It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. I actualy really liked it. It's not on my top 10 or anything, but I liked it. I am a huge Rodriguez and Tarantino fan, so when I found out that they were doing a double feature, I was so excited.
Planet terror, which is Rodriguez, is the more action packed one, filled with blood and guts. And I'm talking like, your guts flying 10 miles in the air with 1 bullet shot. Oh so fake, but oh so good. It's basicaly another zombie movie, just one with a hell of a lot more gore.
Then you've got Tarantino's Death Proof. Not as action packed as Planet Terror, and not gory and bloody, but still good. There is the most awesome car chase scene. Which by the way, was the real thing. I loved that.
So yeah, I really really liked it. I definately say see it, just don't see it with you're mom, it would be a huge mistake, trust me. Until Next time. The RentHead.
I have to agree with The RentHead on the amount of blood and gore in the first part of the film. Of course this was meant to be, since these two films are supposed to be portraying low B films. Planet Terror was all right, it was great for action, and the soundtrack was fantastic. I thought Rose McGowan was really annoying though, more so in Death Proof than in Planet Terror. What I loved about Planet Terror was the fact that Dr. Dakota Block (Marley Shelton) looked more like a traditional (somewhat) zombie than the real zombie's in the film.
I loved Death Proof. I love Quentin Tarantino's movies and the empowerment he displays in women. It's really great to see that kind of stuff in movies. The acting was great in Death Proof, I absolutley love Zoe Bell. She was fantastic, her character was so strong and absolutley great. Her and Tracie Thoms were amazing! The car chases, and everything was fantastic. I definetley perfer Death Proof over Planet Terror.
One of the main things I disliked about the films were the mini trailers in between the films. Some of them were just to over the top and gross. Some were completley unecessary and I don't know how they even were allowed to put them in.
All in all, you can see, make sure you're old enough and mature enough and if your a female who likes female empowerment and all that. You'll defnietley enjoy Death Proof.
