But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence.

    Plot: Lucas Cano, (Machete) an ex-bodyguard for the Mexican President, tired of his life style, retires to a remote small town in Mexico, in hope of finding peace. But things do not work out for him the way he wants them to. First, he must confront several drug dealers who smuggle illegal immigrants into the United States, forcing them to smuggle drugs. Then, Machete finds out that his old Vietnam friend, who now works for the CIA in Arizona, has been assigned to arrest Machete, and take him back to the US for some old charges. Machetes health is deteriorating rapidly. He is constantly bleeding internally, but he wont stop drinking and smoking. Panchito is a little boy Machete met in a street fight, and the little boy, claiming not to have any family, decides to hang out with Machete and tries to help him change his life style. Machete does not know that a higher power is watching out for him. Panchito is an angel sent by God to save his body and soul. Esperanza (Pelancho) meets Machete when one of the drug dealers (and immigrant smugglers) tries to rape her. Esperanza immediately feels a connection between them, but cant tell what it is. Machete gets the same feeling and starts to investigate who the girl is and where she come from. Esperanzas mother, convinced by the local priest to tell Esperanza the connection between her and Machete, confesses to her but it is too late. Machete has been shot by Ruidoso and is dying.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    Credits scroll backwards.

    Goofs: We know about 3 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Factual errors: The illuminated numbers seen on the locomotives should show the locomotive number, not the train number. (It is true that there are instances where the lead locomotive number may be used as a train number, but that cant be the case here because here because the train number was known in advance. And even if it was, the trains second locomotive would still show a different number.)

    Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Lead actor Pablo Esparza (Machete) had never ridden a horse before.
    • Actor Antonio Mendoza (who plays the devil) is blind in real life.
    • Actor Jose Menjarez had to repeat his running scenes 12 times (chased by a pickup truck). The temperature was close to 100 degrees.
