Desperado(1995) w/ Isabel of Hearsing Around

 

We are starting a brand new series on a filmmaker who did so much himself before the studios got involvded and even after they were involved he still kept his signature style. Yes folks we are honering the works of Robert Rodriguez.

We are talking about the follow up to El Mariachi with Desperado. The action movie estravganza starring Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek
