Check out Cold Steel's selection of machetes--they're very good for the price. I've not seen the film, but it sounds like one of their latin machetes might fit the bill.

The great majority of those (obviously enough) were fabricated from aluminum specifically for the movie; there are a few that could be Tramontinas or some other cheap Latin brands, but yeah. It'd honestly be pretty easy to make one of these yourself from some sheet steel and get it heat-treated somewhere cheap...

Have Chris at Scorpion make you one--that thing is right up his alley.

The one at Trueswords is stainless, yeah, but they also claim it's "tempered"... I dunno. Stainless steel isn't inherently worthless, in fact, but it's a major pain to heat treat properly, and at such a low price I really doubt it. Without first-hand reports to the contrary, I'd assume it's nothing more than a cheap display/cosplay piece.
