Not sure where I read it at, but I do recall seeing it somewhere claiming this movie is a "Third" part to this movie. Okay, I know what the first movie was, Desperado. Does anyone have a clue as to what is the second movie was or is. Can anyone verify this info or does someone just not know what they are talking about. Thanks.

    I know ElMariachi was the "first" one, but Desperado is a rehash of that movie. El and Desperado are both horribly cheesy, I hope that OUTM is better.

    When will Hollywood figure out that Antonio can't act?

    Okay, okay. So I'm the one that doesn't have a clue as to what I'm talking about. Don't think I've even see El Mariachi, at least it doesn't ring a bell.

    I'll be picking this up blind. Depp's in this and so is Salma Hayek, enough to warrent a purchase. Looks like a fun, shoot'em up popcorn flick, just like the previous 2 films.


    Peace Out~:D

    Ron save your money, it's horrible. The CG effects are poorest Ive seen in a while, the story is slow and predictable and the action is boring.

    You know he didn't spend much on the movie, and that was the point. It was a good movie, fun, had some cheesey parts that were fun, overall pretty good.

    He's been my favorite actor since 21 Jump St. A TV show I hope will some day hit DVD. So, I gotta have it.

    Depp was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal movie...

    Not enough of her in the movie... especially since I'd just watched "Frida" which is generously laced with scenes Salma in the altogether...

    Damn this movie sucked, I'm sure El Mariachi is flipping over in its grave. However, I did like the Depp character.

    OUTIM was not as good as Desperado. My wife and I did not enjoy it. Johnny Depp, who always is good had to carry this one. Salma Hayek who is gorgeous had a great impact in little screen time and Banderas is starting to just walk through his roles. He seemed disinterested and just let the action take over the movie.
