* UnmournedDeath: [[BlackComedy Played for Very Dark Laughs]]. After [[BadBoss Moco]] is finally gunned down. Despite being surrounded by his henchmen, his killer directly in front of them holding a now-empty gun, their sole reaction is... to walk away. His [[TheDragon Dragon]] even strikes a match off his face to light a smoke, as a smug CallBack to how his boss used to treat him.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The next film in the series, ''Film/{{Desperado}}'', is basically a SoftReboot of this one that made El Mariachi a full-blown ActionHero in contrast to his everyman ActionSurvivor characterization here, and recast Carlos Gallardo with Creator/AntonioBanderas. Gallardo does have a cameo role as a fellow mariachi, but continuity nods like a recreation of this film's climax makes it clear that Banderas is supposed to be his character here, despite the discrepancies.
