The movie is so ridiculous that I cant even say its good or bad. Much action and very much blood. They tried desperately to include every kind of phobia, while most of the times it doesnt even fit im the movie.

Quelque part dans un coin paumé du Texas, une épidémie va se répandre et transformer la population en zombies assoiffés de sang. Une chorale de personnages abimés par la vie et tous plus barrés les uns que les autres nous sera présentée, et pour survivre ils devront s'unir.

En 2007, les amis Quentin Tarantino et Robert Rodriguez proposaient un diptyque de films afin de rendre hommage aux films d'exploitations des années 70-80. Tandis que Tarantino réalisait « Boulevard de la Mort » centré sur le slasher movie, son "compadre" s'occupait du film de zombie avec « Planet Terror ». À la fois parodie et hommage, ce film est gore, poisseux, mais complètement délirant. Tout y est caricatural, dans l'excès, mais c'est ce qui fait la force de ce film à voir comme du pur divertissement.

Si vous aimez Tarantino, je vous conseille tout de même de vous pencher sur la filmographie de Robert Rodriguez qui, bien que plus « underground » propose un cinéma dans la même veine.… Expand

Review for Death Proof:
The first half is really unique and the first murder is totally unsuspected. The second half is ruined by totally whiny annoying chit chat by a woman with a totally grating Australian accent that I tuned out listeningReview for Death Proof:
The first half is really unique and the first murder is totally unsuspected. The second half is ruined by totally whiny annoying chit chat by a woman with a totally grating Australian accent that I tuned out listening to it. I was really looking forward to seeing the second group of girls getting driven over the same as the first, minus Mary Elizabeth Winstead who I assumed was safe while the annoying **** were gonna get turned into mincemeat once again by Kurt Russel. Instead he turns into a crying baby and the movie ends abruptly with the female version of the three stooges kicking his face in. Zoe Bell really kills the movie and the only way it would have worked is if she got thrown out off the front of the car and under the wheels. It is impressive it was all shot at high speeds but could have been 100 times better if the second half was different. I feel like Quentin whimped out like Kurt Russel's character did and should have gone the whole hog and just killed everybody.… Expand

Sinopsis:

"Death Proof", dirigida por Tarantino, gira en torno a un psicópata de la carretera llamado Especialista Mike, un asesino en serie que va aniquilando a sus víctimas, siempre chicas jóvenes, con su coche de especialista "a prueba de muerte".

Opinión:

Había leído que esta es considerada la película mas floja de Tarantino en todos los sentidos y pensaba lo contrario mientras la veía, tiene momentos muy interesantes y tiene un encanto especial, pero el ritmo es muy flojo, muchos momentos de puro ocio donde los personajes sólo hablan y hablan sin parar, los diálogos son entretenidos, sin embargo, carece de eventos que justifiquen la película, pese a que dura casi dos horas, le sobran al menos 20 minutos, aún así disfruté mucho esta película.

Valoración:

3.5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐… Expand

There are some good characters and some **** characters. *also be warned if you're a big fan of this movie be warned you're gonna hear some criticism. (also I know Grindhouse has both Death Proof and Planet Terror, but I haven't seen Planet Terror, so its just a Death Proof review).(CHAPTER 1: STORY AND CHARACTERS).This movie is split into to parts. The one in Houston, and the one in Tennessee. Honestly I think the Houston story line is better than the Tennessee, contrary to popular belief(I think). The characters and overall storyline are better in the first half. There is a lot more focus on Stuntman Mike and his personality and character. He charms women with his good looks, maybe they give him a lap dance. And he brutally murders them. Also can I just talk about the deaths in this movie, cause they're incredible. I love the scene where the four girls are driving in the car. And Stuntman Mike just rams into them at full speed, and it cuts to each individual character and shows how they all die. I love that **** Its sad though how I don't really care when any of the characters die though, because I don't get attached to any of them. They all just kinda have bland personalities. Unlike in Pulp Fiction where I felt kinda sad when Vincent died, and thought of how the other characters react when they find out he is dead.The only ones I really like are Stuntman Mike, Butterfly, and the two cops in the Hospital. I wish we could've seen more of these characters. Especially Stuntman Mike. I feel like this movie should've been split into three parts. The Houston Fiasco, Tennessee, and a Stuntman Mike origin story. Because the movie doesn't explain why he is such a psycho I don't think. The cops in the hospital threw around a few theories, but no actual reasoning (also can I just say I lost it when the cop said "shoot his goo"). I love that hospital scene. Kurt Russell is such a good actor. That I wish there was more of him in this movie. Especially in the second half. (CHAPTER 2: THE SECOND HALF). If the first half was a 7, then the second half is a 5 or a 6. I don't give a **** about any of these characters. It starts out so strong too with a genuinely unnerving scene where Kurt Russell is stalking these two girls and they don't notice him because they're not paying attention. And Kurt Russell keeps messing with Rosario Dawson's feet... I really like that scene. And then Kurt Russell doesn't show up for 45 damn minutes. What the **** There are some things in the second half that I really like though which makes me lean towards giving the second half a 6. Like the car chase scenes, and the Stuntman Mike scene I mentioned. But even the chase scene gets weighed down because this stupid black women won't shut up about busting a nut in Kurt Russell's ass the whole time. I feel like that black woman character is just Quentin Tarantino trying to comprehend what ratchet black women talk like. And it just sounds so stupid. The australian lesbian I don't really like either, she's just some junk metal dike who wants to jump on the front of cars. And I don't think any of these women are bad actresses either, I think they do good with the roles their given, and deliver the lines well. The only characters I kinda like in this chapter are Rosario Dawson's character (apothecary or whatever her name is) and the cute cheerleader, because there the least obnoxious and I just think perform their roles better. While the black woman is not screaming though, I think the car chase scenes are incredible though. I love how the camera moves along with the cars at 100 mph, to emphasize how fast the cars are going. And also how the scene with the woman on the car feels like one long shot, where the woman is hanging on for her life. Overall there is a lot of filler in this half, but it is not unwatchable. (CHAPTER 3: END). Honestly again like I said. This film is not some of Tarantino's best, but I don't regret watching it. It has some great deaths, solid scenes. But I just wish there were some more characters, or at least character development. Overall I would give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 but since I can't do that on metacritic, i'm gonna give it a 7 for the Vanessa Ferlito lap dance scene. God bless you Vanessa… Expand

Death Proof: It may not be Tarantino's finest piece of work - but it is one hell of a ride once it picks up speed. The first act requires patience, but fully prepares you for the brilliant second sequence.

The movie is basically a string of 'cool' scenes connected by the flimsiest of plots and filled with equally flimsy characters.This might have all been in reference to the Grindhouse movies as known in the United States, but fortunately for my country we were spared the second rate flicks as they never crossed the ocean and thus the reference is meaningless to me and I assume also to those too young to recall the good old days when these rubbish exploits kept people entertained..

Not only is it meaningless to a sizable portion of the worlds population, but Grindhouse features are something you really do not want to get to understand as these movies were bad for a reason and it begs the question why you want to reference bad motion pictures by making another movie that is exactly the same, that is: as equally bad.

Now I will go as far as to say that there is some difference, like the actors in Planet Terror are somewhat better no doubt and some of the camera handling seems better, but it is all marvelous ruined by the lack of essential things that makes for a captivating movie: a well written story, interesting characters and strong dialogues.

This movie has enough stamina for a trailer, a lengthy one perhaps, but something more makes it a boring grind and one we can thank Rodriguez and Tarantino to have burdened the world with. Thanks guys!.

Please go and watch Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead instead.

(I am perfectly aware Planet Terror only covers about half the Grindhouse feature.Metacritic hasn't got it as a separate entry.)… Expand

Grindhouse is a true 80's exploitation film, both packing humor and gore in a 4 hour package. PLANET TERROR: 8/10- There is no doubt that Rodriguez's kick ass film Planet Terror is awesome. Rose McGowan is awesome, her acting is a blend of terror and mischief, while other A listers, which include- Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis and Tarantino himself are pretty good as well. Planet Terror is a 2 hour film- which is pretty long for something that is like a SNL sketch, the comic timing was funny and the gore was over the top. Seems like Rodriguez watched a lot of B movies lately. Undoubtedly, Planet Terror is a slow but a crazy, fun, over the top and sexy ride that can be enjoyed by a lot of action junkies. DEATH PROOF: 6/10- The second entry is by Quentin Tarantino. Surprised? Well, I sure was when I heard Death Proof was included in the package. But Death Proof is not the type of movie that looks like it has been made by Tarantino. I mean, that guy made Pulp Fiction! A grand tour de force of filmmaking! What happened here?!! Kurt Russell CAN ACT. And in Death Proof, his acting is top notch, and so is Zoe Bell and Rosario Dawson. But the dialogue- well, I kinda hate myself to say this but, it's very long and boring. I love Tarantino's dialogues- they make the movie even better. But here it's a different case. Car chases are pretty impressive and the songs are good too. But the cheap writing and story don't help and add misery to your experience. Overall, Death Proof is a one time watch by any means and not a great entry in Grindhouse. Well, Grindhouse is very fun and cheesy. This most fun you will have at the movies. Oh, and the fake trailers are super funny. :)… Expand

A story would have gone amiss though. Grindhouse is a modern day...Grindhouse film, it brings together the amazing writing skills of Trantino and the not very talented at anything Rodriguez to make two films and put them in the same box.
Planet Terror, directed by Rodriguez, is the more violent of the two films. It is a family friendly horror film that you can sit down, watch, then forget about in 10 minutes because there was no plot, bad actors and some pretty special effects...but then again it wouldn't be Grindhouse if it didn't have these attributes. Very fun if you are drunk, a bit of a bore if you aren't.
Deathproof is Tarantino's baby. Now you will only like Deathproof if you like Tarantino, take that as a warning. The film is already about 50 minutes in before anything exciting happens and then there is only one other action sequence after that, but it does provide some very good quotes for you and your buddies to bust out, just like Pulp Fiction did (lets face it, who doesn't quote Pulp Fiction).
Personally I prefer Deathproof, but that's because I like Tarantino and I dont like Rodriguez. But both films are worth it for a reasonable price, nothing over £10 for the Blu-Ray though.
P.S: Deathproof is also better because of Mary Elizabeth Winstead wearing a cheerleader costume...dat body … Expand

The first half, Planet Terror is an old school zombie movie. Directed, written, edited, and (surprise) composed by Robert Rodriguez, it's a definite recommendation. In between the first and second half are fake trailers (two of which, Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun, have been turned into real movies which I saw and loved.). After that segment and a few other things (I think one of them is Let's All Go To The Lobby), we dive into Tarantino's segment, Death Proof. Death Proof is a joyride, in true Tarantino style, and it's basically a slasher movie...with cars. Yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.

Death Proof - Quentin Tarantino pays homage to 70's B Movies.
Great dialogue as you would expect from QT & Kurt Russell is superb as Stuntman Mike. The car chases & stunts are top notch but the whole thing just seems a bit pointless. Oh &Death Proof - Quentin Tarantino pays homage to 70's B Movies.

Plenty of cheesyness & over the top gore & also very watchable. Some genuine laugh out loud moments in it.Much better than Death Proof in my opinion.… Expand

Ok I've never seen these movies, but I saw that it says that Grindhouse was directed by Edgar Wright, which isn't true. It was obviously directed by Rodriguez and Tarantino. Fix this Metacritic.

I thought Planet Terror was awesome, but Death Proof was completely awful. Seriously, what's so great about a movie where 75 minutes of the film is dialogue between a bunch of women who talk about absolutely nothing (e.g. their daily lives, their occupations, their boyfriends, etc.)?! I don't get it. Planet Terror, on the other hand, was radical in every respect and didn't try and pretend to be something it wasn't: that is, a balls to the wall zombie/action movie. Tarantino is a highly regarded director by both critics and the public, but with this one he just fails miserably. I'd give Planet Terror an 8 and Death Proof a 0. So, using the power of averages, the overall score for Grindhouse comes out to a 4.… Expand

"Planet Terror" took a little while to heat up and for the first This double feature was overall pretty poor. The best parts, with out doubt, were the trailers. I loved 'Machete' and everything about that two minute clip was gold. "Planet Terror" took a little while to heat up and for the first half I was seriously contemplating leaving as I was that bored. However after a sex scene stops abruptly due to 'lost footage', the movie becomes an entertaining and over the top gory horror comedy. Even the terribly cliche characters and intentionally bad dialogue works well in both mimicking the zombie - genre films and in achieving laughs from the audience. The film carries Robert Rodriguez's trade mark of over the top gore, wacky and comedic violence and pretty outrageous and funny characters. Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof' starts mundane and ends pretty much the same way. A poor attempt of trying to mimick the the slasher / thriller genre. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were clearly Tarantino's pinnacle in script writing, as they were packed with cleverly well written dialogue. Jackie Brown was a bit long winded and Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2 were pretty much a waste of time, with some fun action but poor and unlikeable characters and useless and drawn-out banter. Death Proof marks Tarantino's fall as a great script writer. More or less the movie focuses on two seperate groups of 4 girls girls. The first four girls hang around a bar and just talk endlessly about scoring weed, their boyfriends, lapdances and their opinion of the movie's antagonist , Mike the Stuntsman, who is hanging around the bar. The dialogue is completely unintelligent and pointless and the characters poorly developed. The second half focuses on a completely unrelated group of girls and their attempts of trying to convince a man in allowing them to test - ride his car. Overall there's maybe around 10 minutes worth of action in Death Proof and it's atrociously bad, mainly involving the antagonist purposely crashing his car into victims or knock them off the road. It takes absolutely no inspiration from similiar and much better movies, such as Spielberg's 'Dual'. This is without doubt the most boring thriller / slasher movie ever made and overall 'Death Proof' truly deserves its total score of 0 (the score of 4 was given to Planet Terror only, while Death Proof doesn't deserve anything). Both movies were also plagued by Tarantino's presence, as he played semi - leads. In Terror Planet he played a zombie with a lot of dialogue, but his voice is far too soft and feminine to play this badass, touchy and aggresive character. In Death Proof he played a bar owner and clearly demonstrated his poor acting ability. Overall Rodriguez's Planet Terror get's 4 / 5, as it was a bit slow to begin with but overall was more satisfying and fun than most zombie movies preceding it. Death Proof gets 0 as it was one of the worst movies I've seen in years, a thriller that doesn't even fulfill the basic criteria of it's genre - lots of action and not too much discussion. Even then the level of dialogue would have been fine if it was interesting, but it wasn't, instead maintaining a continuous monotonous boring drawl.… Expand

Unlike most Australians, I got to see the full Grindhouse double feature in a special screening. My question is, why didn't the Weinsteins just release the film as it was intended, when it was intended (April 30)? The cinema was packed Unlike most Australians, I got to see the full Grindhouse double feature in a special screening. My question is, why didn't the Weinsteins just release the film as it was intended, when it was intended (April 30)? The cinema was packed on the second last day of screening so clearly I'm not the only person who wanted to see this film. Personally, I loved the double feature, I thought it was just pure fun and a great night out. Planet Terror was the best part of the package, a ridiculously fun, over-the-top action film with a decent plot and a wonderfully realised visual style. Cherry was a great character too, I just wanted to reach out and give her a hug. The fake trailers were fantastic, they set the mood perfectly and had me in stitches (though the Werewolf Women one was a bit too random). Death Proof was pretty much a sucky film with a couple of good lines. Sure, it was a tribute to a time period where many films were 3/4 talking and 1/4 action, but the film didn't look degraded like PT (it was mostly shown in perfect picture quality) which killed the feeling of watching a film from the 70s (which was really the only thing that could have saved it). It's like Tarantino half-assed the visual style and half-assed the film (and I am a big Tarantino fan), whereas Rodriguez nailed the visual style while making a tight film that I think could be enjoyed on it's own. I feel sorry for fellow Aussies like Douglas B who only got to see DP on it's own, that must have sucked. It's not so bad when watched as part of the package, but without PT and the fake trailers it just seems like a boring load of nothing. If the Weinsteins wanted to make money back on this film, why did they wait until all the hype had died down, and then release only the worst part of the feature seemingly out of nowhere? Yeah, that'll bring people to the cinema in droves! If they weren't going to release the double feature, they should have at least shown the seperate films (BOTH of them, not just DP) in June or July while everyone was still talking about them and hyped up for them. And I bet Planet Terror would have made way more money than Death Proof, yet it's not scheduled to be be released here at all!… Expand

Tarantino's dialogue scenes are not "slices of real life," they are self-indulgent tangents that bore and drag and do not advance a story at all. They do not make us know or like the characters at all. Having a full conversation while hanging out a speeding car windshield? And PLANET TERROR? What kind of lowbrow gore toilet-bowl flick was that? Just think about it: a machine gun for a leg. Any 12 yr old boy can hatch an idea like that. Not every 12 yr old boy has agents and an enabling system of jockers. The fact these flicks made relatively no money shows at least the masses weren't too fooled. Quentin's produced Nathan since Pulp (which he cowrote) and Rodriguez should stick to kid flicks as he's never made a tight joint in his life. Sin City? Please. Incoherent drivel. Try King of New York or Warriors or French Connection or Pan's Labyrinth if you want to see a movie, just off the cuff.

Well in order to enjoy this movie you'll have to belong to a very limited group of people. I read the reviews about this movie, witch described it as a superb movie. Well let's just say I was VERY disappointed after watching this Well in order to enjoy this movie you'll have to belong to a very limited group of people. I read the reviews about this movie, witch described it as a superb movie. Well let's just say I was VERY disappointed after watching this movie. The movie has no story line whatsoever, basicly you see a group of people talking about random things and experiencing random ( uninteresting ) things, and then they get killed. Then you see another group of people again talking about random things and again experiencing random things, the psycho tries to kill them too but fails, and then gets chased by these girls in an over the top ridiculously stupid catchphrase. Thats it. The whole story in 3 seconds. There's nothing more to it, the whole movie is made out of 1:15 hours of random chitchat and 15 minutes of ridiculously over the top action. I advise you to not even give this a rent. The masterly director that Quentin is ( or at least was ) shows nowhere and I mean nowhere in this movie. I expect the only reason why this movie gets such good reviews is because it was directed by Tarantino and we wouldn't dare to diss him would we now, nah this movie sucks donkey dick.… Expand

Rented Deathproof. Starts off with some cool 70's stylishness, but then slowly...slowly...ever so slowly turns into a complete bore. This is by far the most dull movies I've ever seen. If you rent this, save yourself some time by Rented Deathproof. Starts off with some cool 70's stylishness, but then slowly...slowly...ever so slowly turns into a complete bore. This is by far the most dull movies I've ever seen. If you rent this, save yourself some time by just fast forwarding through the tedious dialog. You won't miss a thing. Just get to the action scenes. All in all, there's only about 15 minutes of action and entertainment in the entire film.… Expand

Most overrated piece of crap movie I have ever seen. The dialog is terrible, the characters are annoying, and this is not a Grindhouse horror flick.

I really enjoyed the none-stop thrilling action of the first, the wonderful previews through both, and the super awesome car scene second. Sure, not for the faint of heart; but a great movie none-the-less.

It's the enjoyable experience despite of poorly thoutht out intermissions. But the project was so much fun for the organizers, they couldn't - I guess - contain themselves. Overall, surely worth the money and time... Enjoy.

There seems to be a lot of disagreement among the critics and others as to who made the better movie, Rodriguez or Tarantino, but the fact is, neither one did a good job. Rodriguez got so carried away with the idea of making a "bad" movie, There seems to be a lot of disagreement among the critics and others as to who made the better movie, Rodriguez or Tarantino, but the fact is, neither one did a good job. Rodriguez got so carried away with the idea of making a "bad" movie, that he actually wound up with a bad movie, rather than a clever, funny imitation of that type of "bad" movie. His movie is a mess, and the fact that it was an intentional mess, is not enough to make it work. On the other hand Tarantino really didn't seem that interested in this project. He seemed much more interested in doing his version of a chick flick, with all the non-stop gab (much of it uninteresting, no matter how much the critics drool over it) that seems to go on forever. The action just seems to be tacked on to fullfill his obligation to the project. Between the 2, I'd say Rodriguez did the better job, simply because he was more into the spirit of the project. But the only thing in the movie that was done well, well the previews. I also wasn't impressed with the intentionally shabby feel of the films, for 2 reasons. One is that I gotta think it's not hard to capture that feel. The other reason is that much of the charm of the old shabbily done films they are copying is that those films weren't done shabbily on purpose. By being shabby on purpose they are cutting the charm out of it. They are trying to capture an effect that you really can't, at least not intentionally.… Expand

Most of the bad reviews, I've noticed, have come from people who DON'T GET IT. Planet Terror - Brilliant in every way and plays off every cliche in Grindhouse films with an astoundingly ferocious brilliance. It's not a parody - it's a loving homage to the wonderful cult classic Grindhouse films of the past. Death Proof - Not only does Tarantino manage to create a genre all by his freaking self but he makes it seem like it too is a loving homage to the non-existant genre that he has created. The dialogue is his best work since Pulp Fiction. All in all, this was the most entertained I've ever been at a theatre.… Expand

People who give this a bad review are really missing the point. Anyone who's seen the films this is spoofing should love this. Both sections are pure gold.

Just an outstanding movie experience. All of the fake trailers were very good, except for Rob Zombie's, which just wasn't up to par. The first film, Planet Terror is funny and entertaining, but Death Proof is just plain outstanding.

The best thing about Grindhouse is the fake trailers, which are farely cool. Planet Terror is the better of the two but still a poor version of Dawn of the Dead. Death Proof is just bad.

Please don't waste your time and money and go see this movie in theaters. All this movie deserves is space thirteen on your Netflix Quota.… Expand

Planet Terror was 20 minutes too long. Death Proof was about an hour too long.

Planet Terror is a sometimes funny zombie gore-fest, but you can only be entertained by that for so long before it starts to get dull. Death Proof just drags and drags. Tarantino trys to get by with his great dialogue again, but it's just not there this time and the first hour of the movie is just puttering along trying to set up but the big car chase scene at the end. No car chase is worth sitting through an hour of absolutely nothing happening.… Expand

This was the most entertaining 3 hours ever spent in a movie theatre. Finally someone is making movies and having some fun! Freddy R. is awesome in it and he should get more lead roles. Go see it if you enjoy something funny and bad-azz.
