Desperado is one of my favourite movies. i watch it like all the time. El Mariachi kills his brother and finallises his quest for vengence which is why he can throw his guns away at the end. He goes back to pick them up because he kills the bad guy at the end of El Mariachi but he isnt the major bad guy. Which means more people can come after him. Remember His brother was freaking out because his boss might kill him. While he had enough of vengence because he had to look into the mirror of his anger (his brother) he did know that others might still hunt him.
Desperado is the sequal to El Mariachi. El Mariachi is about the main character getting mistaken for a murderer. He is on the run. he doesnt want to hurt anyone. This Bar wench hides him and they fall in love. At the end the bad dudes shoot her and his hand (a scene at the beginning of desperado to make the plot make sense), he goes mental and kills them. In desperado he becomes the hunter and is desperate for vengence. The crime organisation killed his love and destroyed his life (Couldnt be a mariachi anymore). In El Mariachi he says at the beginning that his father and his fathers father were all mariachi's. All he wanted to be was a mariachi but it was hard because of modern technology taking the art and the respect out of the profession. He just wants to be a mariachi and cant because his hand gets shot up. This comes out more in Desperado when he is teaching the kid to play the guitar and has heaps of trouble using his left hand. I have no idea why people have thought it is a remake. It has the same main character and similar bad dudes but that comes with all sequals. I havent seen Once Upon a Time in Mexico but Im looking forward to it
