Director Robert Rodriguez has big plans for his Danny Trejo-led "Machete," even calling it the "Latin James Bond."

"This is the first Latin superhero in Hollywood cinema," he said on Tuesday. "People were saying when they saw the trailer, how come no one has done this

Will he drive an Aston Martin that bounces up and down? Big fluffy dice on the mirror rather than machine guns? And will he have a partner named CHONG??

I’m there, for no other reason than to see the “hidden cell phone” trick! YA-HOO!!!

There's some 12:01 AM showings in my area.

Instead of "Betty La Fea" (Ugly Betty in the Spanish version), it's "Danny El Feo". I mean that as a compliment.

That wasn’t the real trailer. It was a joke, but the movie is just a paler version.

Please don’t pay money to see it. All the “gringos” are bad and the Mexicans are victims of American corporations. Typical leftist BS.

I wish they would let me write script for a movie. It would based on literary elements decribed as part-Len Deighton, part-Ian Fleming, part-Kingsley Amis, and part-Sax Rohmer.

“The Mark of Zorro” is from 1920, and it’s very much from Hollywood, so... it’d be quite hard to be even more mistaken.

Danny Trejo is 66 years old. A bit old to be a “Latin James Bond”.

[Deb]

No one is stopping you. Do it. Trust me, it ain’t hard and you’re a good writer.

Hey, who’s stoppin’ ya? :’)

Dude. ‘The Ipcress File’ is another one of my favs. Harry Palmer - the poor man’s 007. Write the screenplays man!!!

I suggest at least one rip-off of the ‘Machete’ cell phone scene...

If you're Caucasian and are approached by an illegal alien/Mexican with a machete in hand, why should you not blow him away on the spot?

Hmmm...since MGM is in disarray and has canceled the next Bond movie, maybe Rodriguez is onto something.

After the cell phone thing, you won’t be satisfied until they up the ante to the lady hiding a coterie of Cubans in her cooch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! You read my mind! I always did get excited by the ‘Old Lady in the Shoe’...very Freudian!!!!!!

I can’t wait for the movie that depicts whites murdering the President of LaRaza or MEChA now that will be a fun movie.
