Robert Rodriguez’s MACHETE lops mothaf*ckin’ domes in a mere two weeks, hard to believe I know. so to get further pumped and poised to see this love-letter to exploitation grime, we’ve got a whole host of new video content for you to sift through below. I’m talking about a new 1-minute clip, action packed of course…and two awesome 5-minute B-roll clips for y’all to get down with. Line up the tequila yo, it’s a goddamn MACHETE fiesta!
In the actual film clip, called “Sniper on the Roof,” watch Danny Trejo as the titular Federale aiming his sights on Bob De Niro’s goofily twanged Senator. Worth a laugh if nothing else…
Additionally, we have a pair of cool B-roll clips, which offer all kinds of weird, behind-the-scenes set shenanigans. Trejo shirtless with a four foot blade is no joke!
Swinging the blade 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!
Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba (below), Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin and Tom Savini also add a bit of seediness.
