So maybe a double-feature tribute to '70's B movies wasn't such a good idea. The film got mixed reviews and a relativly poor box-office reception. Between foreign markets and DVD, the thing may have broke even. The two movies themselves are very uneven. But they have their moments. What makes this a winning package, to me at least, is the trailers. Especially the one for Machete. This is an example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
