I was watching El Mariachi and wanted to immediately throw in Desperado so that I could watch the man in black own everyone with his knives.

[daywalker2007]

i thought Machete was just a fake trailer for grindhouse?

is he really making a movie of Machete?!!

if so, great!!

 

[Rac]

The man spend almost all of the 60's in jail. He don't just look like badass, he is badass.

Trejo ftw.

 

[Pile-Ou-Face]

Maybe he's a real badass, but Oh my..., he's so incredible !

I want to see Machete, now !

Yeah, Machete is in production for a 2008 release!

 

[Pile-Ou-Face]

But I thought Machete was planned for the DVD release of Grindhouse, initially ?

[Pile-Ou-Face]

Yeah, that's him. t:

 

[Carmine Falcone]

He looks straight into my soul.



And he has a message too: I'm more badass than you'll ever be.

 

[Pile-Ou-Face]

I just think ...

Spoiler

Is there at least a film in which he doesn't die ? t:

 

[Gilpesh]

No. There isn't.

 

[Pile-Ou-Face]

Maybe in Le Jaguar

 

[Gilpesh]

Oh, he has definitely lived through a couple. But in a perfect world, he's like 0 for 100 something.

"Trejo has said that he is amazed when he walks the streets where he used to commit crimes and children ask him for autographs. He also pointed out that he often chooses to play bad guys to teach younger audiences that bad guys often die or go to prison, and that one should try to live a decent life." - Wikipedia

I guess that explains why he always dies in his movies.
Hopefully Machete WILL stay alive.

 

[Gilpesh]

Cause Machete is the hero.

Teaching young kids that killing those disrespectful bastards at the FBI who double cross you when you are on one of your illegal assassination jobs.

 

[Kabuki_Jo]

Machete is bad guy as well, Gilpesh...he's a hitman.
"I cost the most, cause I'm the best there is", according to the Grindhouse trailer.

He becomes the movie hero because he's doublecrossed.

 

[Gilpesh]

I know. That point is proven in the second line of my post.

 

[Kabuki_Jo]

Indeed.

He might always die in the movies, but I remember seeing him come out in a George Lopez episode once. He didn't die in that one.t: Though the show itself did!

 

[Pile-Ou-Face]

Hey ! He didn't die in the saga Spy Kids, no ?

 

[DorkyFresh]

he didn't die in Bubble Boy

 

[Gilpesh]

Technically he was dead on the inside for the entire movie until the end.
