Remember SpyKids?

[Captainfantastic]

I sure do! It was a really cool movie back in the day! Remember Danny Trejo? He was great in that as Uncle Machete!

FUN FACT FOR LIFE: Uncle Machete is Machete from the Machete movies!

 

WHAAAAAAT?!?

 

Yeah turns out this is like a real thing since the same guy directed both! Who knew!?

 

this is information I learned from The Weekly Planet Podcast(great podcast[hello to any fellow weekly wakadodos]) 

 

any other weird movie tie ins?

 

or just fun(or spooky) fan theories?

I am so lost. I don't know what you're talking about. This either means I'm too young, or more likely is that I'm *gulp* too old.

Hell yeah I remember Spy Kids! I use to watch Spy Kids 2 to death when I was a kid. Gotta give mad props Robert Rodriguez, the Spy Kids movies must've been a lot of work considering he does most of the work himself.

I just recently learned about the Spy Kids/Machete connection, actually! Haha

It's been many years since I've watched Spy Kids, so I honestly didn't even remember Machete being in the movies at all.

 

One of my favorite universe connections is the Daredevil/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one. The same can of radioactive waste that hit Daredevil in the face, giving him his superpowers, later fell into the sewer where 4 little turtles were able to get into it, thus also creating the TMNT. Lol

Used to love it as a kid. Really thought it was cool. I've rewatched it again recently and it now feels so '90. Or so.

Um Han Su from Fast and the Furious is the same Han Su as in Better Luck Tomorrow. Lone Ranger is the Green Hornet's uncle.  Stuff like that?

Yer missing out on a wildly fun action comedy then.  Basic premise: two superspies from opposing countries fall in love, get married and have kids.  Parents get kidnapped by a crazed media mogul, so the kids (aided by various relatives and family friends) have to go rescue them.  Hilarity ensues.  Gadgets! Rocket packs!  Killer robot kids!  Fake mustaches! Flooglies!

 

Robert Rodriguez is a great action director, and he obviously had fun with this film.  The sequels were a mess, but the first one is well worth watching.
