While the movie is real, this trailer is something the director put together as a joke for all his fans.
From the Aint it Cool News website:
"A FAMILY FRIENDLY “MACHETE?” WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO RACE WAR? EXCLUSIVE ROBERT RODRIGUEZ INTERVIEW!!
Hey folks, Harry here... and today... today is a very good day. Why? Well, first off we will learn a bit more about MACHETE - straight from Robert Rodriguez, who I decided to ask a few questions on the record - to kind of settle up what's the TRUTH about MACHETE - and what is the insane paranoid drivel of madmen with Talk Shows & Drudge Reports...
I KNOW YOU’RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT A SECRET PROJECT,
BUT FIRST, THAT CINCO DE MAYO “ILLEGAL” MACHETE TRAILER SHOWED UP EVERYWHERE, RIGHT?
No joke! I guess I’ve gotten too adept at these fake trailers, some people thought it was real. We both knew Fox would have to remove anything we put up that very same day, yet I saw that even IMDB had it on their front page for several days as the “OFFICIAL MACHETE TRAILER”, as I’m sure other sites did too. I probably should have added a note at the end of it saying “IGNORE MR. TRAILER VOICE, this is NOT A REAL TRAILER to MACHETE.”"
SOME PEOPLE WROTE IN THINKING THAT IT WAS FOR A MOVIE ABOUT A RACE WAR.
It isn’t. I would not put out a movie like that. Not only would that be irresponsible, it’d be dull and un-entertaining.
I simply wanted to make a special trailer that was as absurd as what was happening in Arizona. So I took some coincidentally timely lines of dialogue from the old original fake trailer from 3 years ago and from the new movie, reconfigured action beats, and cut it all out of context to make it look like the entire film was about Machete leading a revolt against anti-immigration politicians and border vigilantes. What can I say, it was Cinco de Mayo and I had too much tequila.
Anyway, that’s not what the movie is. In fact the main villain and Machete’s nemesis is a Mexican drug lord from a powerful cartel (played by Steven Seagal) that kills Machete’s family and runs him out of Mexico for being an honest cop, which is why Machete’s forced to work as a day laborer in the US.

It was funny.
They should use this in every campaign against a someone who is promoting "Immigration Reform".
