a5c7b9f00b A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics. An homage to exploitation B-movie thrillers that combines two feature-length segments into one double-bill designed to replicate the grind house theatergoing experience of the 70s and 80s. In "Death Proof," a psycho named Stuntman Mike stalks and kills beautiful women with his car. In "Planet Terror," a small-town sheriffs' department has to deal with an outbreak of murderous, infected people called "sickos." A gun-legged woman named Cherry and her martial arts-wielding partner take on the zombie army. The two films will be fused together by fake movie trailers. I am not really sure what saddens me more... Is it that Tarantino has produced an unbelievably boring movie, or that the majority of people is even granting high scores to such a waste?! I do not have much to say about the Rodriguez movie, as it was OK. Not good...but OK. I could have even liked it, had Rodriguez tried to come up with anything original instead of reproducing scenes that were not funny in the 70s. It was not far enough over the edge to really be entertaining. "Planet Terror" has to compete with Peter Jackson's "Braindead", regarding splatter & humor. Braindead is now 15 years old, but still shows a lot better how to make fun of that genre. Planet Terror lacks the wits. It is certainly still funny enough to entertain adolescents...But that is the best I can say about it. Tarantino is apparently getting lost in something like arrogance. I have no better explanation. When a filmmaker writes a "grindhouse"-screenplay that consists of 80 percent dumb dialog, he must either be too full of himself or he hates his audience. Normally I would say "Ok. Let him do that. He may learn something from mistakes.", but the majority of his audience actually liked listening to groups of young women talking about pointless crap...for an hour...in a splatter movie... Many people seem to have had the impression that the 20 something minutes of action made up for the preceding boredom. I must assume that many of those people were children (or have been until recently). As arrogant as that sounds...I have no better explanation. That car chase was a "nice" idea...for maybe 5 minutes...After that it was about as exciting as the hour of dialog beforehand. And I never could have imagined the final scene to be created this boringly. You do not even need a scriptwriter for this nonsense! And thanks to all the thousands of people who praise such dung, we will likely see more of its kind in the future... Tarantino will look at the user ratings and revel further in his arrogance and ignorance. How sad! Damn...I can already hear Uwe Boll say "Vy are zey givink me so lo ratinks? My movie was many betterer zan Deaz Proof." For anyone who knows nothing about the Grindhouse films, they were packaged for theater as 2 movies, similar to a double feature you would see at a drive-in in the 1970's. These two movies were directed by Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez. The 2 have previously teamed in collaborations like Desperado & From Dusk Til' Dawn. While I like Tarantino films regardless, I think Rodriguez is much better when he's working with Tarantino. Death Proof (Tarantino's film) started off slow. Like many of his films. The movie was thick in classic Tarantino dialogue and the movie quickly became tiresome. Then in true Tarantino fashion the film reaches an action point. It was fairly early on but because the movie was so slow and uneventful in the beginning, when it does reach this first action series it has so much more impact. Then the movie kind of resets itself, almost beginning again. This time the movie is slow, filled full of dialogue and absolutely no intriguing events. The difference is that this time, as a fan, I know that it's all going to culminate in an exciting ending. The movie seemed to have went for nearly an hour with nothing happening. Just when I was beginning to lose hope in Tarantino again, he delivers the big ending I wanted. I've heard arguments that the ending wasn't as big as people wanted. Watching it in theaters, having gotten truly enthralled into what was going on, I was completely into the ending. It gave me exactly what I wanted. It was simple but effective. Let me tell you the people in the half full theater that day popped for the ending. They, like me had gotten enthralled into what was going on and they were clapping and cheering. A few stood up and a couple shouted out. It was a hell of a movie experience that I haven't ever had before or since while at a public screening. I suppose if you're half watching Death Proof at home you probably wouldn't get the same effect as if your entire attention had been grasped by the movie. Once again the hour of slow uneventful-ness paid off with an exciting ending that meant more simply because it was so slow for so long. That is how you build to a moment to get the most out of a little bit of action at it's best. If the movie had been full of action with an ending like that, it wouldn't have meant anything. Instead the movie spends the time investing you into the characters. Even if you at times began to hate them because so little was happening you were still unknowingly being invested into them. Then in the end it pays off. The Fake Trailers in-between the two movies were hilarious and just plain awesome. Planet Terror (Robert Rodriguez) was the biggest reason I was wary of Grindhouse. Some of Rodriguez's solo projects weren't very good at all. Planet Terror was heavily advertised with his girlfriend Rose McGowen having a machine gun for a leg. That made me the most wary. It was probably the most over the top, unrealistic and needless part of the movie. However I enjoyed both movies so much, it wasn't an issues like I thought it might be. Planet Terror was complete action. While it was over the top, it didn't pass many boundaries that I didn't find acceptable. It probably helped the movie that it had a zombie movie feel about it. Since I discovered the original Romero trilogy of zombie films, I've been a fanatic like most. For me it's not just the zombie that I enjoy. I also enjoy the the survival aspect that the zombies force people into. Planet Terror gave me that. There's a lot that happens in this movie. Plenty of cameo's. Lot's of scenes that are just slightly over the top but awesome scenes none the less. For instant the scene with the penis falling off while Tarantino's about to rape someone. Again, the testicles scenes with Naveen Andrews was over the top but still enjoyable. The Pulp Fiction briefcase style scene when they open up the trunk and it turns out to be a mini-bike was absolutely hilarious. I hate people who tell me to go into a movie expecting certain things and accept it for what it is. Usually when they say that it's because it's a movie that I hate or one that just exceeds the level of over the top I'll accept. Yet you gotta go into this movie with that mindset. If you're like me, you'll enjoy this. You'll probably enjoy it more if you watch the two movies together. Even after it was over, Death Proof was looked at like a slow paced, almost boring movie. Planet Terror provided the exact opposite. It was action personified. While either movie alone may only be slightly above average. One is too slow and the other too over the top. Combined the movies compliment each other so well that together they're much better. For anyone who hasn't seen these movies, I recommend not watching Death Proof or Planet Terror. Instead you should watch Grindhouse the way it was intended by watching both movies back to back in order with the trailers in between if possible. I don't know that you can duplicate the theater experience but if you come close you'll have a much more enjoyable movie experience. 8 of 10 - An original movie theater experience that sadly most people didn't get to enjoy. Planet Terror delivers only momentary kicks...while Tarantino's Death Proof is a juicy, delicious treat, its pleasures stem much less from the play with genre conventions than from great dialogue and electric performances. A "Grindhouse" was a type of inner city theatre that would play all night marathons of low-budget exploitation films in the 1960s, '70s and early '80s. These down 'n' dirty theatres would often show offbeat ultraviolent and sexually charged films under the categories of Kung Fu (Shaw Brothers films), Hixploitation (White Lightning, Gator Bait), Blaxploitation (Shaft, Coffy, Superfly, Dolemite, The Mack), Sexploitation (Supervixens, The Swinging Cheerleaders), Zombie and Cannibal films (Dawn of the Dead, Zombi 2, Cannibal Holocaust), Biker films (The Wild Angels, The Glory Stompers, The Savage Seven, The Losers) among hundreds of other subgenres. In the suburbs during the 1960s and '70s, Drive-ins were the equivalent to the inner city Grindhouses. You could see many of the same kinds of films from the convenience of your car. The title of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's first collaboration From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) was named after the catch phrase for the all night Drive-in movie marathons. Both Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino grew up watching these kinds of films in Grindhouse theatres and drive-ins in the 1970s and early 1980s. When they became friends in the early 1990s they often held Exploitation film double features in their own home theaters (and also at QT's Film Fests in Austin, Texas). Flash forward to 2006, the two moviemaking pals decided to recreate these wild nights for movie audiences around the world by making their own traditional Grindhouse-Drive-In double feature extravaganza complete with two raunchy horror films, fake exploitation film trailers, ads and other cool treats. First: Robert Rodriguez brings us "Planet Terror" in which a town is overrun by disease infected sickos. Then comes Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof", in which a serial killer named Stuntman Mike murders people by the use of his stuntcar instead of a knife or machete. "Robert's film is Horror, it couldn't happen, but mine is Terror because it could."–Quentin Tarantino Before or in between the movies, there will be a series of fake movie trailers (as it was customary in old grindhouse theatres to show coming attractions in the double features). Robert Rodriguez presents a Mexploitation trailer starring the hard boiled actor Danny Trejo in the title role of "Machete". Edgar Wright (director of Shaun of the Dead) presents "Don't", a "70s style British horror film". Rob Zombie presents a Nazisploitation-sci-fi-horror flick "Werewolf Women of the S.S.", starring Sherri Moon Zombie, Sybill Danning, Udo Kier, Bill Mosely and Nicolas Cage as the legendary Asian mastermind Dr. Fu Manchu. Eli Roth's (Hostel) fake trailer is an ultraviolent homage to 1970s/'80s holiday themed slasher films called "Thanksgiving". An additional fake trailer called "Hobo with a Shotgun", created by Dartmouth, Nova Scotia filmmakers Jason Eisener, Rob Cotterill, and John Davies for Robert Rodriguez's SXSW Grindhouse Trailers contest, has been included in Canadian theaters. "Hobo with a Shotgun" is attached to the other regular trailers played before the main feature presentation which begins with "Machete". (1) Jason Eisener's, Rob Cotterill's and John Davies' "Hobo with a Shotgun" trailer [Canada only?], (2) Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" trailer, (3) Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror", (4) Rob Zombie's "Werewolf Women of the SS" trailer, (5) Edgar Wright's "Don't" trailer, (6) Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" trailer, and (7) Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof". Contrary to popular rumor, the missing reels idea in "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror" were not true staples of Grindhouse moviegoing. While many Grindhouse films would be missing frames, they were never missing entire 20-30-minute reels. The concept for this came from a film Quentin owns ("The Sell Out" starring Oliver Reed) which had a missing reel. He found he enjoyed watching the film with a chunk of the film's plot missing because it created an interesting mystery about what actually happened in that part of the film. This idea was then transferred to the two Grindhouse features. It also helped cut down the runtime for the movie's theatrical run. There was some controversy in the distribution overseas for Grindhouse. Because most non-English speaking territories might not understand the tradition behind a double feature, the underlying concept might be lost. There were decisions being made as to which countries will get Grindhouse, and which will get "Grindhouse: Planet Terror" and "Grindhouse: Death Proof" After the Boxoffice flop in the North America, Weinstein decided to split up the movie in all other countries, including earlier announced double feature countries like the UK and Australia. Although some people have criticized, sometimes harshly, the look of the film because of its manual "aging" process, it is actually a good thing. First of all, they helped in the rating procedure of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). There had been a concern about the nudity and violence during one of the deaths in Roth's segment "Thanksgiving". Before the final submission to the MPAA, "age" spots were strategically placed on the area of frame where it showed the nudity and violence, where it suddenly became implied instead of being visual. Secondly, it keeps with the presentation as Tarantino and Rodriguez intended the film to look like, as if you got a well worn print of a film that had been making the distribution rounds for a good while and decided to show it one day. Since the theatrical version of the film is what they strived for to presented to the public, it would be considered their "director's cut". The DVDs will have two versions of each film: the theatrical version and a "restored and remastered" version of the film which is basically the films before undergoing the "aging" process. Also, take into account there are versions of both films pushing 2 hours, due to the fact they are being split up in other countries. So, the DVD may incorporate these versions as well, making a 250-minute version. Only 18 seconds is supposedly deleted from the original cut from an interview on G4TV.
