A drug lord who pretends to overthrow the Mexican government. A corrupt CIA agent (Johnny Depp) who at that time, demands retribution from his worst enemy to carry out the drug lord's uprising against the government.
The film is based on the story of a drug lord Barrillo, who pretends to overthrow the Mexican president. Within the drama, another of the principal persons is a corrupt CIA agent Sands who at that time, demands retribution from his worst enemy in order to carry out the drug lord's uprising against the government. Mariachi is recruited by Sands to take out Gen. Marquez (has a huge score to settle with the Mariachi), who has major beef with Mariachi to begin with. He sends Cucuy (the muscle for Sands) to shadow and keep tabs on the Mariachi. Marquez is working with Barrillo, and is about to assassinate El Presidente and assume power. Sands also convinces Jorge Ramirez (retired-FBI, has old scores to settle with Barrillo) to come out of retirement and take out Barrillo and Dr. Guevera (personal Dr. to Barrillo, killed Jorge's partner a long time ago), who brutally tortured and killed Ramirez' FBI partner.

Josh9125 08-22-2003, 12:27 AM Johnny Depp is really cool! I don't know if that will catch my interest though. My favorite movies of his are: Nightmare on Elm Street, Chocolat, Edward Sissorhands, and Pirates. :)
Brian 08-22-2003, 12:32 AM I liked Depp in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" but that movie has possibly the saddest ending of any movie I have seen.
MonarC 08-22-2003, 12:43 AM Don't forget "Fear & Loating" that movie cracks me up

What did J-lo say about Salma? :eek:
Director Rober Rodriguez has been a very busy guy. When did he have the time to do this film between all the "Spy Kids" flicks?
Nice to see the Mariachi back in action.
;)

What did J-lo say about Salma? :eek:
A supposed rivalry between Mexico-born actress Salma Hayek and Bronx-born Jennifer Lopez began in 1999 when Hayek told People magazine that "Lopez is American. She's from New York. She doesn't have an accent."
J.Lo had no comment when Hayek said later that what she said had been a tribute to her "rival's" versatility. Okay, we get it now.
"She's doing great because she's a good actress. She can play any American girl because she doesn't have an accent. Then she can play a Latin girl because her background is Latin."
Lopez responded with a terse "no comment."
Now, Hayek has been voted "Sexiest Female Celebrity," knocking Lopez down to number 3 in the poll taken by People en Espanol. Lopez followed Sofia Vergara in the annual Hot Celebrity Monitor.
Currently, Hayek is working on a movie based on the life of painter Frida Kahlo. And J.Lo? Ironically, she has been cast in another movie about the painter. Asked how she feels about Lopez in the role, Hayek had to say, "That's an unfair question. The other film is another film. It has nothing to do with me."
We presume J.Lo had no comment.

ok my bad I guess she had "no comment"
Brian Damage 08-22-2003, 08:08 PM I personally can't wait to see this movie. I saw the first two movies and loved them both.
MonarC 08-23-2003, 01:07 PM I love the fact that Johnny Depp is in it with Antonio & Salma they are all good actors!
isiahthomas 08-25-2003, 04:09 PM I wanna see Once Upon A Time In Mexico too. I wanna see it because of Eva Mendes. Eva is beautiful & she's sexy. I loved her in All About The Benjamins with Ice Cube & Mike Epps & she was Denzel's woman in Training Day. Johnny Depp is a great actor. I just saw Blow for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I gotta rent Donnie Brasco. This is a comeback movie for Antonio Banderas cause his last couple of movies have been garbage. I saw Femme Fatale with him & Rebecca Stamos & that movie was terrible & so was Original Sin with him & Angelina Jolie. I did like his Ballistic movie with Lucy Liu.
MonarC 09-06-2003, 05:27 PM if you guys go see it plz let me know how it was like your own review of the movie...
I saw a "making of" show about this film earlier today. Johnny Depp looks like he had fun playing his character. He's a rogue CIA agent who really enjoys violence. Also it seems that Salma's chracter has been reborn as the buttkicking galpal of the Mariachi.
I love a girl who can take care of herself...
;)
MonarC 09-17-2003, 10:21 PM I wish I had money to go see this movie... hopefi\ully I can get a job soon for school clothes :D

That movie is heartbreaking. And Leonardo DiCaprio's acting is awesome.
