* BrokenBase: Robert [=DeNiro=] is either wildly miscast as Senator [=McLaughlin=] or an absolutely genius.
* FanPreferredCutContent: Creator/RoseMcGowan filmed several scenes as a character who was cut from the film - as one of Osiris's henchwomen who's actually responsible for [[spoiler: shooting Luz]].
* ItWasHisSled: The movie is memorable for subverting the usual [[spoiler: Michelle Rodriguez dying in action movies, by having her turn up in the climax with an eyepatch and resume kicking ass]].
* LoveToHate:
** Don Johnson is a real scene stealer as Von, despite what a nasty piece of work he is.
** Torres is an out and out evil person, but Steven Seagal makes him very charismatic that you eagerly await Machete facing off with him.
** Booth similarly is a shit-tier human being, especially for [[spoiler: crucifying Machete's brother (who's also a priest)]], but there's no denying [[EvilIsCool he's very impressive in his effectiveness]] and has enough [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes sympathetic qualities]] that one can feel both satisfied and a little sad at his [[spoiler: accepting his demise]].
** April isn't exactly evil and is more annoying and stupid, but Creator/LindsayLohan AdamWesting the public persona she had at the time makes her very enjoyable to watch.

** "We didn't cross the border! ''The border crossed us!''" Obviously intentional.
** "''Machete don't text.''"

* NarmCharm:
** The ridiculous RussianReversal of "we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us!" is so silly it's clearly intentional given what type of film this is.
** The RunningGag of "Machete don't text" should come across as equally ridiculous but Danny Trejo makes it hilarious.

* SoBadItsGood: Intentional, SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Jessica Alba spent most of course.
*the 2000s playing bland MsFanservice roles that were never more than passable, and she had been experiencing backlash to her attempts at going into romantic comedies. Here she is at first very detestable as a SmugSnake, has a convincing HeelRealization and believably falls in love with Machete. The irony with which she delivers her RousingSpeech makes it both an amusing parody and still powerful all the same.
