I saw it yesterday. Both movies were entertaining, but I wouldnt go out of my way to see either of them again.

I know that most of what was done in either movie was meant to be done for entertainment purposes, but I actually thought Planet Terror was almost TOO over the top.

I agree with whomever said something about the dialogue in Death Proof being their to help build characters. Thats obviously what it was their for, so you would care whenever the characters would get into a hardcore predicament. It probably did stray far to much in the movie though. I think with a few tweaks however, it probably could of been sold as its own movie.

I am tired of people making movies that are terrible and then saying "Oh dont worry, its supposed to be that way" and expect me to turn around and like it. Cool, way to go back and pay homage to the original genre of the grindhouse movies themselves, but make a movie that is actually a GOOD movie. The acting in Planet Terror was AWFUL. Before anyway says that it shouldnt be a focal point, fuck off, its a movie. ACT MOTHERFUCKERS. You wont impress me with gore anymore.

I would give PT a 5/10 and DP a 7/10. The humor throughout the movie saved it for me. Especially the coming attractions spoof's that they showed. That was the classic humor that these guys bring to the table I enjoy from both directors.

Did anyone notice any easter eggs in the film? I only saw one, and that was in Death Proof.

Kurt Russell's wife beater he wears in Big Trouble in Little China was hanging on the wall of the bar that Jungle Julia and friends were hanging out at. It was up above the jutebox.

Terrantino and his love for old cerals was all over the place.

BTW, Does any one else get a kick out of the foot fetish Tarentino has?

Kurt Russel was the man

*black spoiler text*

Until he got his ass kicked

ROFL, but that was sooooooo great.

Wasn't it?

Especially the ending where Dawson does what she does best...kill people.

I loved it.

I got a chance to see the movies today, and I did like Planet Terror better. More than likely have to wait for the dvd to see the cut scenes, cus they missed a bunch with those.

I still liked Planet Terror even though all the blood and gore was way over the top. I thought the first half of Death Proof was good, especially with the really brutal deaths that happened to all the girls. I also thought there was gonna be a better ending to DP.

That ending was sooo brilliant. The perfect ending (and the ending I've been begging to get from that genre for forever.) Come on, it was so rofl.

To each their own and all, but it wa soooooooo funny.

The ending was definitely great. It was so simple but pretty much the perfect ending.

That whole "Thanksgiving" trailer was f'd up. I cringed at the cheerleader/knife scene.

I'm looking forward to seeing this. Looks pretty awol

I just read online that due to the low box office the movie received this weekend they are planning to release special editions of both Grindhouse movies at the theater.

Deathproof and Planet Terror will be two seperate movies under the titles given to them instead of both of them being together under the Grindhouse title.

Also the special editions will be longer with the scenes that were cut out added back in.

I guess this is atleast one way of getting more money

Yeah. This flick bombed big time. Came in 4th place in money over the weekend. They were expecting about 20 mil. and pulled in just over 11. With reasons citing most theatres couldn't squeze in a 3 hour flick.

I think it would be a good idea if Weinstein did seperate the films. They did it overseas.

That is such BS, tho. It's a fantastic movie and if they really wanted, I'm sure they could fit in a 3 hour movie.

People these days would rather watch crap though like ' are we done yet'. soo sad

LotR: RotK did great with a LONGER run time. What the gay?

But yeah, my theater only did three show times.

Yeah there was a uanaimous groan and cringe by everyone in the theater when that happen.

I cringed at that scene even after seeing once before online

I'm looking for the opening title song of PLanet Terror. The one Rose McGowan dances too. Such an awesome tune. If anyone can find it online, I will rep you.

Is it the main theme, Boondock? The one in the trailer?

You know someone has to say it.

You gotta wonder if the zombies thought that Fergie was T to the A to the S-T-Y, LOL.

Dude there's a difference between ADHD and a movie having bad pacing and out of place overdone dialouge.

Everyone here seems to love Tarontino movies, and I love movies with dialouge and lots of it. However Death Proof was a drag, because it was poorly done and dragged the movie down bigtime throughout. I'm not saying it sucked, I'm just saying Planet Terror was better.

and yes I laugh/sometimes get annoyed by Tarontino's foot fetish. Either way it's pretty funny to point out to people

Oh for the record, I think Planet Terror was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

'Grindhouse' May Be Split Into Two Films
Disappointing Opening Weekend May Lead to One Big Cut

APRIL 10 - The much-hyped double-feature approach didn't help the violent 'Grindhouse' at the box office. So the studio that released the movie may take the hatchet to it, cutting it down to two separate films.

The Robert Rodriquez-Quentin Tarantino -directed love letter to 70s exploitation films included two features, 'Planet Terror' and 'Death Proof.' Each film runs nearly 90 minutes and they are surrounded by fake movie trailers.

While fanboys ate up the concept, it failed to connect with audiences this past weekend, pulling in $11.6 million, which was only good enough for fourth place at the box office. Much milder fare, including the Ice Cube family comedy 'Are We Done Yet,' placed higher.

Harvey Weinstein , who has worked with both directors throughout their careers, told Page Six that 'Grindhouse' may now be split in two and that extended versions of 'Terror' and 'Proof' will be released seperately overseas and on DVD by distributor Dimension Films.

"I don't think people understood what we were doing," Weinstein says. "The audience didn't get the idea that it is two movies for the price of one. I don't understand the math, but I want to accommodate the audience."

He also said the running length of 'Grindhouse' -- over three hours -- may have keep audiences away.

'Grindhouse' represents a break in the momentum for Rodriquez and Tarantino R-rated openings. Tarantino's last two efforts, the 'Kill Bill' films, opened with an average of $23 million, while Rodriquez's 'Sin City' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' averaged $26 million.

Uhh yes they do.

I had seventeen consecutive orgasms watching Planet Terror :shifty:

Did anyone read my news. It's already out of my theatre here so has it officially bombed?

Still showing it here. If they're still showing it after I'm done with exams, I may go see it again.

Seen this bitch 4 times.

It's not out here until the 31st of May :mad: , and word is it will be cut into two seperate films - nice one cunts just so you can get more of my money. I DON'T THINK SO!

I'll wait for a good copy to come avalible on Demonoid and download it.

Planet Terror was way, way, way better than Deathproof. Although Deathproof's ending was fucking hysterical.

Trailers were good too. Thanksgiving was fucked up.

BTW, I love Rose McGowan. She was fucking great.

Well, in truth it is 2 full length movies jammed together with about 10 minutes of fake trailers to boot. People are fucking retarded for mot going, just for the savings alone.

El Wray was the man

He certainly was. I would have liked more of Doc Block and the Sheriff as well.

Planet Terror just had better characters than Deathproof. The only character I gave a shit about in Deathproof was Stuntman Mike.

Doc Block was the man

I don't think they are gonna cut it for the UK market as I just watched the trailer for it last night, advertising it all intact.

So good news for me there:y:
