An homage to exploitation films (often showed in theaters called 'grindhouses'). Actually a double-feature of 'Planet Terror' and 'Death Proof'.

Trivia:

The faux trailer for the fictional film "Machete" inspired the production of the 2010 Danny Trejo film of the same name.

Reference: Spy Kids

Danny Trejo plays a character named Machete in a fake trailer. Robert Rodriguez wrote and directed the trailer as well. The original Grindhouse trailer (under the title screen) is registered to "Machete's Body Shop". This was also the name of Trejo's Spy Kids character's business.

Quote: Voice over

If you're gonna hire Machete to kill the bad guy, you better make damn sure the bad guy isn't YOU!
