Hello~ ladies and gentlemen, boys and gals. My name is 密室TAO, and this is officially the first time I’m doing a program on the Mofun platform, so I sincerely hope that you will enjoy it!

I see that many of the popular films have more or less already been discussed here on Mofun, so I would like to start off with a movie that people in China are not too familiar with. This film is rated “R”, meaning it’s not for children under the age of 17, due to explicit violence, strong language and nudity. So boys and gals, I’m afraid this is not for you…

Back in 2007, a fake movie trailer was included in the film “Grindhouse” by directors: Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Somehow, people got crazy over this fake trailer and long story short, Rodriguez decided to turn it into a full length feature: “Machete”. According to Rodriguez, the original idea of Machete comes from the early films by John Woo (吴宇森) such as “Hard Boiled” (辣手神探) and “The Killer” (喋血双雄), both played by Chow Yun-fat (周润发).

In this film, “Machete”, a legendary Mexican Ex-Federal, gets involved in a scheme to kill the state senator whose campaign is built on hatred against illegal immigrants, only later found out that the real scheme is to secure his reelection. As the story unfolds, Machete found out the real villain behind all the conspiracies is also the man who murdered his wife.

One of the biggest reasons that I am a fan of this movie is Danny Trejo, the actor who played “Machete”. For what reason? Well, What’s there not to like? He’s got the strength! He’s got the brain! He’s got the body and look… well, that most middle aged men can relate to! And he has surely proven that look isn’t everything!

I think deep down, there is a little bit of “Machete” in every man, don’t you agree?

I've also made a few clips for dubbing, hope you will enjoy as well~
