Good Enough To Be Called Epic!

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2007)

Rodriguez and Tarantino join forces to make a homage to exploitation films of the 70's and 80's. This film turns out to be one of the best films I have ever seen. The whole movie is very long because there are two films: Planet Terror and Death Proof. Also, at the beginning and between the films are fake trailers by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, and Robert Rodriguez. My favorite being Eli Roth's THANKSGIVING.
PLANET TERROR...
is the first film. It's a zombie film. People are infected and eaten all through the film. It is filled with over the top violence and gore. It evens has some very funny moments thrown in for fun. My favorite character is Cherry Darling - the stripper with the machine gun for a leg! There is a lot of gore and disturbing scenes. Overall Planet Terror is a great nonstop action/zombie flick.
DEATH PROOF...
is, of course, the second film. It is about Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) a man who kills people using his Chevy Nova and Dodge Charger (one is crashed). He attempts to kill a group of young girls test driving a car, but fails. The girls then proceed to get bloody revenge on Mike. Although, it does not have nonstop action as the first, it is still great. This film has better character development than Planet Terror. Death Proof also has one of the best car chase scenes ever! Everyone in my theater was cheering on The Girls at the end of the film.
This film is worth every penny. It may even be the most entertaining film of the year. This film is on my DVD buying list.
