这是导演的成名之作，罗伯特自掏腰包拍了这部低成本的黑色电影，结果一炮而红。影片讲述的是一名心狠手辣的罪犯成功越狱后，来到小镇伺机找他的仇家报仇，仇家的手下只知道那个罪犯将武器藏在吉他盒子里随身携带，而从来都没有见过他本人。一名流浪的吉他手（卡洛斯•加拉尔多 Carlos Gallardo 饰）凑巧这时来到小镇谋生，于是，莫名其妙的他就被卷入了一场不知所谓的追杀中。追杀的场面被导演演绎的笑料百出，黑色幽默表现的淋漓尽致。
El Mariachi just wants to play his guitar and carry on the family tradition. Unfortunately, the town he tries to find work in has another visitor...a killer who carries his guns in a guitar case. The drug lord and his henchmen mistake El Mariachi for the killer, Azul, and chase him around town trying to kill him and get his guitar case.
罗伯特·罗德里格斯十分钟电影学校。浪漫悲歌。拍片上瘾者的梦想雪球。廉价而浪漫的歌手与杀手故事。杀手幕后。比较粗糙。粗糙而精致。小成本电影的代表。黑帮片还是文艺片？。罗曼蒂克消亡史（大雾）。
