Pendechos is Mike Siegel's love letter to one of his earliest influences - Robert Rodriguez's EL MARIACHI. The story of this action-packed road movie centers around to unequal brothers, a suitcase with stolen documents, the local mob and a bunch of weird characters they meet along the road. Welcome to the world of German no-budget film-making!

Filmed between 2000 and 2006, this new documentary includes principal actors and crew members remembering the filming of Sam Peckinpah's 1964 film Major Dundee. The troubled production in Mexico soon had become the content of legends and effectively put Peckinpah's career on hold for three years - until his spectacular comeback film The Wild Bunch.
