    I saw the "fake" trailer with the grindhouse double feature a while back but this is evil.


    Lindsay Lohan?
    Don Johnson?
    Jessica Alba and Cheech Marin?
    WOW

    Did you see, on the same site, there's an article about Ice Cube making an NWA biopic.

    Solid interview with Trego in latest Onion.

    Machete looks really awesome. It'd be cool if it was pioneering in the sense that it premiered at the movies and on Cinemax at the same time.

    Just sent the link to my wife, we are so there when this releases. As it was stated in the Onion interview with Danny Trejo, the Machete "fake" trailer was the best thing about the Grindhouse movie.



    Oh and add:

    Robert Di Nero?
    Jeff Fahey?
    Steven Seagal?

    It doesn't get any better than a motorcycle flying out of an explosion with a mounted gatling gun on the front blasting.

    Yeah. I'll see this.

    The Trejo Onion interview is great.

    "Where did you study?"

    "Safeway. Vonns. Thrifty Mart"

    I ride for any short(er than "normal") action movie star. I liked his cameos in "King Of The Hill" episodes: "Octavio, that's not Jesus, that's Rob Zombie!". Like what was said above, the trailer to this was 100x more interesting than "Deathproof", that's for sure. This is going to be one to surely piss the chinstroking armchair critics off. Very violent and very awesome, it seems. I'm going to be there the opening day!

    Side note: It's like a pre-requisite for any deli in Los Angeles to have an autographed picture of Trejo displayed on the "wall of fame" above the counter. Anyone in the area notice that?

    If this comes out.....oh my God. Is there a release scheduled for it?

    That cast is ridiculous.

    Looks pretty cool. I don't understand why exploitation moves died off in the first place. The Bitches + violence * seedyness formula looks rock solid to me.

    Good lord, this has the potential to be the Greatest Film Ever Made. It's like everything I love all in one package. I'm not the biggest fan of Rodriguez normally but I do tip my hat in recognition then he gets what makes a great exploitation film better than any other director out there.

    As long as they shoot this as straight faced as possible it's almost impossible that it won't be great.

    Christ, what a cast. What a cast.

    Speaking of Danny Trejo related movies with an intentionally(?) bizarre cast selection and a "minority immigrant group showing whitey who's boss" storyline

    I had this same sentiment after I saw Black Dynamite (finally) a few weeks ago and actually did recommend it to friends as "perhaps the greatest movie I have ever seen." There was a featurette on the Blu-ray about the lead actress playing it straight and it was tender and sweet the way she loved Black Dynamite. I think it was the unwinding of the malt liquor mystery scene in the cafe that really took it over the top for me -- Tommy Davidson: "CHICKEN AND WAFFLES!!!"

    Exploitation has that power to truly be transcendent.
