‘Machete Kills’ Blu-ray Review: Danny Trejo’s B Movie Gets A-List Upgrade
The newly released Blu-ray rewards fans with bonus content and beautiful packaging.
If you thought Machete Kills was crazy in theaters — and, make no mistake, it definitely was — then your mind will be completely blown by the movie’s Blu-ray release, which is fully loaded with more extras than you could shake Sofia Vergara‘s penis-gun at.

‘Machete Kills’ Review: It’s Just So Good
Now, if you haven’t seen Machete Kills, it’s the sequel to 2010’s Machete, following Danny Trejo‘s titular character as he helps the U.S. Government stop a Mexican arms dealer from launching a weapon into outer space. If that’s not crazy enough for you, the President of the United States is played by Charlie Sheen, and the aforementioned arms dealer is portrayed by none other than Mel Gibson.
With additional performances by Michelle Rodriguez, Amber Heard and even Lady Gaga — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg — the movie is a delightful romp into the deepest, weirdest corners of writer/director Robert Rodriguez‘s brilliant mind.
In a nutshell, if you loved Machete Kills, you’d be crazy not to pick up the film, now available on Blu-ray.
