Apart from the one new featurette, I think it is the same. Both El Mariachi and Desperado are getting re-releases with each getting one little featurette a piece.
Rik, if these are not practically the same, what are the major differences then? I have the double disc set and from what I`ve checked on the packaging, it looks the same as these re-releases.

Well the new release is anamorphic, and the 2-disc here on Reviewer states it is letterbox. Also, there are more soundtracks, as well as slightly differing extras. So yes, similar, but not the same. :-)

The commentary will be a nice addition but with the limited amount of extras on this new version I won`t be rushing out to get it as I already have the R2 superbit disc of Desperado which, IMO, has an absolutely superb picture and a DTS soundtrack to die for. When is "Once upon a time in Mexico" out in the cinema? Is this dvd a tie-in with the movies release?

Letterbox is a mistake so I`ve corrected it here. Both of the original films are widescreen enhanced.
I`ve had a look and the only differences on this new Desperado are Sneak Peek: Once Upon A Time In Mexico` featurette and it has an additional French DD5.1 soundtrack.
If anyone owns the original 2-film set, I can`t see the need to upgrade. The video/audio quality is fine and this is still available to buy from Play for just a measly £8.49. It may be withdrawn however....

Thanks for correcting that. :-)
I don`t think it will be withdrawn until El Mariachi is re-released, so proabably again, around September/October time.
