“Machete Kills” is a 2013 action film and a sequel to the 2010 film “Machete”. The film, directed by Robert Rodriguez, is notable for its over-the-top and zany ideas.
The plot revolves around the former Mexican federal agent Machete Cortez, who is assigned by the US government to stop a crazy drug lord named Mendez, who wants to fire a missile at the US president. Machete must perform a series of absurd and dangerous tasks to complete his mission.
One of the most iconic scenes in the film is when Machete jumps out of a flying helicopter and glides through the air in his machete suit. In this scene, he manages to take out a group of mercenaries and lands safely on top of a moving car.
Another memorable scene is when Machete encounters a maniacal arms dealer named Miss San Antonio, who is equipped with a weapon system called “The Chameleon”. The system allows her to transform into different characters, which leads to some amusing and absurd moments.
The film is full of quirky characters, such as the multi-billionaire Voz, who wants to create a space colony to save humanity, or the mutant clone of Machete, who fights his creator in an endless battle. These characters contribute to the film’s exaggeration and madness.
