Grindhouse - Watch Order: Machete Films
The Machete series represents the only true sequel relationship within the Grindhouse universe. Beginning with Danny Trejo's fake trailer character, these films expanded into their own satirical action franchise.
Both films follow the same over-the-top universe and characters, with Machete Kills serving as a direct sequel that ends on a cliffhanger for the never-produced Machete Kills Again. These films embrace increasingly absurd sci-fi elements while maintaining their exploitation roots.

Machete Kills
Ex-Federale agent Machete is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
