Just in time for Cinco De Mayo, Robert Rodriguez has released the trailer for Machete, scheduled to hit theaters, September 3rd.
It's nearly word for word the same as the original. Machete's original trailer was included in theaters, in a set of other faux trailers before Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse (2007) double-feature. Some of the shots are even identical, but this one seems a tad bit more ridiculous. Lindsey Lohan playing a nun...who...kills people? Perfect!
The movie will apparently attack Arizona's new policy against illegal immigration. Hopefully this agenda doesn't get too distracting from the expected roaring rampage of revenge though. I'm excited for some mindless action and crappy acting, and I'm super psyched to see Danny Trejo and Stephen Seagal fight. So I don't know about you, but you can count me in for this B-movie homage. Let's hope it's funny enough! - MV
Plot: The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Danny Trejo), a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin) his "holy" brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
