A Brief List of Incredibly Awesome Things Found in the New Machete Trailer
Robert Rodriguez’s Machete movie finally has a real trailer that isn’t the one he made for Grindhouse. I was all set to decry the new one as not nearly as awesome as the old one — the old one was pretty fucking awesome after all — but I can’t. It’s totally amazing. Here is a brief list why:
? A tequila bottle shaped like a gun
? Danny Trejo fighting people with his keys
? Jessica Alba in her underpants
? Danny Trejo fighting Steven Seagal with swords
? Jessica Alba fighting a luchador
I’m sorry, did you read that last sentence? JESSICA ALBA FIGHTING A LUCHADOR. Sweet jesus, I need to take a cold shower or something.
