Robert Rodriguez’s Mexico Trilogy Gets 4K Limited Edition, Preorders Discounted
Director Robert Rodriguez’s Mexico Trilogy is getting the 4K treatment this summer. This collection consists of his breakout hits and includes a ton of bonus content as well, so if you’ve been looking to revisit El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, this is the box set to grab. Currently priced at $73 (was $100) at Amazon, The Mexico Trilogy is set to release on August 27.
The box set comes with a booklet written by film historians Carlos Aguilar and Nicholas Clement, and double-sided posters for each film.
These are all terrific films, showcasing Rodriguez’s talent for crafting high-octane action. El Mariachi was infamously made on a $7,000 budget and follows a young musician after he enters a dangerous border town and finds himself on the wrong end of a gun after a case of mistaken identity. Mayhem–naturally–ensues. Rodriguez would follow up El Mariachi with Desperado, the film that arguably put him and his star Antonio Banderas on the map.
