    This is Not a Fight or Boxing Film, But It KICKS ASS!!!

    Okay, I gave a teaser mention of this film when I posted one of my last videos. It's not about boxing, has no speedbags but it has over the top, unrealistic, graphic, campy violence. Danny Trejo as a leading man with a MAJOR attitude, Don Johnson as a right wing bigot, Robert DeNiro as a right wing bigot politician Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez as straight up eye candy..with attitude. Steven Seagal as..wait for it.. A MEXICAN DRUG LORD!? Hearing him try to speak spanish and throwing a "vato" here and a "vato" there was hilarious (here a vato, there a vato everywhere a vato) and Lindsay Lohan as well, Linsay Lohan! I mean her first scene has her getting dragged from a meth house by her arms dealing dad played by Jeff Fahey. The movie? MACHETE!!! I caught it OnDemand last week and was thoroughly entertained. If you liked Shoot 'Em Up with it's grauitous over the top violence, you'll love this one. Suspension of disbelief is a must. It's just a stupid send up of 70's exploitation films. Robert Rodriguez does it again. 5 bags(black, blue and red!) Out on dvd today. Get it at BlockBuster, Netflix or Redbox. Take your pick, but I think Skunk would appreciate us all getting it at Blockbuster!

        I loved it! I love the monologue from Seagal at the end. Man it just comes right at you head first from the start. Fun fun fun.

          This movie is a scream! DeNiro's is a riot in his part, Seagal looks like Dr. No without Sean Connery and Trejo is the ugliest man on the face of the earth. I don't know if they are spoofing "Kill Bill" or Arizona Politics. I can't wait for the sequels:

          Machete Kills.

          Machete Kills again.

          I rented it first but it's definitely a keeper.

            Thanks for the review, I was wondering if that movie was good. I'll have to check it out!

            The wife is absolutely addicted to Netflix (as am I). We're seriously considering ditching cable (we're mostly doing the streaming)

            Sounds like it's speed bag approved... I'll definitely have to check it out.

              .
              I like Netflix too, but I'm having issues with the streaming. Alot of titles are dvd only. Or non existent. However I have been enjoying alot of foreign action films. Especially Thai action films.
