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

Been interested since the trailer during Grindhouse.

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

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

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

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. |
Quote:
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. |

I don't have any idea why he felt the need to point out that it was fake, considering everyone that saw the film in its entirety knew they were fake trailers and thus part of the entire film called "Grindhouse". "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. |

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. |

Basically, Dane and KCMizzou are saying the exact same things.
Also, IMO Death Proof > Planet Terror. |
You're not Wrong dane, your just an asshole / The dude

Of course I’m a gearhead so any flick with hot chicks and ending in a big car chase is going to win me over every time. |
MAN MOVIES are making a comeback!

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. |

KcMizzou said exactly what Dane said... Odd. |

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.

68% certified fresh Consensus: Machete is messy, violent, shallow, and tasteless -- and that's precisely the point of one of the summer's most cartoonishly enjoyable films. |

That's true KcMizzou I can testify to it also if you need backup. |

We're good as far as I'm concerned. Grudges are for girls. |

And of course we're good. :D |
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 |
Cheech playing a shotgun toting priest. Can we make that happen
Dane/ yes ma'am! |

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 |

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. |

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.
