Much better than I initially expected!

I grew up during the drive-in era, and this is almost exactly the way I remember those summertime double-features. "Almost" meaning, the Skyvue Theater never had missing reels. And, the only scratchy parts were the intermission ads, which I'm sure were genuinely left over from the Fifties.
Plus, back in the Seventies, films like PLANET TERROR and DEATHPROOF would have been considered A-features, compared to the rubber-suit monster movies put out by Toho Studios, at that same time!*
And, now, to the movies, themselves.
PLANET TERROR was pretty good. It had a half-way decent storyline, with a nice little dig at the Bush administration during Bruce Willis' explanation for the Sicko Syndrome. And, Rose McGowan was absolutely fabulous during the dance, in the opening credits!
DEATHPROOF, however? A bit slow-paced. And, I was mystified by the presence of all those people, in that Austin bar. Particularly, Kurt Russell's first five victims! Were they supposed to be the cast of some B-movie, shooting on-location, only to be given a day off by the rain? If so, that's one "reel" that should not have been "missing," at all (for explanatory purposes).
Other than that, I enjoyed this homage, immensely.
*Btw; I still regard the original Godzilla flicks as undeniably superior to the CGI revisions Toho has done, more recently.
