Desperados - DVD

At the Tarasco bar in Mexico, Buscemi, an American man, talks about witnessing a massacre in another bar, committed by El Mariachi, a Mexican with a guitar case full of guns. Tarasco's patrons are uninterested until Buscemi mentions drug lord "Bucho". Moco, Bucho's underling, killed El Mariachi's lover and shot his left hand. Buscemi, who is secretly a friend of El Mariachi, soon discovers that Bucho's underlings work and drink at the Tarasco bar.

El Mariachi meets a child, whose father allegedly plays guitar for a living. Having been a guitarist himself, El Mariachi gives the boy some guitar lessons. At the Tarasco bar, El Mariachi kills Bucho's henchmen. Tavo, a man conducting illegal business in the bar's secret back room, follows El Mariachi outside and wounds him. El Mariachi then kills him. Carolina, a woman whom El Mariachi shielded from Tavo's bullets, takes him to her bookstore. Threatened by the carnage, Bucho orders his men to hunt down El Mariachi.

Meanwhile, Carolina tends to El Mariachi's wounds. He then goes to a church and talks to Buscemi. Upset by the massacre at the bar, Buscemi convinces El Mariachi to abandon his quest for revenge. They are then ambushed by Navajas, a man armed with throwing knives who kills Buscemi and severely wounds El Mariachi. Navajas was sent by Colombian criminals to kill El Mariachi. However, before he can accomplish his task, Bucho's men arrive at the scene and kill Navajas, mistaking him for El Mariachi.
