terry the lone wolf Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! The return of the schlock cult movies of the late sixties & seventies. Quote

Roy Focker Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Wait I'm confused. Was she (the character) one legged to begin with and thet mount the gun in the story or does she lose the leg during the movie? Quote
chowyunskinny Posted December 23, 2006 Author Posted December 23, 2006 i'm pretty sure she loses it during the movie I believe Planet Terror is a Zombie Flick Quote
chowyunskinny Posted December 23, 2006 Author Posted December 23, 2006 I like the older promo trailer a little better as it shows more check it out if you haven't seen it http://www.iklipz.com/Movies.aspx?MovieID=...b7-ca0306bcf698 Quote
Sumdumgai Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) So has anyone seen it yet? Edit: I mean the movie, obviously. Edited April 7, 2007 by Sumdumgai Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I'm looking to see it next week seeing as I'm on vacation. The movie around 3 hours and 12 minutes too. YIKES. Quote
chrono Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I believe Planet Terror is a Zombie Flick Zombie Flick + Tarantino = Stylized Autopsies But maybe he'll find his true calling and only start putting out gore movies instead of the other stuff that he pushs as movies. *begins to wonder what he could do with a Toxic Avenger remake....* Quote
chowyunskinny Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 Just got back from seeing it and Frackin Loved It Best 12 bucks I've spent and the most fun I've had at a movie in a while (but I dig Rodriguez and Tarantino flicks like a fat kid digs cake) So if you don't like movies by either of these directors, then go see The Reaping, Are We Done Yet or Wild Hogs instead I liked Rodriguez's Planet Terror more than Tarantino's Death Proof, but as a total package it was definitely worth the Price of Admission. Planet Terror - what can I say? Gore, hot broads, bullets, and did I mention Gore? Death Proof was a bit wordy and it was a little slow in the beginning, but the car chase scene at the end made up for it. The Faux trailers were awesome too. Machete, Wolfgirls of the SS, Don't and Thanksgiving all helped make it a complete Grindhouse experience. Ironically I saw the movie in a really nice theater, but I'm planning on seeing it again, so maybe I'll catch it at a dive. If you go see it, keep an eye out for nods to Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. I'm sure there were some nods to some of Rodriguez's flicks but I've seen Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill multiple times so... So, suspend your disbelief, check your brain in at the door and don't drink a 32 oz drink Quote
eriku Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Went last night and overall I enjoyed them both. I liked Planet Terror quite a bit more than Death Proof. I expect Tarantino's films to be heavy on the dialogue, but the inane crap the girls were going on and on about in Death Proof was truly aweful, and the zoomed-in shots of the chick fiddling with her text messages just drove me insane. I guess they were too true-to-life for me to handle. After a few minutes of the first set of girls I was so hoping that they'd all get waxed (and they did!). The second set of girls weren't quite as annoying, but honestly I was hoping to see Stuntman Mike finish them all off, too. I think my favorite part of the whole double-feature was the "missing reel" cut in Planet Terror that made the film go from love scene to the entire BBQ joint in massive flames with no hint of what happened in between. For some reason I found that hilarious. Oh, and the fake trailer with Nick Cage as Fu Manchu really got a cackle out of me. Very unexpected. Edited April 7, 2007 by eriku Quote
Skullsixx Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I'm looking to see it next week seeing as I'm on vacation. The movie around 3 hours and 12 minutes too. YIKES. It's called... getting your moneys worth!!! Quote
Sumdumgai Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Just saw it with my wife and we loved it. I enjoyed Planet Terror much more than Death Proof, as eriku mentioned Tarantino's movie is pretty wordy. It was good to see Michael Biehn in a movie again! Loved the trailer for Machete. I would have gone to see that had Rodriguez made it into a movie. Thanksgiving trailer had me hurting in a certain spot... Quote
Hoptimus Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Saw it today. I loved both films but as a car nut I gotta give the nod to Death Proof. I caught the Matinee and it was the best 6 bucks I spent all year so far. Quote
mondamoto Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 I saw it Friday afternoon and loved them both. Did anyone else notice that a lot of the same actors in each movie were also plaing the same Characters in each movie. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 They were playing the same characters, except Tarantino. Highlight to read a spoiler, sort of: Death Proof happens before Planet Terror chronologically. They take place in the same universe. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Here are some of the nods to other Tarantino films I caught. In Planet Terror, when El Wray goes to the Bone Shack for the first time, JT gives him a pack of "Red Apple" cigarettes. The same brand Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) asks the bartender for at Marsellus Wallace's bar. After the first car wreck in Death Proof, Earl McGraw and Son Number One from Kill Bill question Dakota Block about Stuntman Mike's injuries. When Zoe, Abernathy, Kim and Lee go to look at the Dodge Challenger, the owner Jasper is the same guy who paid Buck for some alone time with The Bride while she seemed comatose. One of the buddies I saw it with said the bottle of whiskey that Stuntman Mike pours on his bullet wound is the same brand Kurt Russell drank in the The Thing. anyone catch any other easter eggs?

Hoptimus Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Jack Burtons tank top from Big Trouble in Little China is in the first bar you meet Stuntman Mike. Quote
