Machete - From QT’s and Rodriguez latest project Grindhouse
I liked Grindhouse, it’s great project from two great man.
At the begining of PlanetВ Terror (second film from Grindhouse project) we can see fake trailer “Machete”.В Danny Trejo the best!
Wikipedia wrotes: “Rodriguez wrote Machete in 1993 as a full feature for Danny Trejo. “I had cast him in Desperado and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, this guy should have his own series of Mexican exploitation movies like Charles Bronson or like Jean Claude Van Damme.’ So I wrote him this idea of a federale from Mexico who gets hired to do hatchet jobs in the U.S. I had heard sometimes FBI or DEA have a really tough job that they don’t want to get their own agents killed on, they’ll hire an agent from Mexico to come do the job for $25,000. I thought, ‘That’s Machete. He would come and do a really dangerous job for a lot of money to him but for everyone else over here it’s peanuts.’ But I never got around to making it.” It was later announced that the trailer will be made as a direct-to-DVD feature film.”
