I would've reviewed "El Mariachi" as well, but it seems the director's commentary was stuck permanently in the "on" position & I had no intention of listening to Robert Rodriguez wax poetic about how he made a flick for $10K.
Synopsis :
Some gun-toting musicians decide to take on a drug dealer in order to pay him back for killing the lead guitarist's chick.
Review :
Not exactly heavy on thought, though there's a couple places that require at least a minimum IQ so as not to be shocked by some minor plot twist.
Antonio Banderas gets to look & act bad-ass for the entire film. Plenty of explosions, gun fights, violence, blood, etc. Since Rob did much of the camera operating, the editing, the directing, & the writing himself, shit seems more coherent (as opposed to instructing people how to shoot a script, he got to shoot his script himself) than a typical action flick. However, that's really all this is.
Verdict : 6 of 10. Renter. Mindless entertainment.

Yeah. No mention of naked Salma Hayak.

A proper review of this movie is:
"Robert Rodriguez kicks ass cuz he got Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. Salma naked. "

I was the first to think of Salma Hayek naked!
Uh... when did she get naked anyway? I don't remember any actual on-screen nudity on her part.

Were you high during the sex scene right in the middle of the film?

He was focusing on Antonio Banderas - also gay.

In my defense I imagined that he had a vagina.
...too.

I stand corrected.
But wasn't it a body double? (Unlike Frida and Ask the Dusk)
I checked and she implies that it was really her here. I don't believe her though. She's a liar. A dirty dirty lying tramp who can't be trusted. A nasty dirty liar who needs a good spanking!
Comparing pics... oh what I do for research... they look like hers.

She was real in that movie, and used a body double in parts of Frida, but not most of it.
