You'll get your money's worth with this one. PLANET TERROR is gross, silly, and a lot of fun. After some great fake trailers DEATH PROOF sorta slows the whole thing down. The inconsistent tone and pace may be intentional, but the long dialogue scenes feel out of place, and the first batch of unlikeable characters are developed for too long. Fortunately it leads up to a decent car chase and a "what the hell was that" kind of ending. Overall, GRINDHOUSE mostly succeeds with the theme.

Clear difference between the two movies. Planet Terror is meant to be over the top and parodic, while Death Proof is more of a tribute to the genre in general. Both movies are incredible in their own right. The overal menacing atmosphere in Death Proof is simply... well, menacing. And the last half hour is jaw-dropping. Planet Terror was less deep, but doesn't fuck around and is meant to be just what it is. The trailers were nothing short of hysterical. Did not disappoint in the least.

I wanted to like this much more than I did. Rodriguez's film is the stronger film, but Tarantino's film had better moments (however brief they may have been). The trailers in between the films were fantastic too, especially Edgar Wright's contribution.

The "double feature" format for these films only underlines what a failed, albeit interesting, experiment these were for Rodriguez and Tarantino, as they straddle the awkward line between parody and sincerity; if either film-maker had sincerely committed to making an artful grindhouse movie, this would have been far more enjoyable. Car chases aside, PROOF is a surprisingly dreary mess, with TERROR by far the better realised half. The additional trailers at intermission are beautifully executed.

Deathproof is standard Tarantino pap... over indulgent dialogue about the 70s for 40-odd minutes then a little action. Rinse and repeat. Rodriguez's Planet Terror is excellent all over with all the necessary components for gory schlock present. Skip Deathproof and head straight for the good stuff.

Planet terror is nice, and has some original items. The fictional trailers in between the two movies are great, something that can't be said of Death proof, Tarantino's worst movie... But, the whole concept makes it worth to watch!

Rodrguez and Tarantino bring ambition and a take-no-sh*t attitude to the screen that sticks to you, but i will say Rodriguez's campy 'Planet Terror' pales in comparison to Tarantino's dialogue-driven 'Death Proof.' All-in-all, an entertaining 3 and a half hour ride.

The concept is genius and I loved it.Planet Terror is perfect and by far the best of the 2 films,Deathproof however is boring and didnt quite capture the feel as Planet Terror did.The trailers are excellent and a great part of the overall feel.All in all a great piece of work and well worth a watch.

Unbelievably stupid and violent, but it may also be one of the best things ever put together for cinema. Planet Terror is the funnier, sillier, insane adrenaline rush while Death Proof is more dramatic with some quirky dialogue and "ooohh!" sort of violence. The fake trailers are a real delight. See this in the theatre! You'll have a great time.

I don't know what this is meant to be. It's not a homage. "Chinatown" is a homage to Film Noir in the sense that uses many of the standard elements of that genre to tell a new story that was relevant to it's own era (also see "Body Heat"). This is not like that at all. It's almost parody, only it doesn't contain jokes. Taking generic action films and ramping everything up past 11 does not make something a Grindhouse homage.

Tarantino's bit is indulgent and boring, too much in love with the idea of making a trashy exploitation movie to actually do a decent job of it. Rodriguez on the other hand deliveres a genuinely fun splattery mess. The fake trailers are worth a laugh and as a whole the double bill is amusing if a bit exhausting.

Both my ratings for Death Proof and Planet Terror are lower than Grindhouse. Why? Simply put watching them back to back with absurd but hilarious previews for faux-movies in the beginning really does add to the experience. Both Planet Terror and Death Proof are entertaining and if you like either director this is a must see.

This film gets such a high score because of the experience it brought to the theater. Both films were very solid, Death Proof being the better of the two, while Planet Terror was all blood and no guts. The two movies were glued together with some great fake trailers that really helped to set the mood. I feel sorry for those that waited to catch this double feature on DVD, because it just isn't the same.

Fully captures the exhilarating 50s feel of watching a drive-in movie on a saturday night, which is both good and bad. This double-trouble feature includes two films. The first is Planet Terror, a silly, outrageous, over-the-top ridiculously gorey throwback to the legendary cult zombie era of the 70s, started by George A. Romero and continued here. Death Proof is an equally worthy successor. It's menancing, stylish, focused and cleverly paced. Who can resist the fake trailer too? Just brilliant.

I have to say that Tarantino's Death Proof was a disappointment. Fortunately, Rodriguez nailed his end of the double feature; Planet Terror has the edge in every category, from its over-the-top visuals and action to the very funny dialogue, acting, and plot. After Planet Terror, Death Proof seems a somewhat superfluous entertainment.

Why are these people _celebrating_ bad, offensive, gory, offensive, inhumane, offensive, lousy, offensive, foul, offensive movies that are better off decomposing like most of the characters in this odious movie? Why are some of you playing games of intellectual self-abuse to justify demeaning and dehumanising "entertainment" of the sort represented by this movie? Movies like this are proof that civilization is in decay.

Fucking extreme to the max! Everything is awesome, the only real lull is the first half of Death Proof...but obviously by my score it wasn't much of a lull. The whole experience was just wonderful. The fake trailers are all unique, extreme, hilarious, and wonderful. My favorite thing was probably the cast of Death Proof, Kurt Russell is brilliant. Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms and Zoe Bell are pretty much the greatest chick trio ever put to film.

Just an incredible moviegoing experience. Planet Terror is over the top nonstop fun. Rose McGowan is great in both her roles. A very successful homage to the exploitation genre. Death Proof, on the other hand, seems to rework the exploitation genre, making it more an interesting character study. Kurt Russell is awesome. The main theme to Grindhouse is incredible. The trailers are the highlight, the best being "Don't."

The fake trailers in-between the features were good fun. Planet Terror surprisingly didn't impress me as much as I hoped. I liked some of the special effects/action, but it didn't offer anything I hadn't already seen in previous zombie films. Now Death Proof worked better for me. Not perfect though as there's a bunch of lengthy scenes with pointless dialogue and whiny girls that drag it down, but the aesthetic Tarantino brings and the big car chase sequence the film has is cool.

Just got to see a revival of this at a local theater the way it was originally shown after missing out during its initial run. The trailers are the best part, so many of the best ones never ended up on either dvd. Planet Terror is also the best part. Death Proof is not the best part. Especially the theatrical cut.

oddly less than the sum of it's parts. Planet Terror fun, gooey b-movie gore. Fun trailers. Tarantino's Death Proof even in it's shorter version is full of his dialogue when it should be full of great giallo fun. Well at least he came on to his own with "Once upon a time in hollywood". that movie at 2h41 min went down smoother and felt at the right pace than Death Proof at any lenght.

A homage to exploitation flicks, 'Grindhouse' is a double-bill of two outrageous pictures with some equally outrageous fake trailers and other touches thrown in to really seal the deal. While 'Death Proof' proves to be the weaker of the features due to a poorly paced first half, both its second half and the disgustingly action-packed 'Planet Terror' pick up the slack.

"PT": 77/100 "DP": 80/100 (77 80)/2=78,5 1,5 bonus points for the concept and for the fun trailers. Mathematics, people. Both films were terrific and although "Death Proof" was definitely slower and more pretentious, I'm a sucker for Tarantino dialogue and it's got that jaw-dropping chase so I liked that one slightly better. Both perfectly nailed the disparaging yet loving homage to 70s exploitation trash feel the project was all about AND managed to be deliriously enjoyable in the process.

I didn't watch the original Grindhouse version, but made a personal one with both extended versions and all trailers, I had a good time and I even wasn't able to think what could be took off. I guess I would've enjoyed the original exactly the same anyway, they would just look a bit lighter. Planet Terror was a good (more obvious) parody, and Death Proof a closer to grindhouse one, fun without being so obvious. Like them both, the experience, but slightly more Death Proof. And love the trailers.
