Machete




This Robert Rodriguez comedic crime thriller first made it's appearance as one of the fake trailers in Grindhouse the horror/crime double feature that he made with Quentin Tarantino.  Of those four trailers, this is the only one to actually be made into a real film (hey!  Eli Roth....where's your Thanksgiving slasher flick??).  It stars Rodriguez's cousin Danny Trejo who is of Yoeme (Yaqui) descent (Danny's son Gilbert also makes an appearance).  It also stars mestiza actresses Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez (no relation) and Chicano mestizo funny man Richard "Cheech" Marin...and a whole lot of Mexican and Tejano extras!
