Machete Sharpened - the Grindhouse edit (Released)

Some time ago I’ve got this idea about Machete edit which will give that film more of a grindhouse feel that was lacking in theatrical version. After completing ZSJL Grindhouse edit, I’ve decided to give it a shot.

So, the goal is to have bloodier, funnier, sexier, more ridiculous (and not always making much sense) edit of Robert Rodriguez’ Machete with grindhouse look, some re-scoring, deleted scenes restored as well as some additional footage from other movies, especially those featuring Steven Seagal, repurposed to expand his role as an over the top villain.

• Cut some scenes with senator McLoughlin (TV spots, his second death).
• Cut part of the first and whole second scene with “smart bodyguards”
• some more minor cuts here and there
• re-scored big part of the movie
• added layer of thick grain and grindhouse effects to whole movie (dirt, scratches, dust and other damage).
• added 6 of 8 deleted scenes from the Blu-ray (characters of Sis and McCoy are restored in this cut)
• added newly created flashback sequence
• added some scenes with Steven Seagal from his other movies (see other sources)
• added mid-credits scene
• some additional nudity
• used some shots from fake trailer (2007)
• added blood effects in few shots
• added SFX to rebuild some of the rescored scenes and in several other places.

This is now released.
