It’s about padding out a fake trailer from Tarantino’s Grindhouse double feature into a full length movie.

Rodriguez's work on Grindhouse was far better than the Tarantino half. I don't know if Machete the move is any good but even the trailer was better than Death Race or whatever stupid movie Tarantino made.

Tarantino should have used the money from both of those films and remade Escape from LA.

Why is it directors feel they need to remake GOOD movies?

"Rodriguez's work on Grindhouse was far better than the Tarantino half."

Agreed, but that's more a comment on how bad the Tarantino half was. The Rodriguez half wasn't good by any means but it wasn't as mind numbingly boring as the Tarrantino half. Which is a shame because the "1970's drive in double feature" concept was petty cool if they had executed it better.

The Stuntman Mike movie was 90% fast forward material and maybe 12 minutes of good stuff.
I have never seen so many sympathetic victims that i wanted to see die so bad in any movie before.

I still can't believe Kurt Russell agreed to be beat to death by chicks.
Actually i can't believe Kurt Russell even agreed to do the movie at all.
