Synopsis

Director Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) pays homage to his favourite B-movies with PLANET TERROR, an old-fashioned zombie film that's infused with enough gore and giggles to please even Peter Jackson (BAD TASTE). Rose McGowan (CHARMED) plays Cherry, a go-go dancer whose night is interrupted by a vicious zombie attack that leaves her missing a leg. Her ex-boyfriend, Wray (Freddy Rodriguez, SIX FEET UNDER), takes charge, fashioning her a new leg from a machine gun and killing zombies along the way. PLANET TERROR plays as a pleasing ode to the horror and exploitation films that once played in grimy grindhouses across the country. Rodriguez splashes plenty of blood, guts, and gore across the screen, while also taking the plot into some wonderfully bizarre territory. PLANET TERROR was originally released as part of the GRINDHOUSE double feature with Quentin Tarantino's DEATH PROOF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blu-ray represents the film closer to the director intent..., 4 Dec 2008
By Gary Tooze "DVDBeaver" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think the previous reviewer may be somewhat misinformed. Yes, the film has heavy intentional damage marks but it also was purposely meant to look grainy - film grain - not digital noise. I'd like to see the film as close to the filmmakers visual intent as possible. Blu-ray is so superior over DVD it's not even funny. I own this and have reviewed it with images on my website. The only way to see this is on Blu-ray... or theatrically.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Is Definitely Not A Bad Talent, 29 Aug 2009
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Robert Rodriguez is in the director's chair in this two-part grindhouse movie set, this being the second - with Tarantino's Death Proof as the first, and I have to say this one is the better picture, with Rodriguez putting more grindhouse references than QT did, and I especially like the trailer for Machete, which would make a brilliant movie by the pair.

Anyway this time we have scary mutants trying to attack our existence, and the only people who can help are a one-legged stripper (Rose McGowan) a crazy ex-con (Freddy Rodriguez) and a bunch of crazy people, they have to stop the world getting infected, and ending our existence.

This is a great film, with plenty of action and gore, and some have said too much, but I think it's pretty much keeping up with the old grindhouse movies of the 70s and 80s. Robert's kept it real, and it looks great, and I like the way it's so un-PC without worrying about offending anyone. Yes the plot might be stupid and thin, but it's a good old action movie without effects which look overdone like modern movies, and it's good old Saturday night fun you would have going to the cinema in your local town, obviously toned down, unless you had a grindhouse theatre in your town.

This Blu-Ray is not a let down, it's a good transfer, and has a nice 30MB/s average AVC video - and the choice of 2.0 and 5.1 English soundtrack. It's also in Spanish and French, and there's subtitles for all 3 languages. This BD has all the features of the original double disk DVD and also boasts a clean copy of the movie, without all the scratches and pops that were put in in post production. This is cool, but I much prefer the original theatrical edition.

If you love gore, thrilling scenes, action and women you're going to love this, a must buy for your Blu-Ray collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A love of grindhouse at it's unflatteringly gratuitous best, 24 Sep 2009
By D. McClory "David" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is cinema's dirty side.

Groundhouse movies are unashamedly gory, violent, often funny and testosterone fuelled, and Planet Terror thrusts it's way onto your screen in a blaze of cinematic glory.

It's funny - i mean really funny at points - ridiculously.

It's gorey - I mean come on, it a zombie movie with guns, bombs, explosions and fun.

It's sexy - they went through quite a lot of effort to caste some hot women.

It's violent - WOOO! Smack that zombie!

It's got zombies in it - Zombies!

It doesn't try to explain everything - and that's the point, sometime you don't need to know why, you just have to enjoy the moment.

Watch this movie with your mates, with beer and pizza and you will have a riotous evening. Leave your sensibilities and seriousness at the door and enjoy it.

There's a bunch of extras. the ones you need to know about are the non grainy version of the movie (if you care); and the version of the movie with the background laughing and cheering from the preview screening, Because its nice to know other people find it funny too.
