What a great idea, make two films back to back in the old grindhouse style. It could have been awful but luckily it wasn't, its very good! The fake trailers were very well done although Rob Zombie's effort is a bit weak compared to the others. I'd love to see Machete made into a ...( read more)
50/50 here, Planet Terror is yet another zombie fest with all the usual cliches and predictable action but its damn fun. The effects are OTT and gorey and action is as you would aspect from Rodriguez...silly but cool, the cast is good too. The second film, Death Proof, is a 70's ...( read more)
I'm split down the middle on this one.
Planet Terror is a ridiculously good time. Absolutely nailing the mood of a real grindhouse feature, it's perfect homage to zombie horror and 60s/70s exploitation. Really worth watching for horror fans.
Death Proof, on the other hand, wa...( read more)
Brilliant pair of films, no major problems as long as you don't take it too seriously. The double film within Deathproof was odd....definately weakened that half of the double-feature. Best seen apart and Planet Terror is clearly superior. The straight-laced, deadpan delivery of ...( read more)
So far i have only seen 'Planet Terror' but i am just dying to see 'Death Proof'. I love the d-grade filming style of these films. I think they are very unique and clever whislt also providing constant fun, thrills, and enjoyment
Well, I can say that this was an amazing experience in the theater. I loved getting over 3hrs of footage, along with the best previews ever shown. Planet Terror is an amazing movie, a complete honoring of 70's grindhouse cinema. Death Proof was just a odd choice to go along with,...( read more)
Hot Chicks, Hot Cars, Hot action...Hot Movie a lot of fun if you can appreciate the 'homage' and don't take it seriously
The fun is in the one-thing-after-another delirium the movie induces, and in our breathless anticipation of what they'll hurl at us next. full review
Love it or hate it, you sure get your money's worth. full review
A movie lovers dream come true, an absolute triumph in every way imaginable. full review
Grindhouse is soaked in bloody nostalgia for the cheesy, disreputable pleasures of an older form of movie entertainment.
Too often the films fail to separate what made drive-in shockers good (unapologetic bad taste and an ability to generate excitement on a shoestring) from what made them bad (the kind of self-indulgenc... full review
By stooping low without selling out, this babes-and-bullets tour de force gets you high on movies again. full review

I like Death proof the best there was a good ending and lots of action in the car chase.
the only thing that made this film worth watching was the hotties in it and the car crash scene, apart from that.....YAWWWWNNNNNN!!!!, but planet terror on the other hand, that was the dogs nutz, lots of action, lots of gore, a cool old skool storyline that reminded me of b-flicks of that era and it was pretty humourous in places. A big thumbs up.
I wish they werent spliting Grindhouse for the Australia release. I want to see grindhouse the way it was intended. Screw the reviews and box office opening statistics. Why should we not get to see Grindhouse in all its Glory just because it didnt do as well as expected. First they push back the release date, and now they are spliting them up! I only hope that when the DVD comes we will have the option then to see "Grindhouse"! not "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof".
Just one question: if they're splitting this in two for DVD release (which I hope they don't) then what happens to those priceless fake trailers? They were one of the best things about seeing the film(s), and I'm going to be mad if I don't get those. >:(
I LOVE THIS MOVIE...AT FRIST I WAS LIKE F*** THIS SHIT'S FAKE...DUH! IT'S WAS MADE FOR THAT JUST REASON...IT WON'T WIN AN OSCAR. BUT, IT SHOULD THE GENIOUS THAT IS PREVELENT COMES SHINNING THROUGH; ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN MAKING THIS MOVIE COME TO LIFE...EVERYTHING CAN BE DEEMED BAD...BUT THAT'S THE PICASO...ASPECT...IT'S UP TO YOU! HMMM...THE GROSSNESS IS SO GROSS IT'S AWSOME...EVEN A CHILD CAN WATCH IT AND UNDERSTAND IT'S REAL MEANNING AND NOT BE SCARED... I KNOW I LET MY NEPHEWS WATCH IT....PEOPLE SPREAD THE WORD THIS MOVIE SHOULD GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER...IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS MOVIE YOU SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING MOVIES...WOOHOO, GO GRINDHOUSE! KEEP THE HISTORY ALIVE!
Yeah, they're splitting them up to try to get a larger profit.
In North America, the film didn't do very well as a whole. In its opening weekend, it ended up being third or fourth at the Box Office, which was pretty surprising. So, they're splitting them up overseas to see if people were turned off of going to see it because of how long it was as a double-feature. In general, they're just hoping to make more money, as I mentioned above.
I'd be pissed if I was you, though. Splitting them up ruins the experience. It's bullshit.
Why the fuck is this not in Ireland yet and why are they splitting the films. Is it to make more money? The films will do alot better in Europe than in the states...
