"Ok, so I want to make a film in which a guy tries to escape from a building, cuts open a man's stomach and uses his intestines to bungee jump from a window to a lower floor.......Can I? Pretty please? With sugar on top?"
Completely over the top, but fun as hell Mexploitation.

One thing I love about Robert Rodriguez’s films is that they are usually a just a big piss take, he uses the typical cheesy one liners and has over the top action but some how makes it funny every time. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and is just a big ball of fun.

Action! - Three Auteurs: El Campamento De Robert Rodriguez
The best performance by Steven Seagal in his entire career. And that's coming from someone who has only seen 2 films from his.
But seriously, the trailer already gave us a hint of what must have been a bonkers and entertainingly violent film, but I think this film delivered on these expectations with a story filled with countless memorable characters, lines, and moments. Rodrigo captures like no other the typical grindhouse movie tone and injects a good deal of B-movie exploitation into it.
The film's success isn't just down to Rodriguez's direction and script, but to the performances of the whole cast. Trejo seems to be less the grunt from Spy…

"You just fucked with the wrong Mexican."
Machete, a Mexican Federale famous for his bravado and skills at taking down even the most hardened criminals is set up by his boss and suffers a devastating personal loss in the process. Three years have passed, now living in the United States, he is forced to take part in an assassination of a U.S. Senator. Betrayed again, Machete begins his quest for revenge.
Machete first began as a fake trailer in the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse and it was so well received that just a few years later it was made into a feature length film by Rodriguez himself. With him and Danny Trejo comes a star studded cast…

Perhaps too faithful to the B-Movies it pays homage to, instead of pushing things to the point of full blown grindhouse parody like the best parts of Planet Terror, Machete stops merely at recreation. Makes for a fun enough time, but not a memorable time. Still hilarious that this is technically a Spy Kids spinoff and even funnier to see Juni play a tough cholo.

Robert Rodriguez's feature length version of his fake Grindhouse trailer sees a long awaited starring role for Danny Trejo as the title character - an ex-Federale on the hunt for revenge after a set up gone wrong. The film gets off to a flying start as Trejo takes down a barrage of bad guys in ludicrously over the top fashion with the help of his machete. The film then expands into a polically loaded plot involving immigration on the US/Mexico border and a false flag assassination to boost a senator's poll ratings. The plot is a little messy but the key moments from the fake trailer are well utilised. The stylised and completely over the top violence bodes well with…

What happens when you figure out how to do something so efficiently that you suck out all the fun?
When Robert Rodriguez came to Hollywood, he was very vocal about the system’s inefficiencies, supposedly firing half the DESPERADO crew a few days into shooting because they were just sitting around. onset. He loved to philosophize about founding a studio to produce lo-budget genre entertainment that could run independently from Hollywood’s unneeded complexities. And when he founded TROUBLEMAKER STUDIOS in Austin, it seemed like he would finally be able to do it! With those resources at his disposal, what was stopping him from making a film starring Danny Trejo as a badass killer called MACHETE? Nothing!
But then he made MACHETE.…

My art teacher in the 8th grade showed a part of this movie to me on our bus ride from Boston to Washington DC. Faculty found out and he had to take a leave of absence haha

"Why would I want to be a real person....when I'm already a myth" -machete....duh
DISCLAIMER 1: I had not seen the Grindhouse Treiler so didn't know what to expect. So good for me.
DISCLAIMER 2: I share the Tarantino/Rodruigez love for the look and vibe of 1970s era b-movies. I think those films looks cool, I like the intense simplicity of that era along with the satire of "--xploitation" films. So i have some bias, but still....
This movie is so fucking good.
THE PLOT: Machete is awesome, bad stuff happens to him, he's in a pickle, hot ladies, mystery, fight scenes, violence, crucifixion, ethics in conflict, resurrection,…
