El Mariachi (transl. The Musician) is a 1992 Spanish language American independent neo-Western action film and the first part of the saga that came to be known as Robert Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy. It marked the feature-length debut of Rodriguez as writer and director. The Spanish language film was shot with a mainly amateur cast in the northern Mexican border town of Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico across from Del Rio, Texas, the home town of leading actor Carlos Gallardo as the title character. The US$7,225 production was originally intended for the Mexican home-video market, but executives at Columbia Pictures liked the film and bought the American distribution rights. Columbia eventually spent $200,000 to transfer the print to film, to remix the sound, and on other post-production work, then spent millions more on marketing and distribution.[4]
The success of Rodriguez's directorial debut led him to create two sequels (Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico) with Antonio Banderas taking over from Gallardo for the character, though Gallardo co-produced both films and had a minor role in Desperado.[5][6]
In 2011, El Mariachi was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[7][8] The film is also recognized by Guinness World Records as the lowest-budgeted film ever to gross $1 million at the box office.[9]
After breaking out of jail in a small Mexican town, a ruthless criminal, nicknamed Azul, ventures off with a guitar case full of weapons and vows revenge on the local drug lord, Moco, who had him arrested in the first place. Meanwhile, a young musician arrives in town carrying his own guitar case which contains his signature guitar. He hopes to find work in the town in order to pursue his dream of becoming a mariachi like his father.
From the confines of his heavily guarded villa on the outskirts of town, Moco sends a large group of Sicarios to kill Azul. They are told to look for a man who is wearing black and carrying a guitar case, but because the Mariachi also matches this description, the hitmen mistake him for Azul and start pursuing him. Only Moco, however, knows Azul's actual face. The Mariachi is then forced to kill four of the attackers in self-defense after being chased through the streets. As the Mariachi seeks refuge in a bar owned by a beautiful woman named Dominó, he quickly falls in love with her. Unfortunately, Moco is not only financing the bar, but also has his own romantic interest in Dominó.
When Azul visits the bar for a beer and information about Moco, he accidentally leaves with the Mariachi's guitar case. Moco's thugs capture Azul on the street but release him when they learn that the case he is carrying contains only a guitar. A short time later, the Mariachi is captured and taken to Moco, who identifies him as the wrong man and sets him free.
Meanwhile, Azul, who has no directions to Moco's home, takes Dominó with him and orders her to take him to Moco's, or Moco will kill the mariachi. Dominó agrees to save the Mariachi's life. When they arrive at Moco's gated compound, Azul pretends to take Dominó hostage in order to gain entry. Moco soon realizes that Dominó has fallen for the Mariachi and, in a fit of rage, shoots both her and Azul dead. Suddenly, the Mariachi arrives to find the woman he loves gunned down. Moco then shoots the Mariachi's left hand, rendering him useless as a guitar player, and proceeds to taunt and laugh at the Mariachi. Overcome with grief and rage, the Mariachi picks up Azul's gun with his right hand and kills Moco, avenging Dominó's death. Moco's surviving henchmen, seeing their leader dead, walk off carelessly and leave Moco's body and the wounded Mariachi behind, as Moco had consistently treated them disrespectfully.
The Mariachi leaves the town on Dominó's motorbike, taking her pit bull and her letter-opener as mementos of her. His dreams to become a mariachi have been shattered, and his only protection for his future are Azul's former weapons, which he takes along in the guitar case. He rides off into the sunset.
The film was shot in numerous locations in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, located in Northeastern Mexico adjacent to Del Rio, Texas. The film used 16 mm film and was shot in 14 days.[10] Rodriguez had a $7,000 budget (equivalent to $15,659 in 2023), almost half of which he raised by participating in experimental clinical drug testing while living in Austin, Texas.[11] The opening scenes, featuring a shootout in a jail, were filmed at the local Acuña jail situated on the outskirts of the town.[12] The female warden and the male guard were the real-life warden and guard; Rodriguez thought it was convenient because it saved him the cost of hiring actors and renting clothing.[12] The intro bar scene was shot inside the Corona Club and exterior street scenes were shot on Hidalgo Street. The shootout was filmed outside at "Boy's Town", the local red-light district.
Not everyone in Acuña was pleased with the filming. Local journalists Ramiro Gómez and Jesús López Viejo were especially critical of the filming, and to win them over, Rodriguez gave them small parts in the film. Due to the high body count of the film, Rodriguez increasingly had difficulties finding adult men to play thugs, as dead characters obviously could not return; for that reason, when the Mariachi meets Moco's gang at the end of the film, the gang consists mainly of teenagers.[12]
On the El Mariachi DVD, Rodriguez devotes both a DVD commentary and an "Extras" section to explaining the tricks of filming a feature-length film with just $7,000. Rodriguez heavily stresses the need for cost cutting, "because if you start to spend, you cannot stop anymore." This is why he cut costs at every possible opportunity. He did not use a slate; the actors, instead, signaled the number of scene and number of take with their fingers. He did not use a dolly, and instead held the camera while being pushed around in a wheelchair. He did not use synchronised sound; rather, he shot the film silent, then recorded on-set audio so it could be synced in post-production. Professional lighting was replaced by two 200-watt clip-on desk lamps. No film crew was hired; actors not in the scenes helped out instead. Rodriguez believed in filming scenes sequentially in one long take with a single camera; every few seconds, he froze the action, so he could change the camera angle and make it appear that he used multiple cameras simultaneously.[12] Bloopers were kept in to save film: Rodriguez is visible on a bus with the Mariachi; the Mariachi bumps his weapon into a street pole; he fails to throw his guitar case on a balcony; and Dominó twitches her face when she is already dead. Rodriguez spared expense by shooting on 16 mm film as opposed to 35 mm, and transferred the film to video for editing, avoiding the costs of cutting on film. In the end, he used only 24 rolls of film and only spent $7,225 of the $9,000 he had planned.[11]
Rodriguez gave insight into his low budget approach to simulate machine gun fire. The problem was that when using real guns, as opposed to the specially designed blank firing firearms used in most films, the blanks would jam the weapon after being fired once. To solve this, Rodriguez filmed the firing of one blank from different angles, dubbed canned machine gun sounds over it, and had the actors drop bullet shells to the ground to make it look like as if multiple rounds had been shot. In addition, he occasionally used water guns instead of real guns to save money. The squibs used in shootout scenes were simply condoms filled with fake blood and fixed over weightlifting belts.[12]
Several aspects of the film were improvised. The tortoise that crawls in front of the Mariachi was not planned, but was kept in anyway.[12] Similarly, there is a scene in which the Mariachi buys a coconut, but Rodriguez forgot to show him paying for the fruit; instead of driving back to the place to shoot additional scenes, Rodriguez decided to build in a voice-over in which the Mariachi asserts that the coconuts were for free.[12] Improvisation was also useful to cover up continuity mistakes: at the end of the movie, the Mariachi has his left hand shot, but Rodriguez forgot to bring the metal glove to cover up the actor's hand; he solved it by packing his hand with black duct tape.
In the DVD commentary, Rodriguez describes the acting of Peter Marquardt who portrayed gangster boss Moco. As the language of the film was Spanish, which Marquardt did not master, he had to learn his lines without understanding what he was saying.[12] The running gag, in which Moco lights up his match using the moustache of his henchman Bigotón, was described by Rodriguez as a means to start and end the film: the end scene is a parody of this scene. When Moco was hit in the chest in the final shooting, Marquardt's blood squib exploded with such force that he actually crumpled to the ground in pain.[12]
Originally, the film was meant to be sold on the Latino video market as funding for another bigger and better project that Rodriguez was contemplating. However, after being rejected from various Latino straight-to-video distributors, Rodriguez decided to send his film (it was in the format of a trailer at the time) to bigger distribution companies where it started to get attention.
When the sequel Desperado was produced, Antonio Banderas replaced Gallardo as the actor for the main character of the series. The filmmakers re-shot the final showdown from El Mariachi as a flashback sequence for Banderas' character in Desperado.
For the scene in which the Mariachi delivers a song in front of Dominó, Rodriguez hired Juan Francisco Suarez Vidaurri, a local entertainer. Recording the song with little more than a microphone held next to the musician, Rodriguez pitched the voice to match the voice of Mariachi actor Carlos Gallardo.
The story of the film's production inspired Rodriguez to write the book Rebel Without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker with $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player, which chronicles this film's origins, production and the eventual acclaim and success it achieved.
Television adaptation
Sony's AXN channel confirmed that it would air TV series adaptation called El Mariachi. The series premiered on March 20, 2014.[14][15]
El Mariachi received universal critical acclaim.[16] Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes shows a 91% score based on 75 reviews, and an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's consensus states: "Made on a shoestring budget, El Mariachi's story is not new. However, the movie has so much energy that it's thoroughly enjoyable."[17] Metacritic reports a 73 out of 100 rating based on 9 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[18]
El Mariachi won multiple international awards, including the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature (beating out MTV Movie Award for Best Movie winner Menace II Society). Writer/producer/director Rodriguez went on to gain international fame; he was interviewed on such shows as Sábado Gigante and proceeded thereafter to secure Hollywood-backing for films such as The Faculty and Sin City. In December 2011, El Mariachi was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.[19] Citing it as the film that "helped usher in the independent movie boom of the early 1990s", the Registry gave special mention to director Robert Rodriguez and his ability to merge two separate genres of films—"the narcotraficante film, a Mexican police genre, and the transnational warrior-action film, itself rooted in Hollywood Westerns"—successfully "despite the constraints of a shoestring budget."[20]
gerg rev g I finally got around to seeing the movie and it is very very very good 👍👍 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Audience Member I’ve been meaning to watch this film for a long time, but when it left Pluto I ran out of options. Well it came back for this month only, and I knew I had to give it my time. Now that I’ve sat down and truly watched it I just got to say that was so much better than expected. It’s like a Leone Spaghetti Western, and a Blaxsploitation movie had an awesome baby. The unbelievably low budget allows for the creativity and passion to just ooze out of every corner of the film. This film proves how great of a director Robert Rodriguez really is, and was definitely worth the watch. Unfortunately I’m deducting a star because of my own fault, I don’t know Spanish and you can’t expect a dub to do a movie much justice. 4/5 stars, great film and was definitely worth every second of my time. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Logan M A charming and energetic classic with a great view of the city where it was made and great action, made even more impressive by the film's mere 7,000 dollar budget. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review maggie p Great movie!!!! Great story, great cast, great everything! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member He might be a big name in Hollywood today, but back in the early 90s, the then 23-year-old Robert Rodriguez made the film El Mariachi more or less on his own, with a paltry budget, and his career subsequently took off. I'd heard a lot of things about this movie, mostly about how it was constructed around the dearth of funds, and having seen it, I'm honestly surprised how well they did with so little. It doesn't tell the most original story or have the most fleshed out characters, but it takes what it has and does the best it can with it, giving us a movie which is both admirable and entertaining. I loved how the films 2 storylines kept crossing over in the smartest ways, and the action scenes, while stripped down for monetary reasons, are still pretty exciting, if you can get over the fact that the close-up style of directing effectively removes any sense of spatial geography. I had no idea where any characters were in relation to each other and its clear that, even when they're in a chase scene, the actors are passing by the same places over and over again. The ending is a bit anti-climactic, but since most of the budget would have been spent by then, I can understand why it turned out that way. Issues aside, El Mariachi is a damn good film that put a popular and influential filmmaker on the map, and shows that, when it comes to movies, if the story being told is compelling, everything else will fall into place. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review matthew d A fantastically stylish directorial debut from Robert Rodriguez! Director Robert Rodriguez' Spanish-language, indie, neo-Western El Mariachi (1992) is a thing of beauty. Made with the lowest budget you can imagine of around $7,000, Rodriguez milks every peso out of this little Mexican town. It's amazing that director Robert Rodriguez and lead actor Carlos Gallardo put up the money for El Mariachi as producers. It's hard to believe such a stylish film got made, let alone that this was Rodriguez' first feature film. El Mariachi is charming, funny, and exciting with a thrilling case of mistaken identity for his crime narrative with Western style. Guns blazing and casual jokes galore, El Mariachi shows what an innovative director can do with little to nothing for his production budget. Rodriguez' direction genuinely feels like an intense 90's action packed, crime thriller with a relaxing Western feel. You can tell how influenced by The Shaw Brothers' 70s films Rodriguez was, let alone Sergio Leone's legendary Westerns. You get 70s style dream sequences, brutal 80s style action shootouts, and pleasant 90s raw romance and humor from El Mariachi. Robert Rodriguez was El Mariachi's writer, editor, and cinematographer in addition to its director. Rodriguez' neat writing provides a simple crime story about a traveling musician mistaken for a killer crook out for blood. It's actually complex in how people keep getting mistaken for one another. I love the natural conversations, absurd jokes, tender romance, and creative crime narrative. Rodriguez was a crafty writer early on already. Robert Rodriguez' editing is very slick with mature cuts that a more experienced director would be making. His cuts to close-ups are always striking. I love how artful his edits are for El Mariachi. It's like Rodriguez was directing an art film as much as an exciting action picture. He cuts scenes with a deliberately slow burn pacing like old Westerns. El Mariachi is only 81 minutes and still moves along pretty quickly. I was certainly entertained by the fun character moments besides the cool violence. Robert Rodriguez' cinematography speaks for itself. His moving camera finds faces and blood splatter with equal beauty. He has a clear low budget as all Rodriguez could probably afford was handheld shooting, but El Mariachi looks great and has many fascinating shots all the same. Carlos Gallardo is charming, handsome, and hilarious as "El Mariachi." His hapless hero is funny, natural, and likable. I love Gallardo's smooth and soaring vocals during El Mariachi's lovely musical numbers. His Mariachi music is honestly my favorite aspect of El Mariachi, even more so than the bloody shootouts. He has intense romantic chemistry with the pretty and charming Consuelo Gómez as the kind bar owner Dominó. She's really funny and mesmerizing in El Mariachi. Peter Marquardt is great as the sleazy creep crime boss Mauricio known as "Moco." I loved the fat and intense Reinol Martínez as Azul. His action shootouts are so cool and he's got a funny sense of direct humor. Edith Gonzalez is very sexy as Moco's main girl Electra, especially in her purple bikini. It's fun that all the other supporting cast were all locals that Rodriguez used. Composers Eric Guthrie, Chris Knudson, Álvaro Rodríguez, Cecilio Rodríguez, and Mark Trujillo's score for El Mariachi. They have dramatic drums with eerie synth lines that I loved hearing. The dark synth melodies in the backdrop really give El Mariachi a heavy atmosphere. The pleasant Mariachi music is really wonderful and always fun to hear. In all, El Mariachi is well worth watching for fun characters and killer action sequences from budding filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.

TRIBUNNEWSWIKI.COM - El Mariachi adalah film aksi asal Amerika tahun 1992 yang merupakan film pertama dalam kisah yang kemudian dikenal sebagai Trilogi Meksiko karya Robert Rodriguez.
Film El Mariachi menandai debut panjang fitur Rodriguez sebagai penulis dan sutradara.
Film El Mariachi yang berbahasa Spanyol ini dibuat dengan para pemain amatir di daerah perbatasan utara Meksiko Acuca, Coahuila, Meksiko di seberang Del Rio, Texas, kota kelahiran aktor utama, Carlos Gallardo.
Film dengan budget 7.225 dollar Amerika Serikat awalnya ditujukan untuk pasar perfilman di Meksiko, tetapi para eksekutif di Columbia Pictures menyukai film tersebut dan membeli hak distribusi untuk Amerika Serikat.
Columbia mulanya menghabiskan 200.000 dollar Amerika Serikat untuk mentransfer film El Mariachi ini kedalam set film lebih modern, dan kemudian menghabiskan ribuan dollar lebih untuk pemasaran dan distribusi film.
Keberhasilan debut sutradara Rodriguez membawanya untuk membuat dua film lanjutan, Desperado (1995) dan Once Upon a Time at Meksiko (2003).
Untuk dua sekuel selanjutnya, Antonio Banderas mengambil alih peran dari Carlos Gallardo untuk karakter utama El Mariachi, meskipun Gallardo bersama-sama ikut memproduksi kedua film dan terlibat dalam film Desperado.

Setelah keluar dari penjara di sebuah kota kecil Meksiko, seorang penjahat kejam, dijuluki Azul, pergi dengan kasus gitar penuh senjata dan bersumpah untuk membalas dendam pada raja kartel narkoba, Moco, yang telah membuatnya dipenjara.
Sementara itu, seorang musisi muda tiba di kota membawa kotak gitar sendiri yang berisi gitar khasnya.
Dia berharap untuk menemukan pekerjaan di kota untuk mengejar mimpinya menjadi mariachi seperti ayahnya.
Dari batas-batas vilanya yang dijaga ketat di pinggiran kota, Moco mengirim sekelompok besar pembunuh bayaran untuk membunuh Azul.
Mereka diberitahu untuk mencari seorang pria yang mengenakan pakaian hitam dan membawa gitar, tetapi karena Mariachi juga cocok dengan deskripsi ini, pembunuh bayaran mengira dia untuk Azul dan mulai mengejar dia.
Namun, hanya Moco yang tahu wajah Azul yang sebenarnya.
Mariachi kemudian dipaksa untuk membunuh empat penyerang untuk membela diri setelah dikejar-kejar di jalanan.
Ketika Mariachi mencari perlindungan di sebuah bar milik seorang wanita cantik bernama Dominó, ia dengan cepat jatuh cinta padanya. Sayangnya, Moco tidak hanya membiayai bar, tetapi juga memiliki minat romantis sendiri di Dominó.
Ketika Azul mengunjungi bar untuk minum bir dan informasi tentang Moco, ia secara tidak sengaja pergi dengan kasing gitar Mariachi.
Preman Moco menangkap Azul di jalan tetapi membiarkannya pergi ketika mereka mengetahui bahwa kasing yang dibawanya hanya berisi gitar.

Tidak lama kemudian, Mariachi ditangkap dan dibawa ke Moco, yang mengidentifikasi dia sebagai orang yang salah dan membebaskannya.
Sementara itu, Azul, yang tidak memiliki arah ke rumah Moco, membawa Dominó bersamanya dan memerintahkannya untuk membawanya ke Moco, atau Moco akan membunuh mariachi. Dominó setuju untuk menyelamatkan nyawa Mariachi.
Ketika mereka tiba di markas Moco yang terjaga keamanannya, Azul berpura-pura mengambil sandera Dominó untuk mendapatkan izin masuk.
Moco segera menyadari bahwa Dominó telah jatuh cinta pada Mariachi dan, dalam kemarahan, menembak dia dan Azul.
Tiba-tiba, sang Mariachi tiba untuk menemukan wanita yang ia cintai ditembak mati. Moco kemudian menembak tangan kiri Mariachi, membuatnya tidak berguna sebagai pemain gitar, dan mulai mengejek dan menertawakan Mariachi.
Diatasi dengan kesedihan dan kemarahan, Mariachi mengambil senjata Azul dengan tangan kanannya dan membunuh Moco, membalas dendam atas kematian Domino.
Antek Moco yang masih hidup, melihat pemimpin mereka mati, berjalan pergi dan meninggalkan tubuh Moco dan Mariachi yang terluka di belakang.
Mariachi meninggalkan kota dengan sepeda motor Domino, mengambil pit bull dan pembuka suratnya untuk mengingatnya.
Mimpinya untuk menjadi mariachi telah hancur, dan satu-satunya perlindungan bagi masa depannya adalah senjata Azul yang dulu ia bawa dalam kotak gitar.
