Isador Cortez, primarily known under the alias of Machete, is the name of two fictional characters who are featured in the Spy Kids and Machete films (the latter of which is also featured in a fake trailer in Grindhouse). Both versions of the character are played by Danny Trejo. The Spy Kids and Machete film series depict different versions of the character, and director Robert Rodriguez has stated that their continuities are not connected.
