Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror - Extended and Unrated (2007)

Good for what it was... would have preferred a serious film

PLANET TERROR was good for what it was..... namely a zombie spoof film that paid homage to Drive-In films of the 1970s.
Of course it was over the top and cheesy.

The budget, special effects, and other film making aspects of the film were quite good which made me think to myself....... "Wow just imagine how good they could have made this film if they had used all these resources to make a serious horror/action film..... man they even had Savini to help them out"

So in summary....... it was good for what it was, but I would have enjoyed it more if they used all those resources to make a serious version of the same basic screenplay idea.

Got a ma-chine leg

There was nothing I felt this movie was missing. Any movie where Rose has a machine gun on her leg, is one I will see. New ideas, good performances, great writing and non-stop action make this movie so entertaining. It's worth seeing in the theater and buying. July 28, 2008

Just plain awful

Planet Terror is not a parody of the mindless B (actually F) zombie movies of the past. It is a real, mindless F zombie movie - and nothing else.
The old movies at least had the originality of creating a genre.

Grind house? More like Shxt House!

Warning: Anyone that tries to claim that grindhouse has artistic merit because of its grainy and dated look will be replied to with the sound of a bleating sheep. Baaa!

In this piece of garbage our protagonist, "Cherry"(yeah, that's really her name) is a stripper. A lustful liberal that displays her body for cash. Yeah, great role model for young women. I should also mention here and now that the amount of profanity, cursing, and disgusting rhetoric reaches historic levels. Do you want to know how many times the F bomb is dropped in this film? 169 times! I'd make a joke concerning the significance of that number, but I'll withhold it in good taste.

Warning: Anyone that tries to justify the outrageous amount of profanity in this film will be replied to with the sound of a bleating sheep. Baaa!

With liberals shooting up their local malls and schools almost daily, can you honestly justify watching a film this violent? This movie is so violent it makes Grand Theft Auto look like Bambi. There are more blood and guts in this film than can be found in a Cuban hospital. This film is so gory that it even made Herschell Gordon Lewis throw up. Wanna see a little kid blow his mind out in a car? Wanna see a woman break both her wrists?

Warning: Anyone that tries to justify Grindhouse's extreme and unnecessary graphic violence will be replied to with the sound of a bleating sheep. Baaa!

Is it necessary for a film that will be shown in theatres and on National television where any children could see it to contain this much nudity and sexual content? A man rips off other men's balls and throws them in a bag. Quentin Tarantino acts out one of his fantasies by attempting to rape a disabled woman who just lost a leg. He evens tells his friend it means `easier access.' They really go too far though when they allude to a past lesbian relationship involving the character 'Dakota.'Sick.

Warning: Anyone that tries to justify the disgusting and demeaning sexual content in this film will be replied to with the sound of a bleating sheep. Baaa! BAAAAA!
