Spotlight On: Robert Rodriguez

From guitar-playing assassins to comic book film noir, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez has done it all. With his latest, 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,' about to hit theaters, let’s reunion tour with his most memorable films.

Rodriguez's first film, about a man with a guitar case full of guns, was shot for less than $10,000 and made quite a mark on indie film.

A loose remake of 'El Mariachi,' Rodriguez's first Hollywood film featured Antonio Banderas seeking revenge with the help of his guitar case arsenal. It also marks the big-screen debut of Salma Hayek.

His first collaboration with buddy Quentin Tarantino was one of their bloodiest, with George Clooney playing a bank robber battling vampires on the Mexican border.

Trading in R-rated action for PG-friendly adventure, Rodriguez started a franchise with this hit movie about kids who get to play 007.

Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek reprised their 'Desperado' roles opposite Johnny Depp, who plays a corrupt FBI man turned blind gunslinger in this violent action pic.

This faithful adaptation of Frank Miller's R-rated graphic novel has everything: Bruce Willis, punching, a Jessica Alba striptease, more punching, and, of course, Mickey Rourke.

Tarantino and Rodriguez teamed up again for their 'Grindhouse' experiment, with the latter writing and directing the ultimate B-movie zombie flick.

Rodriguez produced the film and wrote the original draft of the script, but let Nimrod Antal direct this quasi-sequel to the 1987 sci-fi action classic starring Ahnuld.

In this sequel to their hit film, Rodriguez and Miller team up again for what promises to be a meaner, bloodier trip to Sin City -- now with 100% more Josh Brolin and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
