So, This is Happening
I didn’t realize that Machete Kills was actually a sequel in the works, not just a tagline at the end of the first Machete to keep up with the Grindhouse theme. It does indeed seem that a new film is coming this fall, and with it, Sophia Vergara and her boob guns. Of course this exists.
I’m trying to think about the physical implausibility of this, which I know is a mistake, but I’m doing it anyway. For a gun in that location, particularly one with a high fire rate as shown, you’d probably actually have to have NO boobs, instead of ample ones like Ms. Vergara here. If there was an empty chamber behind that metal, you’d have a shot at fitting in the sort of machinery you’d need to fire a weapon like that, but otherwise? There’s just no way, unless the metal was INSIDE the boob itself, which would be the most uncomfortable implant job ever.
And with that, I’m done over-analyzing boob guns for the day.
Why is this happening?
I thougt Robert Rodriguez was a better director than this. I really liked Planet Terror but this grindhouse madness of his has to stop, it’s gotten to be nothing more than just gimmicky. I was afraid that Tarantino would tread down this path, his later movies have been kind of in the exploitation genre but at least he is still original and depends on a good script and great acting, not just boobguns.
Lets just hope A Dame to Kill For will be good, even though it’s co-directed by Frank Miller can’t seem to do anything that isn’t horrible these days.
