Danny Trejo returns to the world of Machete Cortez in Robert Rodriguez's new sequel, "Machete Kills." Jessica Alba (Santana Rivera) and Michelle Rodriguez (Luz) also return for the second time. Joining them are Mel Gibson (Luther Voz), Demian Bichir (Mendez), Amber Heard (Miss San Antonio), Sofia Vergara (Madame Desdemona), Charlie Sheen or Carlos Estevez (President Rathcock), Vanessa Hudgens (Cereza), and Alexa Vega (Killjoy). Playing El Camaleon are Walton Goggins, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas.
Simply put, "Machete Kills" is violently funny and cartoonishly provocative! Much like the first one! This time, our favorite vigilante must work with the U.S. government to take down an intriguing nemesis.
I sat down with Trejo and Vega (yes, the "Spy Kids" girl is all grown-up now!) to talk about the movie (see interview below). Here are some of our highlights:
*** Why return to the world of Machete Cortez?
*** What made Vega want to join the cast?
*** The fantastic and surreal weapons used in the movie
*** Sword fighting with William Wallace aka Mel Gibson
*** Why do actors line up to work with Robert Rodriguez
Have fun!

Danny Trejo has aged really well...he looks exactly the same as he did in Spy Kids.

Danny Trejo was born at age 40 with his chest tattoos

I feel so nostalgic watching this because I grew up with Spy Kids. Alexa looks fantastic as always. ❤️

[@coquinx3]

Had a huge crush on carmen as a kid. Huge is an understatement.

[@justinbuska3499]

Jorge Rodriguez Yep, when I was in like kindergarten I wanted to marry her and I remember trejo as the uncle. Now it's awkward seeing her all grown up not waring much clothes being with Trejo in this movie.

[@kylephantom4]

I wish they would do a proper Spy Kids sequel (something a little more mature, but not as mature as Machete and has literally nothing to do with that lame Spy Kids 4) with Carmen and Juni......something that really hits that nostalgia factor and has that feeling for the original trilogy. Call it: Spy Kids Reborn or something like that

[@DemarticusStoneGaming]

I would kill to see that!

[@I-speak-U-shut-it]

Tell Robert Rodriguez to give up the Spy Kids film rights to Disney. I'll make Spy Kids be next 007 Goldeneye

[@Chatterbox-94]

Danny looks like he hasn’t aged a bit. Alexa has grown up into a stunningly gorgeous woman.

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

Little Spy Kids reunion.... ;-)

DANNY TREJO RULES IN MACHETE KILLS !!!!

[@GTAnativeInXboxAndPlayStation]

Carmen and her uncle!

[@RoxStar09]

When the interviewer said “Wallace,” I was hoping she’d remember Repo! I needed this interview, they’re two such humble and down-to-earth people that make their movies worth the watch.

[@gilbertgranby9339]

It was 5 years between those movies. Oftentimes, actors don't remember alot of what they have been in from year to year.

[@jessealvarez1938]

the interviewers guy was funny person
