In this follow-up to the 1992 original, the Mariachi plunges headfirst into the dark border underworld when he follows a trail of blood to the last of the infamous Mexican druglords, Bucho, for an action-packed, bullet-riddled showdown. With the help of his best friend and a beautiful book store owner, the Mariachi tracks Bucho, takes on his army of desperados, and leaves a trail of blood of his own.

Antonio Banderas is the ultimate in sexy action cool as the guitarist and lover boy who has no problem with premature ejaculation except when it comes to guns. This killer mariachi can barely unholster before he's firing off. His chief target is Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida), a Mexican drug baron who provides a string of thugs for our hero to pop while Carolina (Salma Hayek), the babe owner of a border-town bookstore that does no business, kisses his wounds.

Does this cross between Sergio Leone's…
