VIDEO: Danny Trejo, Star Of Machete, In A Mini-Documentary (Part Two)


SA Studios was commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox to produce a series of viral videos promoting the film “Machete” starring Danny Trejo. Estevan Oriol directs this second lifestyle video in the series, revisiting Danny Trejo’s neighborhood where he grew up and interacting with fans at car shows in East LA.

Best part of this video? When Danny says that the Machete trailer was the best part of Grindhouse. I have to agree. Then again I’d agree with pretty much anything Danny says. I’m not trying to get stabbed. Was that a racial joke, or a because he plays Machete? You decide. After the jump, SA Studios orchestrated a true meeting of the minds when it introduced Machete star Danny Trejo to world-renowned visual artist David Choe. Inspired by Danny’s iconic face, David Choe crafted original poster art based on Machete as a tribute. SA Studios was on-hand to capture this unique pairing and document the creation of David Choe’s original Machete art.
