0 Comments
By Simon Miraudo October 21, 2013 The market has well and truly rejected the Machete franchise, as if it were salted toothpaste or phlegm-flavoured soda. Yet still, further instalments keep getting churned out (probably just to keep Danny Trejo in moustache oil). The unnecessary Machete Kills – truly the Crystal Pepsi of cinema – opened […]

Posted without comment. Sofia Vergara stars opposite Machete himself, Danny Trejo, as well as Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, and Mel Gibson. Weird cast. We’ll get to see them all in action later this year. That is, so long as Overnight Productions’ lawsuit against Robert Rodriguez’s Quick Draw Productions doesn’t bar the film from release.
