Part Comedy and Part Tribute

Rating: 7/10 (13 April 2007)

The professional critics mostly concluded that "Death Proof" was the better of the two films. User comments on IMDb mostly like "Planet Terror" the best. Why the disparity?
"Planet Terror" and the four fake trailers are all strictly comedies. They are parodies of films and trailers of the 70's and they are really funny.
Then "Death Proof" comes along and it is not funny at all. It is trying to re-create a 70's movie, not make fun of it.
Rose McGowen is great in both films, but she is not in the second one long enough.
"Planet Terror" - 9/10 Trailers - 10/10 "Death Proof" - 4/10
