Machete

I don't know that I will ever forget running across this movie on TV a few weeks ago. After seeing this title sequence, I was in it for the duration. I immediately sent my wife a text. She's a huge movie buff and can name all actors, who their children are, who they are married to or divorced from, etc...

So, I asked her "What movie has Steven Segal, Jessica Alba, Robert DeNiro, and Don Johnson in it?" Her reply - "There is no movie with that cast".  Lol. It gets better. Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsey Lohan, and Cheech Morin are also in it. Jeff Fahey is in it too and Danny Trejo is the lead in the movie.

 

So, when I see a Steven Segal movie, I know that I'm in for a kind of cheesy, corny, action flick. But, I was in the adventurous mood and kept going with it because I love all the other actors and the title sequence was bloody. It was actually a pretty good show with a solid plot and lots of action. I wasn't disappointed until the final 25 minutes or so when everything went cheesy.  However, it was definitely worth watching and I'm going to see it again when I can. Designer Kurt Volk at Troublemaker Studios is interviewed below video at the link. Great work Kurt and Troublemaker Studios on a fantastic rugged and gritty title sequence.
