(Partly?) Mexican
American director who debuted with the short film "Bedhead" and after that went on to direct the $7,000 action flick "El mariachi" in Spanish, inspired by
John Woo films. Rodriguez later stated that after seeing those cool Asian heroes, he wanted to make a film with a Latino hero. And that's what he did, with much corazón, so to say, meaning lots of heart and humour as well as violence. His next film was "Desperado
?", a sequel of "[El mariachi]
?" starring Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. He crossed over into the horror genre with "[From Dusk Till Dawn]
?" and re-wrote "[The Invasion of the Body Snatchers]
?" with his awesome teenager horror sci-fi flick "[The Faculty]
?".
