Arguably the most badass film made for $7K ever, Robert Rodriguez’s breakthrough hit is dynamite in a guitar case and a high watermark of dirt cheap cinema. El Mariachi just wants to play his guitar and carry on the family tradition. Unfortunately, the town he tries to find work in has another visitor, a killer who carries his guns in a guitar case. Now, he’s in a deadly case of mistaken identity and outrunning drug lords who want to leave him dead. Made on shoestring with nothing but passion, enthusiasm, and a dream, this kick-ass action film is twice as fun as some films with 1,000x the budget.
