Desperado (film) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Desperado is a film made in 1995 directed by Robert Rodriguez. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. It is the sequel to El Mariachi.

Banderas plays El Mariachi, a former guitarist who seeks revenge on the man who killed the woman he loved. His quest leads him to battle with a drug lord. He also falls in love with Carolina (played by Hayek), a woman who works for the drug lord.

Desperado helped enhance the fame of Antonio Banderas and introduced Salma Hayek to the American audiences. In 2003, a sequel of Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, was released.

Salma Hayek's role in the film is the first starring role for a Mexican actress in a Hollywood film since Dolores del Rio in the 1940s. The studio initially wanted a blonde to play the role; after a screen test Hayek was the clear choice for the character.
