Planet Terror (DVD)

Remarkable tribute to the horror flix of the 1970s, complete with fake scratches and an apology for a "missing reel". Director Robert ("Sin City") Rodriguez squeezes every ounce of horror out of what is in effect a particularly gruesome zombie movie. Best feature: a busty wench who has a machine gun instead of a right leg! Cast includes Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino and Rose McGowan.

I can safely say i really enjoyed this film lots of cameos by well known faces and the way the film is made makes you feel like your in a fleapit cinema from days long gone before cinema became so commercialized. The crackly distorted sound and effects to make it feel like a well worn projector film reel just add to the atmosphere of the film it even has a supposed missing reel! Add to this cool zombies, plenty of action, cheesy lines, atmospheric music and plenty of scantily clad chicks this really is a film geeks wet dream!! I enjoyed Deathproof but personally I think this is better and more fun to watch then again you cannot beat a good zombie movie in my opinion!!!

Where do you start? It's probably the best horror I've seen since House of a 1000 corpses. I've never really come across grindhouse before but if this and it's paired film Death Proof are anything to go by, I will be watching loads more. Out of the two films released as Grindhouse in the states, this is by far the superior horror, it has its tongue firmly in its cheek and uses the techniques of making it look like a drive in movie to add an extra element to the film.
I really don't want to go on about zombies, shoot ups, trying to open a door with your wrist as you don't have the use of your hands or strippers with a machine gun leg or why anyone would carry a monkey bike in their boot, I think you can see that from the box.
Just know if you grab some popcorn, turn down the lights and sit back with this baby, your in for one hell of a fun ride.

Planet Terror in my opinion was the better of the two films within Grindhouse. Over the top action, ridiculous blood shots and gross out scenes (one particular involving a very special cameo) are pulled off perfectly and the laughs and Desperado-ish fight scenes come flying off the screen a mile a minute. A zombie classic!

After Enjoying the likes on Sin city, Desperado and From dusk till dawn I had high hopes for this movie.
And believe me I was extremely impressed with the final product.
Great action
great actors
great film
Loved it!

Great movie, back to the old tongue in cheek b fliks of years gone by !!

not for those without a sense of humour !

perfect accompaniment for the second Grindhouse movie "Death Proof"

Rodriguez uses his favourite weapons once again : light humor, attaching but larger than life characters and totally improbable weapons ... In this zombie movie, separate stories get together as some zombie plague spreads and destoys the city, with some military acting strange. And another very good score by Rodriguez himself.

wot can i say about this film? if you like a gud cheesy horror type of film you'l love this, this is rodriguez at his best! he also did dusk till dawn "another classic" and if youve seen that 1 and enjoid it you'l love this 1.

Awesome flick. I loved every minute. Really witty and well scripted. The directing is top notch i can't fault it. The actors all give great performances and Freddy Rodriguez is great. Stupid story yes, but that is the idea - it is by far one of the best zombie flicks ever. Rose mcGowan and her gun leg absolutely rule - and their are loads of iconic images and set pieces. Very very very gory, very funny, totally off the wall and unexplained. Great cinematography - the thing is so rich and livid with colour - it is a thing of beauty. another plus is the death of Tarantino in it!!! yay! go and watch it now - but not if your squeamish.

The script is a goulash of garish exploitation movie moments skewered for every ounce of amusement at their outlandish hyperbole and bathos. Put on this pair of andy warhol fun-spex through which Robert Rodriguez views and enjoys trash cinema and you will see it in the way he sees it.

my thoughts are good delivery times good payments very very helpful it has been very impressive to see good stuff being sold at a very good price thanks very much the quality has been very good with delivery and payments i thank you very much for your ideas

When a chemical virus gets loose in a small town, it can only mean big trouble!
Those who are affected become mutated, sore-ridden zombies. And the survivors - a band of misfits, each with their own demons - must find a way of escape.

Part of the Tarantino / Rodriguez GRINDHOUSE double, this classicly-styled zombie splatter-house film is a first-class creeper. Shot in digital but with various computer generated effects, this movie doesn't take long to star shocking you.
A complete and solid movie, Planet Terror delivers on all fronts: Plenty of imaginative gore, a neat and speedy plot line, great acting and Special Effects that are so well done, you only see those that the director WANTS you to pick-up on (eg. the distressing of the print) and not the others (Leg/Gun/Leg?)

I purchased the single disc edition. This comes with a Director Commentary, an Audience reaction track, a COMICON stage Q&A, trailers and a Poster Gallery.

Overall, a first-class film and well worthy of the Grindhouse assocciation. One for the Uber-blood fan. Place next to John Carpenters THE THING and George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD.

Get in the Drinks. Get in the Crisps. But, maybe forget the dipping sauce!

all round good times!!! a blast!!! like like like like love love love it just filling in the gaps to write this stupid review lol!!!!

is a good film very tarentino if you like his films you will like this watch out for machete and machine gun leg girl

love this zombie movie, never really liked zombie films.....till this one! it got dead people! & hot girls.......very hot girls.

A TYPICAL FILM IN THE SAME VEIN OF MODERN FILM MAKERS { TARANTINO, RODRIGUEZS }
UNUSUAL , DIFFERENT DIALOGUE, GREAT ACTION AND NOT THE NORMAL TYPE OF START MIDDLE AND END THAT MOST FILMS SEEM TO HAVE.

The ebayer took my money sent by cheque and never sent out the item so I don't know what the film is really like!

Fairly dumb-ass movie, but that's the idea. Did a good job of sticking to the source material of shlocky low budget 70s-80s straight to video fare. Enjoyable

i was really looking forward to watching this film but was a bit dissapointed. i love old b movie horror films but this just didnt keep me watching, the story was blah, the acting was ok, if you like zombie films it might be one for the collection but i wouldnt get your hopes up.

Rodriguez's half of Grindhouse is as good as Death Proof, and considerably more entertaining. McGowan is a suitably sexy lead with a machine gun for a leg, and plenty of gelatinous zombie blood. Very fun, but not for the squamish!
