To celebrate the release of mexploitation epic Machete, we take a look at some other topics ripe for the ‘sploitation treatment.

Another spectacular from Robert Rodriguez, Machete is based on the popular trailer which accompanied the Grindhouse double bill. An absolute must-see for anyone who likes a good old fashioned exploitation film, although audiences unfamiliar with the previous work may get confused.

George Clooney’s latest film, gun-toting thriller The American, has taken $20 million in the last week.

After weeks of rumours, it appears that Rodriguez is close to confirming that he will direct Deadpool.
