These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
And the Fandom Rejoiced: At the casting of Mel Gibson as the villain in Machete Kills. This is mainly it's pretty much a known fact that Machete will kill him.
Anvilicious: Invoked. The whole film is so insanely over-the-top that Rodriguez would have been crazy to try shoehorning in a serious political message; it's liable to make you laugh out loud whichever side of the U.S. Border debate you're on. Crosses into Fridge Brilliance when you realize the movie is done in the same spirit as ridiculously cheesy Blaxploitation flicks, where corny, awkward social statements, stereotypes, and violence against hilariously over-the-top oppressors were par for the course.
Complete Monster: Every major Big Bad is this. They have no qualms killing women, pregnant women, unarmed men, kids, preachers, and even their own Mooks.
The unnamed naked girl in the beginning, who takes out a giant brick cellphone hidden in her erm... natural pocket. Too bad the mood's killed when she is.
Michelle Rodriguez's sheer presence drives the FF Quotient up considerably.
Rodriguez, Lohan and Jessica Alba all in the same movie definesFetish Fuel. And imagine if Alba's twin sister hadn't wound up on the cutting room floor.
"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In this film, Steven Seagal plays a Mexican drug lord who doesn't even botherto try an accent. In 2011, Seagal was sworn in as a sheriff's deputy in a west Texas county, charged with handling immigrants who try to—what else?—cross the border.
Thats really more Hilarious in Hindsight. Though admittedly the thought of Steven Seagal being given that much authority is a bit scary.
Narm: "We didn't cross the border! The border crossed us!" Obviously intentional, and before that...
"Machete don't text."
Machete's wife's beheading is deliberately filmed, so that when Torres completes his swing, her head's still attached a good two seconds. The head falling to the ground is so fast and sudden, it's hilarious.
Machete's gigantic... machete. It's bigger than him.
Squick: The female hostage from the opening was hiding a mobile phone in her vagina. No! NO! Those do not go there!
