Sypnosis
Based on the "fake" trailer in
Grindhouse, the feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Danny Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro), a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin), his "holy" brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan), a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
Rose McGowan's Role
Rose McGowan plays Boots McCoy, the insanely cool and equally deadly assassin. She's an expert in silent kill and has a really, really cute Boston Terrier (played by Bug McGowan). Boots can sometimes also be seen arriving to a crime scene with a cat - and later on, leaving without one... The scenes featuring Boots McCoy did not, in fact, make it in the theatrical version of the movie but can be found on the DVD and Blu-ray releases. They're well worth a watch!

Quotes: Rose McGowan
• "I must admit that is a real honor to bring to life the Amy Blue hairstyle. I go back to my first cinematic role."
• "The director asked me to come up different methods of killing without a sound. I had the idea to hide razor blades in the mouth and once joked about using a squirrel as a silencer, which turned into the idea of the use of a cat."
