Grindhouse: Planet Terror vs Death Proof

There's a couple "missing reel" segments. One from Planet Terror bothered me a bit, because the movie jumps like 15 minutes and you deliberately miss some vital info.

The 'missing reel' in Planet Terror was hilarious and I'm glad they thought of it.
 
Honestly does it really matter? Its like in every movie there is a formal that we are use to when everything comes together or everyone becomes friends. Just skip the B/S and show me blood. It worked well for theme in Grindhouse but i could see how it can get aggravating if more movies pick up on it.

Rodriguez knew exactly where to "lose footage."


Well if you really want to see Rose McGowan naked that badly check out her first major role in "The Doom Generation"
 
It’s still a great movie to see it’s the better known out of the teen apocalypse trilogy. Okay fine I might have a crush..
 
I've got to resurrect this thread.
Spoilers might be possible, so don't read this if you still want to see the movie.

SuAside: Any word on how they'd work out the fake trailers if they split the production?
no clue. the reasoning they're using is that the european audience never had a concept like a grindhouse (movies back to back). but i'm guessing they just want to make people pay twice for the same movie...

That's it. I've seen it in October on two successive days. Both movies were shown in the smallest room of the cinema (I guess the screen was about 6-10 meters wide and there were about 30 seats) and there were about ten people watching. (I thought more people would watch Planet Terror, since it was the opening might) So the atmosphere was actually fitting...
The Machete trailer was shown before Planet Terror. They didn't show any of the other trailers.
I liked both movies very much. I didn't find Death Proof boring at all. I loved all those little references to Kill Bill and his other films.
I wouldn't say Planet Terror was "better", because you can't really compare it to Death Proof. It's a different kind of film. During the first half hour of Planet Terror I had a strange feeling, the kind of feeling you get, when you know that the plot will turn out _really_ bad. The feeling soon went away because the film made a change from deadly serious to hilariously funny. :mrgreen:
I haven't seen any trailer prior to watching Grindhouse, so I really had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that Tarantino and Rodriguez made a B-movie-like double-feature, Tarantinos part featuring some kind of serial killer chasing some chicks and Rose McGowan wielding a leg-mounted M16 in Rodriguez' part. Boy, was I surprized to encounter a guy with some kind of testicle-scissors collecting the balls of his foes, hordes of zombies being shred to pieces by a chopper and Quentin Tarantino trying to rape a one-legged stripper while parts of his dick start to fall off.

This film deserves a lot more appreciation. Well, at least I can say I'm one of the few people who have seen it. :mrgreen:
 
Having seen both "extended" versions, I have to say Planet Terror was a strong 3/5 while Death Proof was a struggling 2/5.
 
I love Planet Terror. (For me) it was the best zombie movie since years..
 
Death Proof is not bed as you think, it is just ok but not better than Planet Terror, but i liked Kurt Russell he played very well role, and the his dressing style is so nice.

But is good to know Death Proof isn't a bed, I was planning on sleeping on the DVD tonight. You saved me.
 
Death Proof ..... Kurt Russell looking trendy in his icy patches jacket (http://goo.gl/xltndJ), This silver jacket available at Slimfit Jackets online store but they have 2 types with patches and without patches jacket .... I love with patches
 
Planet Terror is way better than Death Proof.I watched both i liked more the Planet Terror ,because it has more action and i almost laughed at scene of Quentin Tarantino lol.And Death Proof don't have that action like Planet Terror with shooting,but it has racing.
 
Planet Terror tried too hard. 2/5
Death Proof could have been great, but was ruined by boring dialogue and the "girl power!" ending. 3/5
