The trailer for Danny Trejo's new flick 'Bad Ass' has been making it's way around the Internet, and it is sparking all types of controversy. Is this a real movie? is this really gonna happen? Can a film possibly be THIS BAD ASS? Trejo looks like he is going even more over the top than he did in Machette... and that is WAY over the top. But on another note, I think this is exactly what Trejo should be doing. These movies are wacky, look like they are relatively inexpensive to make, and are putting Trejo in a starring role instead of being a supporting character. Considering the success of grindhouse-type fare such as Hobo With A Shotgun, Death Proof and Machete in recent years, I think this would go over gangbusters. Enter in Ron "Hellboy" Pearlman and Charles "Roc" Dutton into the mix and this movie looks unreal. What do you guys think?

***On A Side Note***
This is "Epic Beard Man", the viral video that seems to be the basis for Bad Ass. You have to watch this video. It will be the best 3 minutes and 21 seconds of your day. Sick!!!
Not totally convinced this is for real. But who knows. It makes use of a few shots from the Schwarzenegger/Belushi 80's cinematic classic "Red Heat." All those big bus crash shots. Check out below...

Also the very end of the trailer reads...
"©2012 AMBER LAMPS, LLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED"
"Amber Lamps" was a meme spun off from the Epic Beard Man.

And it does have an April release date. Perhaps for fools?
That said i do hope it is real, cause it looks ridiculawesome.
