Grindhouse (Planet Terror & Death Proof)


Planet Terror (2007)

Rose McGowan is a go-go dancer (not cry-cry dancer) who has very many useless talents which soon come in handy when the town she lives in get infected by a virus that makes people look like Quasimodo in boils filled with pus.
A few people, who are immune to the virus, starts to fight back against the flesh eating Quasimodo’s. By now Rose has gotten a new leg since her first leg was eaten, the second one penetrated through Quentin Tarantino’s eye... so now she has a gun that can blow your brains out... literally.
And among the other Quasimodo kicking people we have a doctor, doctor Dakota (Marley Shelton), whose h
usband is an evil son of a bitch who also is hypochondriac and a bit paranoid since he thinks Dakota has an affair with a woman named Tammy... about this part The husband Doctor was right.... moahahahahaha.
While Dakota runs through a window with a Venetian blind wrapped around her as she fell into a garbage can (this has Elin done... without the blind). She has no control over her hands cos her husband gave them paralyzing shots. This was very funny, well not the sticking needles in her hands part but the way she tried to like for an example open the car door, driving the car and rising her hand.

Now we have moved on to


IMDB


Death Proof (200 unt 7)

This movie has a very boring first half, you only need to see Rose McGowan blond once in a life time (we have seen the movie before). The second part on the other hand is just pure brilliant, though it was a very nice 20 seconds right before the second part when our beloved Dr. Dakota turned up for a few moments.
Anyways the whole good part is about four women who likes to drive fast cars and make stupid games (we want to try... Elin has done some of the crazy stuff here 2) and a crazy guy who also likes driving fast. The crazy guy starts to follow and play with the girls (he thought) when he tried to ram them off the road. We laughed when he got a bullet in his arm after yelling "This was fun ladies, now I have to AUCH"... This is a very good man-hating movie... which we love.

IMDB


The acting was superb in both movies. Planet Terror is shot in classic grindhouse manners which we love since we ARE grindhouse fans. Death Proof on the other hand has the same elements in the story though it's shoot in a completely different way, more serious.
Until Tracie Thoms starts to curse, like a rabbit on crack. Rosario Dawson does a very nice New Zeeland accent and we never knew she could kick her leg that high. Zoë Bell is just pure amazing, all she needs to do is to talk and we melt into a puddle in the bed (WE LOVE THE ACCENT), Mary Elisabeth Winstead in a cheerleader outfit with pomm pomms and is as easily fooled as Elins old odd friend.
Rose McGowan... what more do we need to say, she's hot, she's got a gun as a leg, she kills people AND she wants to be a stand-up comedian.
Marley Shelton = hot doctor with paralyzed hands, and when they are unparalyzed she fires a little gun who shoot needles with poison in them YAY.

As you might have guessed we love the women in these two movies. We are sure there were men in them too but we didn't see them.
Planet Terror gets a 8/10
Death Proof gets a 8/10 too... well the second part of the movie that is.

-A big + for your who managed to read it all... though a big slap in the ass for you who didn't... Elin and Em!
