The tone shifts a lot, and that’s early on and there are some really fantastical stuff. It’s really coming out awesome though.Ĭapone: Yeah, the footage was so much more over the top that I thought it was going to be, but I don’t know why I’m surprised. All of my crew was working on PREDATORS, so it was just me and my sister literally editing this together and only now finishing it. RR: I had shot MACHETE, but I hadn’t finished editing it. Abrams was here watching the footage.Ĭapone: Really? That's great. Robert Rodriguez: I probably wasn’t prepared to.
Machete screenit movie#
Please enjoy Robert Rodriguez, talking about his good friend Danny Trejo and the little movie they made together called MACHETE…Ĭapone: So, the last time I talked to you, we didn’t even touch on MACHETE, and I don’t know why we didn’t. But it was great to see him twice in one year after never having met the man in my 12 years at Ain't It Cool News. The reason our talk was so short was that he was on the verge of hopping in a car to catch a plane, so we didn't have a lot of time. The reaction was great, and Rodriguez was clearly delighted with the response. All I would have to add to this fairly short discussion was that it took place at the tail end of a monster party at San Diego Comic-Con, during which uncensored, grotesque footage from MACHETE was unveiled.
Going it alone is not the way – we need our family, our friends and our community to survive.Since I just interviewed Robert Rodriguez earlier this year for PREDATORS, it seems silly to reintroduce him to you, since you already know his exceptional body of work. Men can be just as good at caring for younger creatures as women, and this is nothing to be embarrassed about. These are the main messages from this movie: Children will love the silly fart jokes, and the storyline is engaging enough to keep everyone happy. The animation is superb, and the movie is worth watching just for the stunning visual backdrop of the Chinese countryside in autumn. Ideas to discuss with your childrenĭuck Duck Goose is a standard adventure story with a strong moral theme. Product placementĭuck Duck Goose has some mild coarse language and toilet humour. For example, the chef’s pants fall down, and we see his bare bottom. Nudity and sexual activityĭuck Duck Goose has some nudity and sexual activity. He asks Peng things like, ‘Did you have some cookies?’ Small children will probably not understand this implication. The chicken says to the rooster, ‘Not now Stanley, not in front of the eggs’.ĭuck Duck Goose implies substance use in one scene where Peng is rescued by a hippy squirrel who behaves like he might be interested in marijuana. Peng makes suggestive comments to Jing Jing like ‘Let’s find a secluded spot to … (wink wink)’. They behave flirtatiously, kissing each other and eventually agreeing to make a family together. Peng is in love with a young goose called Jing Jing. A chicken repeatedly slaps her ‘husband’, the rooster, behind the head, because he’s not behaving properly.ĭuck Duck Goose has some sexual and romantic references. The chef chases the ducklings with a big machete. The chef stands over them with a machete. The two ducklings are on the chopping board at a restaurant. The evil cat attacks Peng, swiping him viciously over and over again. When a frog annoys Peng, he picks up the frog and throws it as hard as he can. Violenceĭuck Duck Goose has some animated violence. Strength in numbers families and friendship sticking with the group team work collectivism versus individualism putting others before yourself. Throughout the journey, Peng finally learns the value of sticking with your flock and gets in touch with the better side of his nature. The journey south is a madcap and perilous adventure, with the tomcat in hot pursuit. The trio are spotted by a villainous, crazy-eyed stray tomcat who decides they look like a good lunch. But things don’t go to plan, and Peng must make the journey south on foot.Īlong the way, he’s adopted by a pair of cute, orphaned ducklings, Chi (voice of Zendaya) and Chau (voice of Lance Lim), who’ve been separated from their own flock. 
To prove his point, he decides to hold back when the flock begins its yearly migration south for the winter, so that he can fly by himself and race the flock to its destination. He’s sure that it’s better to fly on your own rather than in formation. Peng (voice of Jim Gaffigan) is a young, overconfident, and immature gander who loves to show off and cause problems in his flock. It’s an animated adventure movie set against the backdrop of the stunning autumnal Chinese countryside. Duck Duck Goose is a Chinese-American production.
