Storyline
The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his brother Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you! Written by rmlohner

Federale Officer: [in Spanish; subtitled] We're federal agents, not martyrs. This is suicide. She's just another kidnap victim.

Federale Officer: What makes her special? Because she's a witness against Torrez? He probably has her locked up, drugged our of her mind. We don't have to do this!
Machete: If not us, then who?

Trivia
This is the sixth time that actors Danny Trejo and Daryl Sabara appeared in the same film. Trejo played Michael Myers' security guard and Sabara played Westley Rhoads (the boy who bullied Myers as a child) in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake, along with all four Spy Kids films. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Senator McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) carjacks the taxi, the registration sticker clearly expired in 2008. Most of the other cars stickers in this movie didn't expire until 2010. This means the taxi would have been operating illegally. See more »Quotes
