1 question
Directed by: Robert Rodriguez
Starring: Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gomez, Jaime de Hoyos, Peter Marquardt
Visible crew/equipment: In the last scene of the movie, when El Mariachi is with his bike, just as the camera pans up the shadow of the camera is visible on him.
Trivia: When the Marichi is singing 'Ganas de vivir' in the bar to a full house, Domino is at the bar watching him perform. We then see a customer snap his fingers at her to get her attention, and to get a drink. When she serves him, we see him for the first time. According to the commentary, he is the actual owner of the bar.
