I scanned the inside artwork for the Blu-ray, "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" recently. Currently using it as the title's backdrop in My Movies for Windows Media Center as shown below.

The full 1920x1080 image can be downloaded below for anyone interested. Turned out quite well considering my cheap-o scanner.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico (Blu-ray - Inside Cover Artwork)

Have yet to pick up "Desperado / El Mariachi". Was hoping that each film would be released on individual Blu-ray discs. Anyone hear of plans for this to happen? Not crazy about these releases where two films are included on the same disc.

Watched El Mariachi today - man what a great film, can't believe he made this on $7000. Anxious to see the other two in the series now.

You're just seeing them now?

El Mariachi, if I recall correctly, isn't really part of the series, but it gave rise to the guitar toting gunslinger.

Desperado is one of my favorite movies ever made. It's so raw and hardcore haha. Once Upon A Time In Mexico is pretty good sequel too.

Yes, had not seen this until today

. One of those films I've always meant to get around to but never had. Really got into. Good to hear about Desperado - will try to watch that one tonight.

You don't recall directly.

Desperado is a direct sequel to El Mariachi complete with a flashback containing recurring actors/characters.

Well, yeah, it cost $7000 not counting several hundred thousand to do a cleaned up sound mix (not to mention the advertising costs).

Still, yes, a good film.

I'll check when I get home but is your firmware on your player up to date? If it is try disabling your BD live connection.

Try checking the previous page...

Is this finally the standalone release of Desperado without El Mariachi that many have been waiting for? The Project Pop Art Steelbook Blu-ray & Posters: Exclusive Giveaway posting from the main page is the first news I've seen of it.

Yes, according to the text sheet on the back, El Mariachi is not included.

The one downside is I'm not sure if they properly decided which extras "belonged" to which film. It has the commentary and I believe the "Ten Minute Film School" featurette, and that's it.

Since this question is still being asked, I thought I'd post the back cover art:

Does anyone have both versions? If so, could you check to see if Sony created a new transfer?

Is the bitrate of the standalone release better than the double feature or are they the same transfer?

sandman slim · 09-23-2021, 07:35 AM

Sorry for the thread resurrection. Any chance this:

will have new transfers or digital copies?

grim_tales · 12-07-2021, 08:09 PM

I'm wondering about this set too, I have the double pack with the first 2 movies (US) and seperate release for OUATIM

No (they are the existing discs) and no. I own this new set, and it's just a repackaging with no digital codes.

grim_tales · 12-24-2021, 01:12 PM

So not really worth buying then?

Desperado preview card included with the Wild Things Arrow 4K.

Why disappointing? That Arrow may be giving it the 4K treatment?
