They don't make 'em like they used to. I hadn't watched 'Desperado' in 19 years or so. It looks rough around the edges now, but it's still a superbly fun, quirky Latin-flavoured action-comedy-drama. The influence of Hong Kong action movies (likely those of director John Woo, with Chow Yun-Fat playing lead) is quite apparent to me now. The use of slow motion; the hero's dance-like usage of two pistols in elaborately designed, bloody gunfights. It's such a joy to see young(er) versions of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino, Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo. 😊
