"You just f----d with the wrong Mexican!"

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2007)

What can one say about this excellent film? Tarantino and Rodriguez totally nailed the style and feel of 60's 70's grindhouse / drive in culture (Although IMHO, Rodriguez nailed it better).
The segment 'Planet Terror' was non-stop action, gore and sex. This segment had a clever use of the 'Missing Reel' gag, obfuscating a sex scene as well as several plot points on purpose. It was fun trying to figure out what was going on. Cast was good, story was good, acting was good fr this sort of movie.
As far as Tarantino's 'Death Proof' segment... THe first 40 minutes were way too talky. However, the car chase sequence in the second half of the film more than made up for the talking. This one had a kick-ass ending (literally). I don't think I have ever seen Kurt Russel ever give a better performance! As far as the movie trailers go...
'Machete' -- Story about a peaceful Mexican who is double crossed during an assassination. This looks like it would be a great addition to Grindhouse 2 if they ever make it (And I think they will). Look for Cheech Marin as a vengeful priest.
'Werewomen of the SS' -- This is Rob Zombie's entry. This is the weakest of the fake trailers. Nick Cage does have a funny, if puzzling role in this one as Fu Manchu.
Next there was a ad for a fake Mexican restaurant. The funny thing about this one is that in Death Proof, the characters are seen eating food from this restaurant.
'Don't!' -- From the creators of Shaun of the dead. This was puzzling and damn funny... Its a trailer for a completely confusing horror flick. No plot is ever made clear in this bit of lunacy, which is why this one works so well.
And finally, Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving'. Exploiting the possible last holiday to be mauled by the slasher genre. Very gory, very sexual, very perposterous. This was my second favorite fake trailer in the exravaganza, but only slightly (I Thought Don't was the most clever) All said, I don't think you will have more fun at the movies all year. This is worth seeing several times!
