So I’ve been hearing rumors that ‘Machete’ one of the faux trailers in the Grindhouse movie, will be made into a full-length movie. You can see the faux trailer on Youtube (WARNING- trailer is NSFW).
Favorite scene-
Politician: Have you ever killed anyone before?
Danny Trejo: *turns and goes :dubious: *
On Spike’s “Scream” awards show this week, they introduced Jessica Alba as “the star of Robert Rodriguez’s MACHETE.” I wondered if that was just an in-joke reference to Grindhouse, or what? Maybe it was serious after all…TRM
According to IMDB, she’s in there along with Rose McGowen reprising her role as Cherry Darling (presumably pre machingun leg) and the two Crazy Babysitter Twins.
It’s definitely a reality. I watched him filming a car chase and an explosion in downtown Austin about a month ago. Slowest car chase you have ever seen, but I bet he will manipulate it and make it look awesome. I can’t wait to see it. Little tidbit- on the car they used, the registration sticker said “666”.
Except, in this case they’re sexy nurses. Not surprising that they’re in it - Electra Avellan and Elise Avellan are Rodriguez’s nieces. It’s quite the family film - Danny Trejo is his cousin. (Oddly, I don’t think he’s related to Michelle Rodriguez.)
