desperado & el mariachi are essentially the same film. there are flashbacks from el mariachi in desperado, but the story is the same. but one film was made for $7,000 & the other had a huge hollywood budget with huge hollywood actors & huge hollywood explosions & a huge hollywood sex scene. it's a parody of itself, while el mariachi brilliantly accomplished the same thing. desperado is robert rodriguez saying "hey, i made el mariachi for pocket change. let's screw with hollywood & see exactly how much money i can spend." ;)
