[edit] Plot Summary?

How exactly can one write a plot summary of a movie that hasn't been filmed yet? Clampton 14:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, the film is an extrapolation of the fake trailer in Grindhouse, which pretty much states the entire plot. However, making assumptions would be original research, unless it's phrased as "the plot from the trailer is blah blah blah".
I do think the "a plot summary is needed" tag on this page is BS, though; I've commented it out. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nightwolf

There is a very similar character in the MK series...Nightwolf. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.37.25.81 (talk) 04:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Just read the article on Nightwolf and there's nothing similar about them. 200.23.91.240 16:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC) ^{(Hey! Listen!)}

[edit] Spy Kids

Regarding the spin-off discussion here...I somewhat highly doubt that a Grindhouse flick would function as a Spy Kids spinoff...o.O Besides, as its stated, plans for Machete have dated back to 1993, and thus, Trejo had several characters in his movies named Machete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 02:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Funny. I was watching Spy Kids the other day and I had not made the connection until now; I had forgotten Danny Trejo's character there was also called Machete. Though there is a connection with Spy Kids and Machete, though I don't think they'd link them ... as Machete is definitely not a kid's movie. O_O 189.180.66.54 (talk) 15:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This project is not in production, so per the notability guidelines for films, I'd suggest merging the content to a broader article. if no one protests, I'll go ahead and put a WP:PROD template up. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Production

Has this film actually gone into production yet? The article states production was to start w/ Sin 2, but that has yet to start filming either.-66.109.248.114 (talk) 21:49, 10 February 2008 (UTC).
