As much as I’m happy that Danny Trejo has finally got a lead role to once and for all pin his cult status, it is only for the Latina twin tamales Electra and Elise Avellan, playing a couple of crazy nurses, that I will watch “Machete” which premiers today. The sisters better known as the crazy babysitter twins of “Grindhouse”!
Unfortunately only one of this sisters, namely Electra, showed up for the sneak premiere in LA! But one sister is better than no sister, right?
On a funny note it should be mentioned that “Machete” is the first movie in history to be based on its trailer! The origin goes back to a fake trailer in the “Grindhouse” movie set, which got so popular that the demand led to an actual full length feature (check out the poster in my limited Japanese edition).
