I loved Planet Terror! it's by far one of the best films i've seen & has became on of my all-time favourite movies. I enjoyed it so much better than Death Proof because i found that death proof had too much story line and not enough action. Planet Terror on the other hand had it all, including comedy here & there which made the movie much more entertaining. Plus putting a chick with a gun for a leg as a main character made it much more interesting.
People think this is balls-to-the-wall punk gore-horror?
What?
The movie was basically PG-13. No gore, and I don't think pointless talking is "punk" at all. The serial killer using his car has been done so many times it's lame. If you want punk gore, go play No More Heroes (Wii). Now THAT is punk gore. I admire the grindhouse feel, but, contrary to this, real grindhouses actually had more than a single bloody scene that isn't that bloody.
Overrated by a thousand.
I've never seen Planet Terror, but when I do I'm sure I'll think the same thing.
This was an incredibly amazing anthology. Death Proof was by far the better movie, in my opinion, but Planet Terror wasn't too shabby either. I just preferred the more calm yet creepy, anticipation-of-the-kill type atmosphere of 'Proof' to the frantic atmosphere of 'Terror'. Both are great though, and the fake trailers are hilarious, yet seem almost authentic. This is one of the best movies of 2007. It's a shame about the box office.
Death Proof was the greatest film of 2007 i totally say it was a million times better then planet terror(which i think it was stupid and pointless)because of its great scene of the car crash,the girls killing the killer and the cars chasing scene the only thing bad was planet terror and the long dialogue of death proof.(by the way i only gave grindhouse a 10 because of death proof but if i would of rated grindhouse in two features like its soppused to be i would gived it a 5)
Didn't get on with Death Proof. The first 3 girl characters were really interesting and the mystery behind the stunt man at the beginning was interesting. Then the crash which was awsome.
BUT...after that it was boring, there was too much work done on the dialogue. All the women acted like Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction, I found them really irritating and pointless. That's until After the stuntman attavks them then it went up a notch. Other then that I was confused why Tarantino stopped the grind effect on screen, and it was obvious too. The idea was their but I found it weak. But as always he had memorable scenes, like the lap dance scene, and a fantastic soundtrack. It's worth seeing but I was disapointed. Especially with Mr Russle, I don't think he's character was used enough, I liked his character.
Planet Terror on the other hand was fucking fantastic, I advise anyone whos a great lover of horror to see it. It was funny as hell and the characters were well done. It's not supposed to be taken seriously, none of Grinhouse features are. Can't wait for Machete!
The best horror movie ever made hands down. I loved how it was so gritty feeling like back in the old grindhouses. The movies were sweet and really funny. The fake trailers and intermission was the best part about the whole movie. I was laughing so hard. This was the most fun ive ever had in a movie theater. Ya its cool that it came out on DVD but not together and they cut out the fake trailers...Now that pissed me off. I really hope the sequel comes out.
You just can’t fuck with this movie. If you don’t like Planet Terror, I have no urge to even acknowledge you as a person for your lack of stimulation to zombies, government conspiracy, prolific lines, murderous chick affairs, sanctimonious testicle stripping, BBQ recipe lessons (blood=salt), and Rose fucking McGowan as a one legged go-go dancer turned appendage arsenal. I could watch this movie everyday and still be astonished at the cohesion of dirty comedy, break your jaw action, and way-too-realistic puss and goo filled gore. Watch it, love it, and thank whatever god you want that Robert Rodriquez and Quentin Tarantino were sent to make films worth screaming over, worth quoting at every approachable moment, and worth the price to give you the best ocular orgasm rivaling Janine Loves Jenna.
Good ol badass old house gore. Let the imagination fill in the blanks. So what if the gore is old tech? It worked and that's the only thing that mattered. The plot in both movies was well done and copied it down to the suspense. There was a lot of things going on and that's what kept it entertaining.

Grindhouse the DVD cuts of the movies where awesome the theater cuts where lacking what the DVD cuts showed us from if Butterfly gives stunt man mike that lap dance
WTF happens between the time Cherry darling and El ray where doing it and why the F*** was the house on fire
the music is awesome chick habit was a good song to end on THE LAST RACE is an instant classic especially how the opening of death proof is at first about to say "Quentin Tarantino's THUNDERBO..." then cut to a frame saying "death proof"
Grindhouse was an exceptional piece of mastery created by the Tarantino and Rodriguez duo. Hopefully they'll come again one day and create another masterpiece equal to this experience.
Grindhouse 2 will hopefully quench my Grindhouse thirst as I always look for quality horror films.
11/10<- best theatre experience ever.

An all around celebration for a cinematic past time. Thoughtful homages, yet offers an original take as well. I will say that Planet Terror is the better half, but both films are entertaining in their own way.

This movie, has to be, one of the most amazing movies i have ever seen in my life. From the opening title scene with Cherry Darling gogo dancing, to the ending with stuntman mike, i was very entertained. And i can say that before this movie came out, i have never heard of a grindhouse movie. Now i will never forget. Planet terror is just a fun, gory, violent movie from start to finish. With some great special effects with the gun leg. Death proof, might have been a little slower, with a lot of dialouge, but when the car chase/crash scenes come, you will be on the edge of your seat. Grindhouse is overall one of the best horror movies of our time, and probably the best horror movie of 2007. You owe yourself to see this one.
