Grindhouse is a double feature from best bud film maker's Quinten Tarintino and Robert Rodriguez who have been known to collaborate most notably in Despardo,From Dusk Till Dawn and Four Rooms and most recently the quick growing cult which has already gotten Two more sequels Sin City.If you have seen those and liked them this is a film for you.
Grindhouse is made in the style of many 1970's exploitation flick's. When Tarantino was on Jay Leno he went threw the many such as Blaxpotation,Sexpoltation,Neo-Nazipotation,Kung-Fuxpotaion and many other's.This film stay's true to it's promotional promise's unlike many Hollywood commercial pic's today.We see it all from head's exploding to graphic car crashers's which some may be sensitive to.This is all by the start of the opening fake trailer called Machate.
Then the Rodriguez feature begin's which is called Planet Terror about human's who are infected by toxic gas and turn to Zoombies.Far from original but again Grindhouse is not trying to be that.The attachment to killed of character's is stronger in Planet Terror with romance and humor and a ending which make's the first feature hold it's own against our Tarantino feature.
A few fake trailer's later we have Deathproof about a twisted man named stuntman mike where we never really know if he was ever a stuntman.Either way Kurt Russel play's the hell out of him.About a stalker who is a serial killer who has road rage.The film end's in a surprising way because we would expect something that try's so hard to be original.
There still are cliché's of each artist work. Tarantino still couldn't make it threw with out drooping a few dozen N-bomb's.Rodriguez has what will be another memorable strip oh excuse me go-go dance scene(From Dusk Till Dawn).Tarantino throw's in some blaxpotation character's and theme's.Rodriguez still has that action/romance mix.But this isn't trying to be new.
The best performance's come from the whole cast of Planet Terror and as for Death Proof it come's from Kurt Russel,Sydney Tamiia Poitier,Vanessa Ferlito,Tracie Thoms and stunt performer Zoe Bell who play's herself well.
The ultimate question is which one is better? Well that just depend's on your taste.My opinion swing's different way's.Directorial work-(the opening scene give's that ultimate theater feel)Planet Terror.Acting-both.Dialouge-Deathproof.Most watchable-Deathproof.At the end though it's Deathproof.
