Ep. 75 El Mariachi (1992): Couch cushion budget

from The B Movie Beatdown · host Jordan and Alicia

Guns in a Guitar Case! This week we're taking a trip south of the border with Robert Rodriguez's debut film, EL MARIACHI! Made with $7k and a dream, it's a pinnacle in low budget filmmaking; real townspeople extras, homemade stunts and effects, and pure indie movie magic. It's fast, it's gritty, it's worth its weight in coconuts. Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail: [email protected] Letterboxd: @Absolute_trash @SlenderJames
