Robert Rodriguez loves to joke around and have fun. If you remember last year when we announced the date that the feature length GRINDHOUSE trailer turned full action/horror film MACHETE was being released Rodriguez and cousin Danny Trejo joked about sequels. We even did an animation poster of MACHETE X: MACHETE IN SPACE...

Follow up:

Although the likely hood of a MACHETE IN SPACE happening is zero sequel talks are already buzzing and the names aren't too far out there. Rodriguez joked about "MACHETE KILLS," and the sequel to that being "MACHETE KILLS AGAIN!". Think it won't happen? We tend to stand behind Robert when he jokes about these things and here is what he had to say about the subject.

"Some people who didn't die in the film actually did die, I just cut out their deaths," he explained. "I wanted to save them for a sequel, but you actually see that they did perish. Where the movie will go next? I have a bunch of ideas for it. It's all in the end titles. We have to make them, of course, 'Machete Kills' and 'Machete Kills Again.' Once you put it out there, just like we did with the trailer, you have to make it."

If MACHETE does well at the box office you can bet your ass there will be a follow up that is even more over the top and if fans beg for a MACHETE IN SPACE don't put it past Robert. We believe him when he says he'd do it.
