About this release
The mysterious, guitar toting "El Mariachi" walks the streets again to avenge the death of his beloved girl friend in this bloody actioner. The tale opens in a seedy cantina where a flustered American bursts in and tells how he just saw a stranger come in and kill everyone in a neighboring bar. He then tells them that the stranger was looking for a man named Bucho and he is heading for their bar. Suddenly, El Mariachi appears looking for Bucho, who uses the bar as a front for his narcotics smuggling ring. An enormous gunfight erupts. Still Mariachi does not catch the elusive drug dealer who must spend the rest of the film in hot pursuit while simultaneously dodging the bullets of Bucho's henchmen.
