Edit this Page
Robert Rodriguez Director previously directed Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

Taking inspiration from classic westerns and in particular Sergio Leone, Robert Rodriguez directs a large cast of characters and their involvement with a coup d'etat due to take place on Día de los Muertos. It's the third film in his Mariachi triology and is a quicker pace than traditional westerns.

Trivia:

According to writer/director Robert Rodriguez, the idea to do a third movie in his El mariachi (1992) series came from his friend Quentin Tarantino who, knowing Roriguez to be a fan of Sergio Leone, also suggested the title. Tarantino is given special thanks in the closing credits. - Actually Robert Rodriguez intended on making a trilogy from the get go. You can read that for fact in his book "Rebel Without A Crew".
