The machete. The perfect weapon. Unlike a Chainsaw Good, it doesn't need a power source, it never jams, and you can actually swing it like a sword. Unlike a katana, you don't need to pay hundreds of dollars for a decent one and you don't need years of training to effectibely wield it. Unlike a kitchen knife, you can actually lop someone's head off. And unlike a scythe, you can actually kill someone with it. That could be why they've become so popular in pretty much any movie where people get hacked to bits. Examples of Machete Mayhem include:

The original application, like a lot of such implements of destruction, is agricultural; they were used to clear undergrowth. It was a necessary tool for picking sugarcane in the Caribbean early on. Particularly useful for cutting the heads off the non-venomous snakes that were apt to bite cane-pickers. And, you know, actually picking the sugarcane. See Kukris Are Kool for the machete's Nepalese twin brother. Compare and contrast Chainsaw Good, Knife Nut, and Sinister Scythe. Examples of Machete Mayhem include:
