01
Hobo with a Shotgun
Why this pick
Like Machete, it is a knowingly excessive grindhouse throwback: a weathered avenger, cartoonishly corrupt villains, lurid violence, and a proudly rough-edged B-movie pulse.

SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
If you loved Machete, try these.
01
02
Drive Angry
Why this pick
Matches Machete’s gleeful exploitation energy with a near-indestructible antihero, revenge momentum, outrageous set pieces, and a self-aware commitment to pulp absurdity.
03
Planet Terror
Why this pick
Robert Rodriguez brings the same scratched-film grindhouse aesthetic, deadpan comic-book characters, gory mayhem, and exhilaratingly shameless action escalation.
04
The Man from Nowhere
Why this pick
For Machete’s stoic, lethal protector appeal, this delivers a taciturn outsider pushed into a brutal underworld, with propulsive revenge tension and sharply staged action.
05
Brawl in Cell Block 99
Why this pick
A less jokey but similarly uncompromising vehicle for a physically formidable man: it favors grimy genre texture, blunt force, and escalating violence over polished action spectacle.

A little about the film.
In Mexico, Machete, a Mexican people ''Federales'' and his younger partner are on a mission to rescue a kidnapped girl. During the operation, his partner is killed, the kidnapped girl stabs him in the leg before being killed herself, and Machete is betrayed by his corrupt Chief to the powerful drug lord and former Federal, Rogelio Torrez, who kills Machete's wife and implies that he will kill his daughter before leaving him for dead.
