The second movie *Machete Kills* is something else entirely. If the first film is a semi-parody of exploitation films. This one is a full on spoof comedy, parodying not just exploitation films, but other things too. By the end of the film, the bullshit is so absurd, that you cannot stop laughing. And then [Elon Musk]() appears out of nowhere to send *Machete* into space.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.

It starts in the similar manner as the double-feature Robert Rodriguez did in 2007 with Quentin Tarantino. It has a fake trailer. This time for an unmade third film in the Machete series. Which is supposed to be a space opera. The film shows you how utterly insane it is from the very beginning. So you will buy the bullshit that goes after that more easily.\r\n\r\nThat's called leaving an impression. If the viewers expect nonesenical fun, they are not going to complain when stupid things happen. Imagine watching *[Dressed to Kill](https://blenderdumbass.org/reviews/dressed_to_kill_1980_is_a_cinematic_treat)* and the Dr. Robert Elliott picking up a light saber and killing zombies. That wouldn't work in a **Brian De Palma** film, but it fits well in **Timur Bekmambetov** filmography.
