** We’ve swapped out the old fake trailer with this new “real” one **
You may have thought Hollywood had already plumbed the depths of depravity, but Tinseltown has now reached a new low.
Director Robert Rodriguez has released a trailer for his latest disgust-a-thon disguised as a movie:
Director Robert Rodriguez’ new film ‘Machete’ has created controversy after a promotional trailer released online makes provoking comments about Arizona– referring to its new immigration laws– before depicted a machete-wielding vigilante who leads an uprising and massacre against Texas authorities. The filmmakers called it a ‘special’ Cinco de Mayo message to Arizona, inviting viewers into a violent on-screen race war with red-saturated 70s exploitation violence and endless killing.
Dust off the awards shelf, Robert, because Hollywood will undoubtedly reward you with an Oscar for this one.
UPDATE: We orignally displayed old 2007 “fake” trailer that Grindhouse made for another of its upcoming films. But now, Robert Rodriguez has made a new film based upon this old trailer, and this is the new trailer he’s just released for it. And we’ve swapped the new real one in for the old fake one. From Ain’t It Cool News, Rodriguez “is calling this his “Illegal” trailer. You see, Robert talked Fox into letting him put together a Cinco De Mayo message for ARIZONA – given. Well, the way things are in Arizona at this moment – it is kinda insane that there is a movie that was shot over a year ago waiting to be released that is about – THIS EXACT ISSUE… but if, Danny Trejo and buddies went Revolution Wacko as a result. “

Lanny, that's one of the most sensible remarks on the subject I've seen and I agree that many leave mexico because they are good people and can't stand the coruption and violence anymore. But they'd better speak up against the ones that want to take down the US and make it like mexico or we will put them all in the same group when the shit starts.
Things like this are why I love free speech.
Without free speech, we would never know what hate, jealousy, violence, and racism exist in the minds of leftists. We would only hear their meandering lectures about cotton candy, dancing unicorns and the kindness of communism. But let them speak from their hearts, and this is what you get.
Interestingly, what this film portrays is exactly what we all fear about importing the worst of Mexican culture to America. They show us what America would be like if we accepted the lawlessness, violence, and tribalism that controls Mexico. Many good people from south of the border hate the corruption. But they don't have the will to fix it because there's an escape hatch just to the north.
On a side note there are NOT 12 million Illegal Aliens living in the US, But 40 MILLION! WAKE THE F**** UP. Look Around!!
Is the ultimate goal of legal and illegal mexicans in the U.S.A. to gain territory for thier beloved mexican government and transform the US into mexico? Mexico after all IS a paradise is it not? Why do they come here, is it because it's better here with more opportunities, better schools, medical care and fairer, especially to them justice system? But no they want to take over and make it like mexico, stupid mthfkrs.
The liberals that do all the crying about Arizonas new law are the supreme hypocrites, especially the hollywood jackass's. They are isolated from any of the problems caused by the illegals, living in secured nieghborhoods away from any of that. The only latins they associate with are thier maids and yard men or maybe the elite latins in hollywood. Send all the illegals flooding in to the nieghborhoods of these liberal ass holes and they would change thier tune real quick and start SCREAMING at the police to protect them. I have many latin friends the problem with the illegals isn't that they're Mexican it is the numbers and the fact that we tax payers have to foot the bill for all the free stuff they recieve and that they are getting more and more demanding. I would not like as many illegal English coming into this country.
vargas, are you as stupid as you sound or being sarcastic? Do you know what sarcastic means?
impeach that racists lady.
this is like the 60s again. and its disgusting the governor or that mean ulgy white woman is full of hate. impeach that governor.
I've been boycotting hollywood for years, it's unbelievable that there are people that suck up to these idiot so called celebritys. The guy in this movie is a real horse face isn't he?
Isn't inciting a riot illegal? And isn't inciting a revolt against the American people and government treaonous? The weird part is that these people are allowed to even show films like this. This way beyond "free speech." Your right to free speech ends when it affects others rights.
