I must tell all that Planet Terror is one great movie.It was wonderful and exciting and filled with great action parts.Next to it's sibling,Deathproof,there's no doubt that Planet Terror is the better of the two.Deathproof was good,don't get me wrong,but as... Full review
Planet Terror, before becoming it's own movie-animal of sorts as a stand-alone feature released in most parts of the world (and on DVD), was a slightly shorter, near-perfect first part of a double-bill of the Rodriguez/Tarantino double-feature Grindhouse. Not to... Full review

I reviewed this before as it was put together next to "Death Proof" (plus a number of inspired trailers for films that don't exist) for the grand experiment "Grindhouse",and I felt that while I still quite enjoyed the whole package,... Full review

Rodriguez's half of the original 'grindhouse' double bill , which consisted of his TERROR PLANET with Tarantino's DEATH PROOF. Likely audience reactions led to the two titles being separated and issued apart. As a homage to the drive-in tradition and... Full review
For some reason the original double feature movie of Grindhouse combining Planet Terror with Tarantino's effort was never released in the UK! Regardless, i was still curious to watch both efforts, and the first of which I've had the chance... Full review

While Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof seems to be a much more authentic representation of 1970s grindhouse pictures, Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror is more of a loving caricature of 1980s zombie splatter films. Nothing in the film is played straight, and... Full review

Everyone I know loves this movie, including my Girlfriend. Yes, it has it's gross-out moments, but they are all so over the top that they aren't all that disturbing. The whole movie is supposed to be grimy and cheesy so... Full review

I've seen a fairly large segment of this film and don't understand either of the two negative reviews at all. I classed it as a zombie flick and as such found it a good addition to the genre. To say... Full review

The second 'Grindhouse' feature directed by Robert Rodriguez. This was the one I was most excited to see. When I always have some sort of idea about what to expect from Tarantino, Rodriguez has been far unpredictable in his career... Full review

Director Robert Rodriguez of "Sin City" fame gives us a super-charged movie based on his fake trailer that premiered before his B-movie tribute "Planet Terror.....The two movies even came with two trailers to fake movies, one of those trailers was for "Machete.....This movie was the perfect cocktail of actors you thought were dead....actors who leave you wondering what they did to have to do a movie like this..... ...

In Machete, Rodriguez emulates the ruthless ambivalence of those 1970s blaxploitation movies that introduced black heroes into previously segregated genres.....the actual movie is here, he gives us idiocy..... ... Full Review

What's also excellent about the movie is oddly, what I had gripes with in Rodriguez's other movies;....The whole movie is just plain fun, and well worth the three-year wait.....though the snake scene with Salma Hayek was sexy in "From Dusk Till Dawn," the overall movie was overkill, ridiculous and tedious.....It has a cohesive story, it's hilarious in every scene and Trejo is finally a hero instead of a villain;.... ...
