** Madam Desdemona is insane, gleefully telling a torture victim about how she bit her own father's balls off and went to school the next day with bits of them still in her teeth. But she has also turned her bras into deadly firearms, and [[spoiler: fires bullets from a strap on later]].
** Mendez proudly calls himself crazy "with a capital C", but he's such a diabolical WildCard that one can't help but be impressed.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Killjoy has only two lines, and disappears from the film along with the rest of Desdemona's gang in the third act. But due to the novelty of her being played by a [[SheIsAllGrownUp now grown up]] Creator/AlexaVega means she's very remembered. The fake trailer at the start for ''Machete Kills Again In Space'' even spotlights her, suggesting she was intended to have a bigger role in a hypothetical third film.[[note]]Alexa explained in an interview that the role was intended as a featured extra, and only given to her after she called Robert Rodriguez up and lobbied to be in the film. With no time to expand it too much, there would have been the promise of more screen time had the third film been made.[[/note]]

* TrappedByMountainLions: The El Camaleon subplot ties into the main story ultimately very little; only ending up picking up Machete after he escapes from Voz, and he then escapes him before he can do anything of importance. [[spoiler: He's then unceremoniously killed by equally insignificant characters, rendering most of his screen time pointless]].
* ViewerNameConfusion: Amber Heard's character actually has a name - Bianca Vasquez - but is remembered more for being 'Miss San Antonio', which she even refers to herself as when calling the president.
