Somehow, I never got around to seeing Machete even though it’s been on my to-see list forever. Now that there’s a sequel in the works, I think I’ll have to buckle down and finally watch it. Now having not seen it, my expectations are campy and gratuitous violence, explicit nudity and totally unnecessary sexual acts and wooden, snarky acting across the board.
Danny Trejo returns to Machete Kills, which is Robert Rodriguez‘s second film in a planned trilogy that he hopes to end with Machete in Space. While this obviously sounds ludicrious, it does sound like the plot to this sequel will set up the third film as it involves Machete hunting down an arm’s dealer who has unleashed a deadly weapon orbiting around Earth. Whether or not the franchise makes it to a third revolution is entirely depend upon the performance of this one so don’t count those chickens before they hatch.
Check out the trailer right here:
