Machete	comment	The story of Machete is an interesting one. It began when Robert Rodriguez first met Danny Trejo on the set of Desperado. He believed Trejo should have been a "Mexican Jean-Claude Van Damme or Charles Bronson" named Machete. Other projects got in the way, though, and Machete was put on the shelf. Rodriguez continued to use scenes he had planned for it in his other movies.In 2007, Rodriguez filmed parts of Machete for a fake trailer attached to the beginning of Grindhouse. After making another children's film, he revisited Machete and set about making it into an actual film. The final product, released in 2010, includes every scene from the fake trailer, and gained massive popularity as the quintessential exploitation action flick parody of the '00s. It boasts an impressive cast, including Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez, and more.Machete stars Danny Trejo as Machete, a mysterious Badass Mexican hired off the street to kill a Texas state senator. However, before he can complete the mission, he is betrayed and left for dead by the same men who hired him. Now, eager for revenge, Machete sets out to take down the senator and everyone else who gets in his way.A sequel called Machete Kills was released October 11, 2013, with Trejo, Alba, and Michelle Rodriguez slated returning alongside Amber Heard, Lady Gaga, Mel Gibson, and Charlie Sheen (as Carlos Estevez, his birth name).A third film, Machete Kills Again... In Space!, is in the works.

Machete / int_120d0e3f	comment	Adam Westing: Lots and lots. Steven Seagal pokes fun at his countless unstoppable badass role by playing a villain... who is so badass that he can only be killed by a self-administered seppuku. Lindsay Lohan as a drug-addicted, slutty Mafia Princess who likes to stream her naughty bits on the internet (willingly, this time) alongside her mother. And whose father makes some... unfortunate comments about her. Michelle Rodriguez as an over-the-top version of her usual sexy, badass Latina roles. Her death doesn't even merit a spoiler. Her surviving and largely subverting her typecasting makes her reveal at the end serious, ultimate badass. Felix Sabates as essentially the same doctor he played in Planet Terror, and, in fact, who he actually is in real life: when Sabates isn't appearing Rodriguez' movies, he's the Rodriguez' family doctor. And last but not least, Danny Trejo! For his entire career, he has been typecast as "that creepy Psycho Knife Nut Mexican". Here, he finally gets a leading role as the described character type.

Machete / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: How did Machete's hit on McLaughlin go tits up? A second gunman was involved. The nonfatal assassination itself has been compared to the shooting of former Taiwan president Chen Shubian, complete with "magic bullet" accusations (it grazed his belly). A political assassination involving a man named Booth? Hmmmm... It takes place in Texas (due to a mixture of Creator Provincialism and, well, it's cheaper to shoot where your studio is). True, Austin, but still. The campaign adds comparing Mexican immigrants to vermin is similar to Jews being compared to rats in the Nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew. An American politician who lives in Texas and affects a Texan accent but isn't even from the South? Hmmmm.

Machete / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: While the film is mostly faithful to scenes filmed for the 'Original' trailer, some scenes from the real trailers don't appear in the final cut. One scene from the Grindhouse trailer that didn't make the real film is the shot of Booth cowering behind armed guards while Machete launches himself with a Gatling gun/motorcycle combo at them. Booth dies in another scene and isn't there when Machete goes all Gatling Good at the bad guys. There's also Machete's coat uncovered a lot of machetes strapped everywhere. In the film, he just uses two hilariously huge machetes in the final battle. The trailer originally had Machete taking aim at the senator as he coasted down the street in a convertible, full on JFK style.

Machete / int_4da6ac	type	Rated M for Manly
Machete / int_4da6ac	comment	Rated M for Manly: The movie is a homage to the avenging anti-hero movies of The '70s. So it's got everything - guns, machetes, explosions, machetes, sexy women, machetes, and tequila - that made such movies so manly. And thankfully without the awful disco soundtracks. Well, besides the scene with Lohan. Oh, we forgot to mention it's a Grindhouse spinoff.

Machete / int_970c790a	comment	Big Bad: Drug lord Torrez establishes himself as this in the opening. It turns out he's working with Booth to manipulate the racist Senator McLaughlin and paramilitary leader Von Jackson to help him close the border. This way he can control the entire drug trade all by himself because only he knows the weak points, so he orchestrated pretty much everything in the movie.

Secretly he also has links to and accepts payments from the Mexican Drug lord Torrez, with his campaign to close the border really being to wipe out his completion and so it will be easier for Torrez to smuggle his own illegal products across. He likewise is linked to Von Jackson, the local Right-Wing Militia Fanatic group's leader, with McLaughlin regularly joining them to murder migrants crossing the river. By the end of the movie he's mistaken for a migrant by those same people and shot and killed by them.

Machete / int_e96e7845	comment	Ramp Jump: An incredibly egregious example at the climax of the movie: Machete mounts a minigun onto a chopper, and ramps off of a part of the scenery with a huge explosion behind him (with no apparent cause other than it would be awesome), and cuts down a dozen mooks with gunfire before landing.

Machete / int_eb6912	comment	Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Interestingly subverted with Julio: He's not a white dude trying to be Latino, he's a white dude who was adopted as an infant by a Latino family, and grew up immersed in that culture, giving him a far more intimate understanding of it than most white people could ever have.

Machete / int_eb6da8ef	type	Crossover
Machete / int_eb6da8ef	comment	Crossover: Danny Trejo has stated that the Machete Cortez in Machete is what the Machete Cortez from Spy Kids does when he's not taking care of the kids. As Robert Rodriguez intended to make a Machete movie years before he was able to, he inserted a more family-friendly version of the character into Spy Kids in the meantime, so this is technically canonical.

Machete / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Von Jackson's dragon throwing up after witnessing something violent. Lampshaded by Von Jackson himself. Torrez saying "puÃ±eta" every time he shows up. It's, sadly, a practically untranslatable Spanish curse word (the closest it can be translated to is "jerking off" used as an exclamation or adjective), but to any person familiar with Spanish, it's rolling-on-the-floor funny.
