The New MACHETE Trailer Is Trejo-riffic!!
Merrick here...
I've been trying to post this all morning, but some tech issues on the site have thwarted my efforts.
There's a new trailer for MACHETE making the rounds- premiered by IGN HERE. I've coded IGN's embed to appear below - if you don't see it displaying correctly (been trying to fix this), the trailer can be found via the link above.

Too much dead space.
-
Mexploitation at its best!!
-
Oh shit I can not wait.
-
I'll take my exploitation films when I can get them. But Rodriguez at the helm... FUCK YEAH! Loved Sin City and Grindhouse, so I kinda have to be on board for this.
-
Guns, machetes, hot girls with guns, nurses with guns, Steven Seagal, Cheech Marin, Michelle Rodrigeuz with an eye-patch. If you arent on board, you never liked this kind of movie anyway. Why are you even reading this.
-
...that the original trailer that was produced years ago, as part of the Grindhouse feature looked much more interesting than what it has turned into. Now it feels like it's all about the appearances, by Alba, DeNiro and Segal. I'll still see it; but the bad ass quotient has been greatly diminished, since that original trailer.
-
But I would still pay a $30 theater price if it came down to it
-
That looks like a total blast! Sign me up.
-
had an energy and a cheesiness hard to match. This still looks great, but nothing can top that original trailer, in my opinion.
-
Could be the best, worst date movie ever! Looks as awesome as Mr.Awesome, who has just got a masters degree in awesomeness from awesome university!
-
She has one facial expression (constipated). She's just awful. Otherwise, I think this looks like fun.
-
Don Johnson...awesome.

This trailer really tones down the whole race war thing
by CRISPIN_GLOVERS_ACID_FLASHBACK
FOR ARIZONA!!!
-
...and a stupid concept of a movie! <p>US Border Patrol could check IDs for people who would go in and watch this silly film...and 75% would probably be deported.</p> The other 25% will probably have MS-13 tattooed on their forearms or multiple tear drops tattooed on their faces.
-
When a director has the world's attention, he/she should use that spotlight for something other than filming trash. Rodriguez could have shot something great here...in place of these constant B and Z grade garbage fests that he is all too eager to put forth. He is not growing as a filmmaker, or as an artist, rather, he is devolving into the new Ed Wood.
-
...that is often parodied on THE SIMPSONS.
-
That looks like the El Mariachi sequel you know you've been waiting for. In terms of the ass-kicking I mean...
-
man im getting to old for this shit.
-
No artificial aging and scratching of the film like they did Planet Terror and Death Proof? No missing reel? I guess it's a smart move as something that stylized doesn't crossover well to a mass audience. But that's sort of what made Grindhouse so much fun.
-
...you're just getting wiser.
-
yeah, looks like the world of El.
-
...I have no further comment at this time.
-
Segal is in this shit?!?!? STEVEN FUCKIN SEGAL!?!??!?!?!?!?
-
Was he the first trailer? I must've missed that. This sold me, much more than Predators..I'm getting a real War of the World Tim Robbins vibe off of the reviews for Fishburne's role in that.
-
. . . made this part of another Grindhouse double feature. Like w/ Pirahna 3 (no D) or something. Of course I'd be more pumped for fake trailers than the actual flicks.
-
when are "they" going to stop trying to force Michelle Rodriguez on us as attractive? No, uh, offense meant or anything, but I just don't see it. <p> ...And the "Introducing Don Johnson" gag was hilarious...ten years ago when Soderbergh did it with Julia Roberts in Ocean's Eleven.
-
Full of nonsense, but also full of going-for-it craziness and gutsiness that is endearing. Love the casting - great to see Johnson (though the Joe Don Baker look for him is a surprise) and Fahey looks like he really ran with his part hard - nice to see.
-
Bring on the machismo insanity and carnage. And points awarded to Nice Marmot for saying the fake trailers are more fun than the fake full-length movies; and to SuperMotherBug for pointing out Soderbergh already played out the "Introducing" bit, I was thinking the same thing . . . though I do want Michelle Rodriguez to chain me to a chair and beat me within an inch of my life, all the while giving me the low-tilt eyebrow scowl she does so well. Is that weird?

did i just see steven seagal and robert de niro in the same movi
by DioxholsterReturns
10 years ago i wouldve said you crazy and added STARGATE SG-1 is the bomb!!!!!
-
Missed that part from the original trailer... Hope it's still on the movie. After all 'He gets the women!' XD
-
im gonna pimp Stargate Universe again next month.
-
so that should be interesting to see
-
Was great. This I'd give a C or C+.
-
The trailer is pretty poor though, looks like they took all the fun out of it. Like, at least the last trailer knew it was a B-Movie. I guess they've got to do all they can to get asses in seats.
-
I would have much preferred an 80 minute feature that fit all of the original footage (with the same cast and dialogue) into an actual low-budget grindhouse movie with no stars other than Trejo and Cheech, rather than a big budget less stylized reimagining of that brilliant trailer with special guest appearances from Steven Seagal and Robert de Niro. They missed their own point. I wanted to see the movie they advertised in Grindhouse, not this.
-
July 9, 2010, 1:35 p.m. CST
My guess is that the studio is spooked by the poor Grindhouse...
by rbatty024
box office performance, and wouldn't want to release a trailer that suggested the same type of tongue in mouth tone.
-
Seagal and De Niro...together at last! Love it. :)
-
... that's some serious cast right there.
-
I fucking hate that guy. He can NOT act and his martial arts is liking watching a sedated retard try yoga. Ugh. This just flushed the crapper.
-
Check out the Crank movies which are like Warner Brothers Cartoons. Got to stay just within the laws of physics to be fun.
-
I am in!
-
I wish this was coming out this summer.
-
I guess it wouldn't sell if they did it Grindhouse style, though.
-
looks like they chickened out sticking with the grindhouse look. too bad.
-
Fahey, Ana Lucia and Hurley's Dad!
-
was goofy and fun, but this trailer is trying to be serious now. They're going after the wrong audience and that's going to piss off the wrong audience and alienate the right one.
-
...ya jive-ass turkeys!
-
Good Lord people, that movie bombed harder than your mom.

This is gonna make the Expendables look like a Disney flick
by Sappers Forward
Well, maybe not, but this is going to seriously rock. The cast is crazy...crazy I say!
-
...or do talkbackers complain about everything? Name me one movie that's been released in the past few years that hasn't been trashed by somebody here.
-
Inception and UP.
-
Plenty of us have been saying that the movie looks fun. The rest of us (or should I say, them) just like to hate on stuff because it gives them a pathetic ego boost.
-
Though this trailer sucks compared to the raw action filed trailers of the past, the masked luchador guy almost makes up for it.
-
loving the 'introducing don johnson' :-)
-
Playing a bad ass chick with a gun?<p> What INSPIRED casting!<p> Other than that, this looks like the bomb.
-
...the Moaners on the soundtrack? Female blues-rock duo outta Mississippi? Somebody, throw me a fucking bone here.
-
Apparently so, if people pay money to see this.
-
Rodriguez is dead. Predators is crap too. FUCK YOU ROBERT
-
Nice work.
-
...eat a chlamidic goat taint, you worthless redneck pigfucker. You've lived too long as it is.

Glad they retained him from the trailer. Still dont put much stock in Rodrigues though, hes yet to produce a truly great film.
-
And what a cast! <p>
-
That's what I care about lol. I understand this trailer though the first one was like propaganda film for Mexicans to rise up and kill white people. This one is still silly I can't believe some of you claim this is a serious trailer. Steven Seagals name made it silly. This movie will be fun and anyone dissing it here should just turn in their nerd card. These movies are made for us.
-
A cockroach was really killed in that movie, and Nic Cage wasn't involved.
-
Half of the cast will wind up in prison by the end of the year.
-
these fax "Grindhouse" movies. I love them, but the majority of theater goers don't get it, and usually will not drop $12 for what looks like a B movie. I love this stuff, but by the looks of box office for Grindhouse, and movies of the like, end up playing better for the DVD crowd. I will be there, but sadly I think I will be one of the rare few.
-
It made it from the camera to the cinema. That can't be undone. Rejoice!!
-
...except sweatier. Have to see it, but yeah, the Cinco de Mayo fake-trailer was better.
-
...getting introduced to new uses for broom handles and coke bottles when this is premiering.
-
Did I see Dr.Wagner???
-
Now we're talkin, ese...
-
Can you IMAGINE the bad press this movie gets once it comes out?
-
predators has taught me to never trust trailers bcos it had a good one, but the film was camel shit, so ill reserve judgment on this til ive seen it. but as trailers go, this was the sheeeeittt.
-
This movie is going to rock ass, no doubt. But this trailer pales in comparison to the original. Nothing could possibly top "They just fucked with the wrong Mexican..."

The May trailer was MUCH better!! What happened to the "film-loo
by AspectRatio235
-
...is that the best you could do? <p>Sheesh. I must be younger than you!</p>Wait -- don't tell me that you are one of those 30+ yr olds who lives at home with Mommy and DAddy in the basement, complains about George Lucas "raping" your childhood and think that a law that requires people to enter this country legally is "racist?" </p> <p> Go back to your slumber, you fanatically angry old kid. </p> Besides, Machete IS an ugly man. =)
-
...with all the dust and scratches this movie deserves!
-
What, they thought a more mainstream trailer would class up the joint?!
-
Now THAT would be counter-intuitive casting!
-
The trailer rocks my socks. Oh and I want to have a threesome with one-eyed Rodriguez and nun-Lohan.
-
....is like 14 handjobs wrapped in a Chipotle burrito.
-
Carney- "Testify" <p> Meanwhile, the film is looking more mainstream and less "grinhouse" all the time.
-
not a "Mexi-Can't".
-
there better be a grindhouse version of Machete because it looks shitty 'cleaned up'
-
Grindhouse was spectacular, and bombed because film goers are, by and large, idiots. Nor am I talking out of my ass. The cinema I saw it at actually had signs up that said "the missing reel signs are part of the movie" and "Intermission does not mean the movie is over, please don't leave or you'll miss the second film" because idiots actually thought a reel was missing, and couldn't understand what an "Intermission" was. <br> Honestly, Machete looks fucking awesome for those who understand that it's supposed to be a fun B-movie.
-
Yes, film goers are idiots for ignoring movies called Grindhouse.
-
Death Proof, Planet Terror and all the fake movie trailers in the Grindhouse double bill were made to look deteriorated, aged, damaged, but this new Machete trailer looks scratch and dust free. What gives?
-
they were quite doable, legal age be damned.
-
I loved the fake trailer, liked the real trailer, and now the joke's grown old and cold.
-
now that is a fucking action movie. If we can see some mexican girl's butthole being flexed on screen then perhaps i can sit at the back of the theater and jack off
-
I'd buy that shit for a goddamned dollar! This town needs an enema! And I'm gonna give it to them. CAN YOU DIG IT???
-
PUKE
-
Piranha is still hanging on at the drive-in when this comes out. <p> Yeah, Machete and Piranha would be a pretty good old school night at the drive-in, whether they're any good or not.
-
Is the content of the movie any different if they manufacture film grain and shitty audio? I mean, seriously, this still looks like a really fun over-the-top movie. No wonder I don't read the AICN talkbacks anymore, everyone here is too fucking busy hating on anything and everything.
-
DO you?
-
...the only place you can get it?

by TakingScorpiosCalls
Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true because we're gonna need a bigger boat since i looked back and saw Kurt Russell gotta eat. RICK ROLLED!
-
Michelle, and Jessica. My eyes are bleeding already.
-
srsly, I know Edgar Wright said he was doing commentary for it recently on twitter
-
He makes talented actors look untalented. He's all pose, no substance. He tries to make movies with little more than a fanboy's understanding of the genre. Nothing he's ever made is cared about by fans of even the poorest taste. Dusk may be the exception only because a real talent wrote the script. And Tarantino wanted to write out the monster bar sequence because it didn't work.
-
There's nothing artsy about that.
-
Gotta love a trailer that puts Steven Seagal ahead of Robert DeNiro.
-
this movie might cause a bit of controversy
-
I'm dissapointed,this looks like it has nothing to do with the racist story line it originally had. Racist movies appear to be "fun" according to Merrick.

Dusk till dawn couldve been cool without the vampires at the end
by DioxholsterReturns
wish at least they had vampires chase them across country or they have multiple encounters Twilight style.
-
i cant believe that the suits are worried about this...looks like a blast
-
CIA got you pushing too many pancils? You called down the thunder, well now you got it! If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes... there were a billion screamin' chinamen. I'll never put on a life jacket again, Chief.
-
and people say bay makes crap...fun crappy movies.
-
I mean the actor who will be playing him, Tom Savini. Great to see him get some work in before taking on Doc Strange for marvel.
-
Doesn't try to alienate half it's potential audience with gratuitous political bullshit like the Cinco de Mayo one did.
-
And you gotta hand it to DeNiro to be classy enough not to care.

I hope those out of focus dissolve shots aren't in the movie
by milesdyson
That's really annoying
-
Brilliant. Pretty excited about this. Can't wait.
-
This is the stuff that makes Geeks proud. I was scared that this would be some in-between grindhouse light because of that first trailer. This trailer sells it to me.
-
What a kickass bod, would love to bang the crap out of her.
-
who are convincing in action roles. She may not be a diverse actress, but she at least looks like she can kick ass. I hate it when movies put a gun in some waif's hands and then expect us to believe she's some hardcore fighter.
-
I think I'm going to have to check this out. Looks good.
-
Make all this stuff direct to DVD. The box office demands it!
-
Master and Commander and Big Trouble in Little China<P>Two films I've never seen anyone here bashing.
-
With a budget of 38 million, it will make about 24 million for the weekend, but add in cost for film prints, distribution, advertising and promotions, and the film will not make any real money in the U.S. They'll have to make their cash overseas and in aftermarkets such as DVD, cable, pay-per-view and broadcast TV. <BR><BR>I blame the issue on poor casting. Andrien Brody does not scream the word star, when you think of him. He is a who cares sort of persona--and Rodriguez did nothing to set this film up as a must-see event, in fact, I didn't even know that it got released yesterday, that is how under the radar I think the film is playing with the masses? The low budget is this movie's only saving grace!!! To tell the truth, most films should be, and can be, made with budgets this low, the rest is just false inflated costs, and padding the books.
-
Can't wait for this. Cheech rules!
-
I have a bottomless wellspring of hate for her that's going completely unfocused because I don't know who she is. Can someone ID this bitch so I can focus a little? Rodriguez has gone full retard I swear, god bless the guy he's having fun and he doesn't do anything half ass but if he would just pulled back a little he could be batting them out of the park instead of making me shake my head and ashamed at the thought of watching it. Michelle Rodriguez looks like she should be bumping donuts with Joan Jett, blarg she's gross, she's got the bod and everything but she's just such a dike I can't get interested. It's too damn much man, the right amount of spicy far out makes a diner legend, this is the equivalent of George Costanza's Dad dumping a bucket of paprika on rotten meat and smacking it with the flat side of a cleaver.
-
Wow, I totally forgot about these sleeper hits. I always love getting my Tarantino/Rodriguez fix every other year.
-
Alba can NOT act. Wow, she's horrible.
-
Rodriguez writes some of the most godawful dialogue in his flicks.
-

Here's the original "Machete" trailer done with LEGO blocks!
by MisterE

-
...who said there was a "90%" chance (not 75% or 85%) that this movie would start a race war? LOL Paranoid Republicans are so stupid.
-
well you pretty much admitted to being ancient for your particular affinity for a C level scifi show that really loves to overuse montage scenes in practically every episode. machete looks awesome, just straight up action flick...don't wanna see shit blown up and a badass mofo fucking shit up, don't see it. rodriguez usually doesn't disappoint, well in my opinion.
-
Because Jessica Alba is delicate and yummy...while Michelle Rodriguez is ghetto as shit.
-
This is going to be great...we are finally get to see fattass Seagal get his ass kicked...lol.
-
And yes, Stargate Universe is better than any of this. But this still looks great.
-
So expect closeups of her toes. Not that I'm complaining, I'm as kinky as the next guy, but honestly. Rodriguez & Tarantino cast women based off wanting to see their feet. Sickos lol.
-
they best be putting my girlfriends name on the commercials, dammit.

This will rock. But then again I liked Grindhouse.( at least Planet Terror and the trailers) You know what this movie needs is more cowbell,er, Fahey!
-
of the week. It's been known that Derek Jeter gave Jessica Alba the gift that keeps on giving. There is no amount of Valtrex in the world that would convince me to get with that. Also, Michelle is bi so she might be willing to bring over some hot chicks and run a train! Yeah, she is tough, but would rather get a black eye, than a bout with Herpes.
-
One of the worst actresses around today, I honestly don't understand how she still manages to find work. Not to mention she's ugly as a dog. I remember seeing her pop up on Lost for the first time and thinking, "Fuck, this show was so good too..."
-
Well, LOST turned out to be a waste of time and you turned out to be gay, so life can be surprising, sometimes...
-
Aint no one wanna see that skanky hos toes.
-
Tough, grizzled old motherfucker!
-
...when I saw Michelle Rodriquez. And you can bet Jessica Alba only appears in the first few minutes before being blown away Rodriquez style! Yeah baby!
