Page 1 of El Mariachi / Desperado / Once Upon A Time In Mexico Box Set £17.99 at Amazon UK

amazon.co.uk have the El Mariachi / Desperado / Once Upon A Time In Mexico Box Set for £17.99. I think this is the cheapest and a very good price. Play are doing it for £22.99.

What are these films like by the way?

El Mariachi - Good low budget film which shows in the print.

Desperado - The best of the collection, a stunning revenge film.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico - Rubbish. Micky Rourke`s part is so odd its quite unbelievable why it was put in. Salma Hayek is only in a few a scenes and Mr Depp plays the same part as Pirates of The........ which he was good in but that had a lot to do with the script which is the biggest fault with this film. Avoid.

MY advice is this is a good deal(films per price) but pick the El Mariachi/Desperado only pack which is dirt cheap and enjoy.

Actually, if you look at the extras and see the original transfer from film to video, it looks rather good. The bad image quality of the final print comes from the fact that it was blown up to 35mm (from 16mm)... and this is the print they used for the DVD.

I like all three films. They`re goofy, quirky, funny, violent popcorn films. There isn`t a whole lot of depth to them, but they are fun to watch :D

And Rodriguez does a great commentary. :)
