'Machete' Sequel Is Hacking Its Way to Theaters
That leathery face. That tough guy 'tude. That… refusal to text. Yes, it's time for more Machete, the character first introduced in a fake trailer in 2007's "Grindhouse" double feature by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.
A crazy actioner with a sly political message hidden inside, "Machete" starred Danny Trejo as a former Federale agent who ends up in Texas, embroiled in a war between immigration, corrupt officials, and Shé, a mythical leader of an underground network helping illegal immigrants. Now it's time for Machete to kill again in... "Machete Kills." Succinct!

Someone just f**ked with the wrong Mexican in "Machete," and we are glad it's Danny Trejo. Why? Because Trejo is an unstoppable acting machine who, after spending time in San Quentin, has had a prolific career playing villains and badasses.
He's Hollywood's go-to man when your script requires a tough Mexican and, as director Robert Rodriguez said at the "Machete" premiere, he has a characteristic face that "you can rock climb on." Plus, the teaser trailer for "Machete" that accompanied the theatrical release of 2007's "Grindhouse" was the obvious choice to be made into a feature-length film, which is exactly what Rodriguez did.

Exclusive Q&A: Career Badass and 'Machete' Man Danny Trejo
We challenge you to find a Hollywood mug with more character than Danny Trejo's. Moviedom's go-to tough guy got off to a rocky start after a string of petty crimes and heroin trouble landed him in San Quentin, where he became a boxing champion.
Upon his release and after getting clean, a chance meeting on the set of 1985's "Runaway Train" launched his prolific acting career (201 credits and counting on IMDb), usually playing a tough criminal. For his first leading role as the titular antihero in Robert Rodriguez's outrageously fun "Machete," Trejo is definitely one Mexican with whom you don't want to f**k. Get More »
