MACHETE!
 
Anyone interested? I like Danny Trejo; he's a real-deal bad mother****er.

Been interested since the trailer during Grindhouse.

This. It looked more interesting than "Grindhouse". Wasn't it called "The Mexican" back then?

Buck 08-31-2010 10:54 PM

Wasn't the trailer in Grindhouse just a fake trailer and somebody said it would make a good movie so they made it?

Nope, it was MACHETE!

It was way "over the top"... and that was the point.

No, Machete was a trailer for Grindhouse (which was financed for next to nothing).

It was a homage to the X, XX and XXX films of the 70's (complete with film distortion and flickers). It was done for little to no money (back end for everyone) and although the trailers were AWESOME, no one set out to create the trailers with an intent to make them 90 minute films.

Rob Zombie has been trying to come up with a way to make "Werewolf Women of the SS" into a feature, as has Eli Roth and "Thanksgiving".

The problem with that it's akin to making a short SNL skit into a movie: It was originally conceived in short form, so how do you make it cool and relevant in long form?

The short answer is that many have tried but few have succeeded.

Buck said, "Wasn't the trailer in Grindhouse just a fake trailer and somebody said it would make a good movie so they made it?"

And I said, "Yes, that's exactly what it was. "

It got enough buzz, that they decided to make a real movie out of it...

How was I wrong?

KcMizzou 08-31-2010 11:28 PM

I saw Grindhouse in the theater... both movies. And those trailers were the best part.

Machete was NOT a trailer for Grindhouse. It was a fake trailer for a fake movie that came between the two actual films. I went to the theater and saw it.

Did they ever release the full Grindhouse DVD, or is it still two seperate movies? Ive only seen the full movie in theaters and on STARZ network from time to time.

I dont know if it was released in the US or not, but I have a copy of an actual Grindhouse dvd in PAL format complete with trailers and all....

There also a longer international cut of Death Proof. More dialouge and you get to see the girl dance in the bar.

But i like the original better...the fake cuts in the movie where it skips forward are hilarious to me.

I want an original DVD with both movies, trailers and the fake jump, cuts and skips....just like it was shown in theaters.

The entire thing was a concept film to feel like the 70's. In the theaters, it was shown as one feature length film (Planet Terror & Death Proof were the features, with Thanksgiving, Machete and Were Women of the SS as "trailer" for films that didn't exist).

When the DVD was initially released, it was released in its entirety, more than 3 hours long. The premium cable channels generally have shown one film or the other (Planet Terror or Death Proof).

The entire project was a gigantic flop. It cost more than $67 million to make, yet earned only $25 million worldwide at the box office.

"Machete" was independently financed for less than $20 million, with all of the actors taking back end participation. Out of all the Grindhouse fake trailers, it has the best chance of being successful because of the backstory. The others will be far more difficult to produce.

Man, I loved it! Planet Terror was awesome. Death Proof was too talky of course, because it's Quintin and Quintin loves to hear himself speak. And the trailers were awesome.

Maybe I'm missing something here. I saw Grindhouse. I saw the fake trailers. KcM is stating that Machete was originally a fake trailer. I thought it was as well.

"Fake" really isn't the correct terminology. They were trailers created by filmmakers to give Grindhouse the full effect of seeing a film in the 70's.

If anything, WereWomen (at 8 minutes long) qualifies as a short film and not a faux trailer.

It was. The original trailer played before the first movie "Planet Terror" The rest of them played between the two films.


Heres the original trailer. Cracks me up everytime. :)

Death Proof has grown on me. Its still too talky with way too much girl chit chat.....

But Kurt Russel is da man, and that car chase at the end rules. Oh, the girls are hot too.

I feel argumentative (along with my usual liking of KcMizzou). KcMizzou obviously felt the need to point out that it was "fake" because two people immediately before him were uncertain about it. However, even if there hadn't been those immediate posts, KcMizzou's information would still have been interesting to the many people who have not seen Grindhouse in their entirety.

Fake is a fine term for it, because [authentic] trailers necessarily correspond to an authentic movie. When a _____ trailer corresponds to a non-authentic movie, the trailer is necessarily a non-authentic trailer. And another way of saying non-authentic is . . . fake.

Reaper16 09-01-2010 03:45 PM

Basically, Dane and KCMizzou are saying the exact same things.

Also, IMO Death Proof > Planet Terror.

From the ads I expected Inglorious Bastards to be a mindless bloodbath, which I’m actually fine with, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to have more depth than that.

Yeah, I didn't mean to come across as a dick, so my apologies to everyone if I did.

I didn't specify "fake" or "faux" in my original post because I didn't realize it was necessary to do so.

But back to the Grindhouse, I thought it was brilliant from start to finish. From Planet Terror to Machete to Thanksgiving to WereWomen of the SS to Death Proof, it was ****ing awesome.

Some people I spoke to about the film thought they went overboard in post-production with the scratchiness, film-skipping, audio dropouts, lines, etc. but personally, I thought it captured the spirit and essence of 70's Drive-In movie theaters perfectly and really dug that aspect of the film.

FWIW, Eli Roth says he'll be working on a feature-length script later this year for Thanksgiving but Rob Zombie has said he's not sure how to make Were Women into a feature film.

That was the best part of the movie(s).

I also get off on that "Prevues of Coming Attractions" deal he uses (did the same with "Our Feature Presentation" on "Kill Bill Vol. 1"). Those of us who are old enough remember seeing those exact clips in the theaters back in the day. Made me feel like I was 7 again.

Yea, i think this is most likely why it flopped to be honest. The general public just didnt get it.

There are not many people out there that get the 60's/70s/80s B movie aesthetic, and are willing to pay good money to relive it. LOL

I should say though that the scene with Rose McGowan with the 50 Cal as a leg was ****ing awesome and the 2nd best thing(the car chase in DP was the best) about Grindhouse.

Machete was absolutely amazing. The definition of a" fun" movie. One of my favorites.

Badass explosions, blood, jessica alba in the shower, michelle rodriguez in leather, linsey lohan gets naked, jessica alba in the shower

Jessica alba in the shower

Srsly, what more could you want?

I highly reccomend this movie to anyone who likes guy movies

Demonpenz 09-03-2010 12:47 PM

Everyone is forgetting the trailer for "Don't", which was written and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). Definitely not makable into a movie, but a fun spoof of basically every slasher film from the 70s and 80s.

Time to talk about this movie. If you dont wanna know anything about it then stop reading now.


Okay. What we have here is a man (Danny Trejo) that in real life is a bad ass. A tough kid that grew up to be the prison boxing champ and was given a break. We have seen him 100's of times and you really dont know his name. But he is that BAD ASS mexican dude with alot of Ink on his body. And he is one ugly M***er F***er. The man finally has a leading role and takes full advantage of it. He is set up to be the fall guy and he is not too happy about it. Its like they crossed The Expendables and Piranna 3D into one movie. Full of action and blood and some really campy moments. It actually our Grindhouse's Grindouse. lol. This is the movie they should have made instead.

Very 70's with a modern twist. And the absolutly hottest woman on the planet, Michelle Rodriguez goes beyond anything she has ever done. Her part alone allows me to forgive them for having Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba in this film. Neither of which can act. Alba should stick to calenders and Lohan should just go away. However. Jesssica Alba naked in the shower does have its perks. Machete gets nail her (what a lucky ugly man). COme to think of it. Linsay Lohan and her mom (in the movie) are both naked in the pool anf Machete gets the two of them at the same time (what a really lucky ugly man). And then there is Michelle Rodriguez and the SOB gets to bump his ugly with her too. (Pity she didnt get naked) but what a really really lucky man.

Cheech Marin, who plays Machete's brother is now a priest and has one of the best lines in the movie, I reslove you of all your sins now get the f**k out of here." LOL.
Robert De Niro is awesome as a racsist political asshole and you can tell he is having fun in the movie. He really gets to cut loose. Also Steven Seagal is our favorit drug dealer that is in control of everything and has a really vicious side. And he finally lost the ponytail.

The movie deals with some strong political opinions and will offend some. But most should accept the movie for what it is. A kickass good time

I liked the Were Women short but other than that, I haven't watched his films.

I'm not a horror fan, at all.

That settles it; I'm going to the theater.

Just saw "Machete". It made "The Expendables" look like a Disney cartoon, LOL. And Michelle Rodriguez looks KICKIN' hot. She's thinner than she's ever been. The funbags are gone, but so is the booty and the stomach roll. She looks 10 years younger. Jessica Alba, of course, is hot (and there's a full-body nude side shot). Lindsey Lohan is bare ass and, while she's a whacked out chick, the body's good. Cheech, Don Johnson, and DeNiro are all awesome... as is, of course, Machete himself. The film is beyond over-the-top.

It's been widely reported that Lohan had a body double for Machete.

Sorry to disappoint.

Well, considering they had shots of Lohan facing the camera with no shirt on, that'd be a neat trick.

OK, so now we have the Grindhouse knockoff "fake" trailers being made into full length feature films.....

Hobo With a Shotgun trailer... ROFL

Unfortunately, that stupid twat would sink to the bottom, considering all the sperm in her stomach and coke up her nose.

I had a sneaking suspicion that wasn't really lohan. In the scene where she shows her tits, her face is turned and hair is covering it. Oh well.

The music that plays at the very beginning is sampled in "Old School" by DANGERDOOM featuring Talib Kweli.
