El Mariachi cost a lot more than you think to make it viewable to the public. If you saw it on a crappy 3/4″ inch tape (if you know what that is), then you can say you saw a movie made for $7,000. If you saw it on a DVD or in a theater, you was a film make for WAY over twenty times that.

We’ll have to see other episodes to judge the value returned for the $3k spent. For the first episode; rather easy money. The lack of extended takes really steals momentum and leaves the actor unimpressive.

“Favors” –what a great business strategy!
