Desperado (1995) on VHS.
The film that launched Antonio Banderas into Hollywood stardom—and he does it with pure swagger.
Back in the day, people drew comparisons to Pulp Fiction. Sure, Tarantino shows up in a cameo, and Rodriguez would go on to collaborate with him plenty. But this movie carves out its own identity.
Nothing beats the sight of a lone mariachi with a guitar case full of firepower. Wall-to-wall shootouts, slick style, and a soundtrack that absolutely smolders.
