In spite of the violence in his films, RR is not making action thrillers but action comedies. The violence is so over the top it is ridiculous and makes you laugh. This is seen in the entire " El Mariachi" trilogy, the " Sin City " Film Noir material, etc....
Robert I once made a film about 9-11, from original footage with my SONY handi-cam,.and returned to the Site were I filmed the towers every year for many years...It is called """The Soul of 9-11"" . I wonder if you think I could market the film ??? My Mother, knew I wanted to be a film maker, 2 years before she passed on,.she picked up a newspaper article and said, "Look Frank, this guy made a movie called "El Mariachi" for 7,000 dollars !!! That was the beginning ,..of my 'Filming' ....so I say to you ...."Thank-you' for the inspiration !!! Also,..your life would make a interesting film....or series. Let me know what you think !!! -Frank Espo
I read and enjoyed Robert Rodriguez's book 'Rebel Without A Crew' years ago when it was first released on the making of the movie, as well as seeing the movie itself in Boston when it was first released. I recall all the publicity Rodriguez received from making movie and how it launched his career but here's my question after reading the book: Whatever happened to Carlos Gallardo, Rodriguez's friend who starred in the original movie and according to Rodriquez, also worked as a location scout? About half way through Rodriquez's book he goes from using the term "We" to using "I" a lot more when discussing the movie. Gallardo, who accompanies Rodriquez to CA to try and sell the film, and apparently helps Rodriquez in several ways, seems to have been dropped completely by his friend Rodriguez about half way through the book's Post Production phase onward. While I understand that it was Rodriquez who wrote and directed the movie my big question is: Did Carlos Gallardo ever get paid for all his work and time and starring in the movie? If it wasn't for him, there would've been no "El Mariachi"!!! Just seems to me that when he didn't need him anymore, and he starts to get studios and agencies and production companies interested in him, and offering him large amounts of $$$$, he drops his 'friend' Carlos like a hot potato!
Loving all these uploads!

Robert Rodriguez made this film for a total of $7,000. Columbia Pictures picked it up and it grossed millions!
$7225 actually ...... so, wrong total.
I'm guessing he is talking about the $225 that he got for the day when he came to universal? 🤷♂️when selling the film
Antonio Banderas Looked So Different in This Film Lol
😅jajaja

The Bossman in the film played by Peter Marquardt ( sadly recently deceased ) is named " Moco ", which means bugger or snot.

I read and enjoyed Robert Rodriguez's book 'Rebel Without A Crew' years ago
when it was first released on the making of the
movie, as well as seeing the movie itself in Boston when it was first released.
I recall all the publicity Rodriguez received from making movie and how
it launched his career but here's my question after reading the book:
Whatever happened to Carlos Gallardo, Rodriguez's friend who starred
in the original movie and according to Rodriquez, also worked as a location scout?
About half way through Rodriquez's book he goes from using the term "We" to
using "I" a lot more when discussing the movie. Gallardo, who accompanies
Rodriquez to CA to try and sell the film, and apparently helps Rodriquez in several ways,
seems to have been dropped completely by his friend Rodriguez
about half way through the book's Post Production phase onward.
While I understand that it was Rodriquez who wrote and directed the movie my big question is:
