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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

Both my ratings for Death Proof and Planet Terror are lower than Grindhouse. Why?

Both Planet Terror and Death Proof are entertaining and if you like either director this is a must see.

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.

80, which is slightly more than the mathemathic mean of 88 (planet terror) and 69 (Death proof) because of the trailers: make a film of 'Machete' right now! And Nicolas Cage in 'Werewolf women of the SS', he should do more things like that.

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.

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 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.

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.

So I guess I get to review each individual movie and the whole kit? As a whole it definitely surpasses the individual strengths of either movie on its own. The fake trailers, the intermission, watching the two back to back in old grindhouse style, everything just comes together as the most fun I've had in a theater in a very long time. If Death Proof had been better, and Planet Terror was a little more polished this could've been an amazing thing.

"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.

This is kind of an unfair way of asking someone to rank this. Grindhouse was comprised of two movies. Planet Terror in my opinion was much better than Death Proof. I would have given Planet Terror 100 and Death Proof a 75 or 80 so I just split the difference and came up with 90.

I unapologetically love this film! as a fan of both Quentin Tarrantino and Robert Rodriguez, this film (actually 2 films - but MUST be seen in it's original US theatrical release version - with faux trailers, "missing reels", melted film splotches, etc.) This homage to the exploitation, slasher "B" films of the 70's is wild ride. While the whole production clocks in at approximated 3 hours and 10 minutes, it flies by so fast you'll wonder where the time went.

If you didn't see this movie in theatres then you missed out entirely on the point behind it. These are some FLICKS! Both movies are amazing for their own different reasons and I can say no less about the "previews" before each of the main features. While the theater wasn't close to being sold out the few groups of people there were having a great time and laughs echoed in the empty room. This will go down as an instant cult classic for myself and for anyone who caught this on the big screen.

Planet Terror was a great time, Death Proof was not. Planet Terror had a cheesy narrative with insane action and that was a lot of fun. Death Proof was boring with terrible dialogue. Death Proof was a big disappointment. However, in the theatre it was a fantastic time, with planet terror and the fake trailers. I just wish Tarantino would have made a better film so I could rate this higher. The 70 is misleading when this could have been high 80s, easily.
