Did anyone notice that Trejo’s character in the Spy Kids movies was named ‘Machete’? Or that the character was said to have a shady past, in which really badass stuff went down?

…

Well, *I* just did.

I have read that the main reason why Trejo was not in the Expendables is that he wanted more money. I mean, I know he is good and everything but Dany is not the type of person who should be asking for more fabulous moolah, you know.

Shame really, Dany wants more money whereas the guy in the youtube link I posted just wants the opportunity. Seriously folks, you should check the link, the guy is really good.

They’d have to shoot this on a pretty low budget for it to be financially successful. If they base it on the trailer, I’m sure they’ll be able to do it.

While I absolutely loved Grindhouse in the theater,I think that Machete is just too much of a niche film for commercial success,just like Grindhouse,which totally flopped at the box office.I think it will be good though(in a bad way,of course)and I can’t wait to see it.

Isn’t Eli Roth doing Thankgiving? If it’s anything like the trailer,it’s going to be hilarious.

Yeah, that sucks that he is not going to be in Expendables. He is perfect for that type of film (it appears anyway). RR makes so many kid-friendly movies he is turning me off, but Machete sounds like it has some promise.

Machete’s gonna be a blast. I’m interested in seeing if they even attempt to match the movie up with the scenes they filmed for the mock trailer.

Too bad. Trejo is the man. I would have loved to see him toe to toe with Statham Def Jam: Fight for NY style. If you haven’t played as Danny Trejo or Henry Rollins in that game your wrong. Machete is gonna be great.

Yes…I’m very excited to know that “Machete” is underway.

Kofi, forget Dany Trejo, Sly should have gotten this guy to be part of the film!

We should back this guy up! Has the talent, not some vanilla-midget-poser like we see now *cough*Shia*cough*, and hey, even if you don’t think he has the acting chops considering the cast, with the exception of Sly & Mickey, none of these guys are thesbians either. Have you seen The Natural in Scorpion King 2–atrocious!
