The grainy low-tech lobby cards for Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Manniquis’ MACHETE continue to mount, and today we have an additional threesome to leer at. Unfortunately this time around, no smokin’ female frames are gracing the new looks…just the geriatric trio of Jeff Fahey, Steven Seagal and Danny Trejo!
While I do dig the sleazy glint in Fahey’s eye, how can you not like Seagal’s still the most? Dude looks like a bloated samurai on the hunt for some fiber. For f*ck’s sake, someone get the man a stool softener!
Slicing theaters September 3rd, The highly skilled Federale MACHETE is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!
Jessica Alba (below), Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and the great Bob De Niro also star in the film.
