantino Robert collaboration "sin city" its amazing with many famous actors in it and "planet terror"
I think they already reacted to that one if my memory is serving me well.
@alainvosselman9960 did they react to "sin city" I don't see on their channel?
I use to watch this with my grandma. So many memories. I miss that lady
“What is the fucking number to the phone in my car?!”
Double barrel guitar man is the original desperado actor.He plays Antonio's character in El mariachi before Robert got the budget to make this sequel 😊 you two will so enjoy the conclusion to this trilogy: once upon a time in Mexico ❤
Yay, Schmitts! This movie is rare in the reaction universe. Salma Hayek is stunning, & this may be my favorite role for Steve Busceme! Top to bottom, a great movie!⁵⁵
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is great as well 👍
Some of the greatest soundtracks in this movie. I hold Desperado close to my heart. 💯🇲🇽
The guy who plays Campa (Carlos Gallardo), the guy who has the 2 machine gun guitar cases, is the original El Mariachi from the first movie.
Antonio Bnaderas didn't know how to speak english when he did this movie, he learned all his lines phonetically.
Really? He was in "Interview With The Vampire" "The Mambo Kings" and "Philadelphia" before this one. He spoke English in all of them.
No, he did that for the movie Mambo Kings with Armand Assante. That was his first role after he moved to US from Spain
Fun reaction guys. I know It's been mentioned here already, but please check out Banderas & Stallone in Assassins.
When I was a kid I’d use my brothers guitar case and put all my toy guns in it😂
yes, Sequel is Worth it, please watch it !
It’s lame as hell lol
I been waiting for you guys to watch this, I'm actually hyped for you guys.
Absolute masterpiece of a movie, and that opening is absolutely iconic.
This is the movie where I fell in Love with Antonio and realized my first Women Crush with Selma. ❤ Still love them both.
Iconic. The next one is hilarious too with Johnny Depp as is Planet Terror and Machette. Danny Trejo FTW.
As Buscemi fans you should put Ghost World on your list. Buscemi, Scarlett Johannson and Thora Birch (American Beauty) in a not ghost story, but an awkward cult comedy about two school leavers looking for independence. Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite in many ways.
Oh, I know IMMEDIATELY what caused Sam's face in the thumbnail. I used to watch this movie on VHS over and over again. Kind of glad I couldn't see too much detail in THAT scene (which was done with chocolate syrup BTW).
This movie is definitely...over the top! If u like this, try a Clive Owen movie called, Shoot Em Up!
I absolutely love this movie, definitely watch the follow up, Once Apon aTime in Mexico.
One of my favorite movies, despite containing every Hollywood gun myth that I always gripe about.
Salma Hayek ❤❤❤❤
this itched my "the 13th warrior" thing. i watch it every couple of years.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is good too!
Hi guys great reaction im a great fan of you guys reactions, i am from Acuña, Coahuila is the border from Del rio, Texas, and here ir where "El Mariachi" and this movie "Desperado" where filmed, love you guys from Mexico.
The sequel is a must watch.
I loved the different colored shoes, she looked awesome in them.
Him falling off the building shooting at the guys made me misremember that Hans Gruber was shooting as he fell.
This film was everything to me when I was young. I saw an advert on a late night movie show, and couldn't wait for it to come out. I was 13 when it came out on vhs, and got my grandad to buy it for me, and we watched it that afternoon.
saw desperado 95 in cinema, first i went in the wrong room and watched "seven" for almost 10 minutes before realysing im in the wrong movie, went to the wright one and missed the first shoot out. watched seven the week after, damn the 90s were glorious for movies and films. it made so much fun to go the cinema, because of the reaction of the audience. today its a mediocre or horrible experience
