Machete Previous Apparitions In Other Movies

The movie Machete, starring Danny Trejo as Machete, was released on September 3rd, 2010. It has had a quite large success since it hit the theaters. What most people have forgotten though is that the Machete character has made some apparitions in other movies before having an official movie.

1.The Desperado

Starring Antonio Banderas as The Mariachi. The movie is showing The Mariachi's journey to take down a notorious Mexican drug dealer named Bucho.

This movie was released on August 25th, 1995. A second movie titled Once Upon A Time In China co-starring Johnny Depp was released 8 years later.

In this movie, Danny Trejo plays a character named Narvajas instead of Machete. It is not sure whether it is the same character or not, but narvajas actually means "knives", and Narvajas had the same looks and attitude as Machete.

2.Spy Kids

It's the story of Carmen and Juni, the two children of a couple of veteran spies, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez

When the spy parents are kidnapped by a supervillain, Carmen and Juni discover their secret, and have to become spies themselves in order to save them.
