Grindhouse plot
"A double feature that'll tear you in two!"
The film consists of two parts. The first film, Planet Terror, is a horror film directed by Robert Rodriguez. This is about Cherry (Rose McGowan) trying to rid the world of zombies along with martial arts specialist Wray (Freddy Rodríguez). Together they kill every zombie that crosses their path. The second film, Death Proof, is a thriller by Quentin Tarantino. A killer car driven by a crazy psychopathic stuntman (Kurt Russell). Fake trailers are shown in between the two films.

Finally experienced what it was meant to be.
Remains a pleasant experience. Although Rodriguez's segment remains so much better than Tarantino's and the second half of Death Proof remains difficult to get through. Also quite a pity that some pleasant key scenes do not survive the Grindhouse cut. The fake trailers are invaluable to the experience. Although I still prefer Planet Terror the full feature.

Death Proof 2.5*
Planet Terror 3.5*
Final vote 3.0*
Funny trailers though, quite successful, they get a separate rating from me.
Eisener: Original is less successful than the final 2011 version, but you can clearly see that Eisener was going to do something with this. 2.5*
Zombie: The least in my opinion. Lots of craziness and originality, but I keep getting annoyed by that annoying Sheri Moon. 2.0*
Wright: Nice trailer, plays with a lot of cliches and the result is nice. 4.0*
Roth: Also a nice one, takes the old horror trailers a little bit too. 3.5*

-sigh-
The last time the Rodriguez/Tarantino combination was performed, we got an innovative concept. A kind of best of both worlds in 1 movie. A Tarantino-style Heist/Road movie and a filthy Rodriguez vampire horror in 1. And I couldn't be happier, a legendary film that you can never get enough of. And I think that's what the planning should have been here too. The girls should have ripped into Planet Terror together with the Death Proof psycho and combined a rough Roadmovie with a cool Zombieflick.
But unfortunately...
Death Proof is as slow as shit in a funnel, and Planet Terror constantly struggles not to sink into some kind of live-action Cartoon.
The only thing that deserves an honorable mention here is the work of Rose McGowan, and he definitely deserves it here with one of the best anti-heroes I've ever seen.
