Director Robert Rodriguez picks up where his successful independent debut El Mariachi left off with this slam-bang South of the Border action saga. Bucho (Joaquim DeAlmeida) is a wealthy but casually bloodthirsty drug kingpin who rules a seedy Mexican border town. Bucho and his men make the mistake of angering El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) a former musician who now carries an arsenal in his guitar case. Bucho was responsible for the death of El Mariachi s girlfriend and put a bullet through his fretting hand making him unable to play the guitar. Bent on revenge the musician-turned-killing machine arrives in town to put Bucho out of business though he finds few allies except for Carolina (Salma Hayek) who runs a bookstore that doesn t seem to attract many readers. Desperado features supporting performances from Cheech Marin as a cynical bartender Steve Buscemi as the cantina patron who sets up the story and Quentin Tarantino as a man with a really terrible joke to tell.
