My guitar case is actually a flame-thrower

I just watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I’m still not entirely sure if I’ve just seen a terrible action movie, or the most awesome satire since ever. There is a scene where a bunch of men wearing skull masks for no good reason suddenly mount a machine-gun on an ice-cream cart and wheel it to attack a convoy of soldiers. There is a scene where an elderly woman with two bandoleers of ammunition fires guns from both hands. There is a scene where a trio of Mexican Musician Assassins save the President of Mexico.

This is a sample of the fascinating dialogue in the show. An FBI agent has been captured and is being held hostage by two guards. All lines are delivered deadpan serious, and in Spanish with subtitles.

El Bad Guy: You two stay here and watch him.

- El Bad Guy leaves

*pause*

Guard 1: Maybe we could torture him.

*pause*

Guard 2: I was tortured once.

*pause*

Guard 2: I didn’t like it.

Guard 2: It kind of put me off the whole idea altogether.

*pause*

Guard 1: Let’s go for lunch and decide.

- They leave.

IS THIS NOT AN AWESOME SCENE OR WHAT

Apparently there are two other shows. I need to find them.
