    • Trivia
      Brett Harvey discovered one of the biggest problems trying to film a conversation with Danny Trejo while he's driving around his local areas (something he loves to do) was the constant interruptions of passers-by shouting "Trejo" or "Machete" at him. These had to be edited out.

    A rather spectacular story of a great man
    This was a really outstanding film about hope and redemption, a man who's life could have gone sideways found a way out, a way up and is now using his Mojo to bring inspiration into people's lives. What can you say about that in this day in age of over-bloated Hollywood actors who don't have the time of day for people.

    A guy like Trejo is very refreshing, this guy really seems to be putting his heart and soul into helping people, inspiring people, changing lives, and giving people hope.

    Especially when you consider the lack of role models in the Latin Street Community this guy's a bit of a real life superhero, and truly a beautiful soul.

    This film was very well directed, the director just let Trejo shine through, and it is a very rewarding film.
