I bought this film and Desparados on Region 2 by mistake and so it sat on my shelf for a long time. Fortunately, my new computer plays Region 2, so I got to see it again in Hi Def.
It was as good as I remembered. No, it's not high quality, but it is fantastic considering that it was written, directed, shot, and edited by one person - Robert Rodriguez. It was his experiment, and he showed his talent and what can be done for $7,000.
He even used his friend to star in the film. The non-actor Carlos Gallardo was perfect for the role and made the film more believable. Even the little town of Ciudad Acuña added realism to the film.
An inspiration to filmmakers everywhere.
