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

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

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..... ...

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;.... ...
