Planet Terror (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

This movie is fantasticly gorey and crazy and fun! It's a wild ride! Highly recommend

For those unhappy that the trailers were not included on Death Proof, let it be known that with Planet Terror, the Machete trailer is there just before the real movie begins! Grade A move there! Thank you Mr. Rodriguez! It's too bad the rest aren't there either. However, this movie is excellent. I loved Death Proof, but Planet Terror just rocks! Rose McGowan is hot and the movie is out right over-the-top gory and hilarious. Unlike Death Proof (whose picture mysteriously cleans up), Planet Terror stays true to it's Grind House roots with the shoddy picture, missing frames, including the meltdown during one of the steamiest scenes in the movie. What I really like is something Rodriguez did with the DVD release of Sin City: including an audience reaction track during a showing of the film. It makes you feel so much a part of the experience when the movie was shown to the public. Disc 2 contains the normal stuff you expect from Rodriguez, including the 10-minute film school, a feature on the babes of Planet Terror and more. Overall, much better than the Death Proof release and including the Machete trailer really helps. Own both movies to complete the collection though. And hopefully, with enough people crying for it, maybe we can also get the original theatrical release as well. Would that be useless talent #151? Oh, and during one of the features, Rodriguez speaks about an upcoming 2-disc edition of Grindhouse which will include his 10-minute cooking school, so maybe that is the theatrical release? We can only hope!

I’ve seen this movie about four times in my life, love it. Genius director. Very fun to watch. Hilarious too.

You know Hollywood has probably gone too far when film-makers consciously set out to make bad films. Or at least "so-bad-it's-good" films. In this case action director Robert Rodriguez of Sin City and Desperado fame and Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) sought to replicate the whole "grindhouse" cinema effect with a movie called... drum roll please... Grindhouse. Grindhouses were cheap cinemas in the 1970s which showed B-rate exploitation flicks all day long -- usually in the form of double bills. Grindhouse (the movie) consisted of a "double bill" of two movies, namely Death Proof and Planet Terror. The cinema prints of both movies were deliberately "aged" with scratches, faded colors and so forth to replicate the whole watching a battered print at a grindhouse cinema effect. Planet Terror actually has a faux trailer before the movie itself starts (it is quite funny and very reminiscent of those 1970's action flicks) for a fictional movie titled Machete. It even has a deliberately "missing reel," letting the audience fill in the dots between scenes themselves. The DVD, by the way, goes one step further: you can select an audio track that replicates the cinema experience - you can hear an audience jeering and a guy eating pop corn in the seat next to you. Death Proof starred Kurt Russell as a serial killer who drives a 1970s muscle car and targeted young women -- that is, until a group of them fights back. In Planet Terror -- Rodriguez's flick -- cannibalistic zombies overrun a small town when a top secret virus is set loose at the nearby military base. The gore and violence is way over the top with some scenes directly stealing from movies such as The Thing, Evil Dead and Total Recall. The most notable image from the movie is of a sexy Rose McGowan as an amputee with a machine gun as a prosthetic. Sensitive viewers should take care to avoid it. It stars several Rodriguez regulars and Bruce Willis in a small cameo. Watching it is like watching some forgotten straight-to-video effort from the early 1980's -- Highly stylized and reminiscent of B-movies from that era, the color palettes are often a sickly green with a dated synth music score (of the sort Carpenter's films were noted for) on the soundtrack. Its like watching a movie you have never seen before, but feeling as if you had, but can't remember when. Cinema audiences however never got the joke as the whole "grindhouse" experience was as alien to today's young teenaged audiences that frequent today's multiplexes as were the concept of a drive-in. There were many incidents of audience members not realizing that the movie consisted of a double bill and leaving the cinemas before the second feature started. Cinema owners weren't too happy at the film's long running time either and didn't go to any trouble to keep the movie running when the film proved to be a box office disappointment. For the non-US. market (as well as the DVD release) it was thus decided to market and release the two movies separately. Thus with padded running times Death Proof and now Planet Terror are released as separate movies. All that remains of the whole "grindhouse" title is the "Grindhouse presents" moniker. Back when Grindhouse was released as one feature in the cinemas director Tarantino remarked on the film's odd concept that audiences were desperate for something fresh, new and different. It would seems that he was wrong as Grindhouse proved to be a major box office disappointment. Or was he? Perhaps this was a film that proved to be too creative for its target audience, in this day and age of high tech video games, and instant gratification movies that have to 'dumb themselves down' so audiences 'get it'. I think this was a film that the target audience needed to be kids - if not teens back in the late sixties, early seventies to appreciate what had just been viewed. THE DISC: The movie plus audio commentaries are to be found on the first disc. As stated previously, the film print has been deliberately aged to look much older than it is with all kinds of scratches, splotches, color fades and the like. The second disc is filled with behind-the-scenes making of featurettes and interviews with the various actors and creative people involved. Unfortunately no time is spent on explaining the whole "grindhouse" phenomenon and inspiration to any newbies. But it is interesting -- and ironic! -- to see how 2000's high-tech computer technology is used to replicate a low-tech early 1980's B-grade look and feel to the movie. RECOMMENDATION: Worth a look-see, particularly if you miss those genuine early 1980's B-grade straight-to-video efforts from that era's home video boom, and want to take a trip back to a time when movies were what they were - enjoyable, smart, and full of effort.

Love this movie

Tout passe bien dans ce film grâce à une bonne dose d'humour : les litres de sang, les démembrements, les égorgements, les éviscèrations, les éclatements de plaies infectées,... L'image est très belle malgré l'aspect "retro" volontairement utilisé par le réalisateur. Rose MacGohan est absolument hilarante : elle perd sa jambe après avoir été attaquée par des "goules mort-vivantes", puis on lui greffe une jambe de bois. Elle l'a troquera ensuite contre une mitraillette (après avoir empalé Tarentino lui même) et lancera même des roquettes avec sa jambe pour se faire la peau de ces monstres.. Au passage, les mouvements de jambe et du bassin de l'actrice opèrent à merveille, si bien qu'on se demande si elle n'a pas réellement une jambe de bois ou une mitraillette à la place du moignon :lol... La fin, comme "Boulevard de la mort" est particulièrement enthousiasmante, avec-entre autre- une nouvelle arme pour Rose. L'infirmière aussi est hilarante avec son "pistolet-seringue" et un certain sadisme lorsqu'elle exerçait son métier pour les utiliser sur les patients. Personnages que l'on retrouvent par rapport au premier film : Kurt Russel, l'infirmière et bien sûr Rose MacGohan. Influences du film : la nuit des morts-vivants, 28 jours plus tard, Tomb Raider, etc. Les filles sont sexy et épatantes. Un pur régal!! Bon visionnage

Acheté usagé. Reçu le lendemain en condition parfaite. Aucune marque sur le disque. Boitier impeccable.

There's some kind of Planet Terror renaissance going on - I had to order this from Amazon as the day I went into HMV to buy it they had sold all their copies (7) that morning. Having finally watched it, I can understand why. Robert Rodriguez makes a very special kind of film - irreverent, gross, subversive, outrageous, packed with great music and full of truly enjoyable moments. Despite the content they're a genuine joy to watch, and Planet Terror is no exception. With tongue firmly in cheek, all the men are heroes, all the women are stunning, all the violence is indulgent and exaggerated, and heads explode all over the place. I don't care how crass or silly or low-brow it is - Planet Terror is a film clearly made by someone who truly loves and really enjoys making films that are genuinely entertaining. I wish Rodriguez had convinced Salma Hayek to appear in it, but it's still worth every one of the 5 stars.

Und nicht nur, weil gleich zu Beginn dieses Leckerbissens!!!!! Abby, der EIERsammler schon live das nächste Opfer kastriert. Slashiger Splatter vom Allerallerfeinsten- DAS IST PLANET TERROR! Ein Hochgenuss für Horror- Freaks, wie ich es einer bin. Hehe. " KEINE Leichen für Daddy heute Nacht! AMEN ! " Oh doch! BITTE. ICH bitte darum!!!!! " Klar- machen wir!! " Wie wäre es mit abgrundtief ekelerregenden Bildern von übelkeiterregendsten Genitalkrankheiten.....oder eine dicke, verwulstete Zunge, die beim " fachmännischen " abtasten fabelhaft aufplatzt und dem Doc einwandfrei dickliche Eitersubstanzen auf die eh trübe Brille klatscht?? PLANET HORROR ist der ultimative Kick für Leute, die es gerne verdammt blutig mögen und mit medium nix oder nicht viel anfangen können. " Es breitet sich aus bis zur Schulter- und wenn wir den Arm nicht abnehmen, bis in den Brustkorb. Und den können wir ja schlecht abnehmen, oder? " - " Sollte ich nicht `ne zweite Meinung einholen?! " Herrlich- und so geht das ständig. Blut, Eiter, Spritz, Witz! Und dann sieht man sie. Dann kommen sie. Die fiesen dreckigen und ekelhaft widerwärtigen Zombies. Und schleppen die Plattgefahrenen von der Straße. Nachdem sie gekostet haben. Eine Schlachtplatte ohnegleichen. So soll es sein. Kaum zu glauben, dass ich die Cut- Version habe. Würde man alles herausschneiden, was jugendgefährdend( Schwachsinn) und nicht zumutbar ist(eh Schwachsinn), ja dann.. hätte PLANET TERROR gerade einmal eine Lauflänge von zwanzig Minuten! Alles da, wie ich es sehen will! Geil! Und die Bildquali auch! DAS.......... MUSS SO! DAS PASST SO!! *********************************************************************************************** Story: Weil ein biologisches Experiment nicht so fluppte, ganz klappte, na ja...halt schief ging, ist der Salat jetzt in der Form einer riesigen Herde Zombies( UNtoter!!!! ) DA!! Tssssss...... Rebellische Jungs und Mädel, bewaffnet von den Beinen bis zum Kopf, und mit Motorrädern natürlich auch, wollen DEN Salat jetzt fein anrichten und speziell garnieren. From Dusk to Gaudi!! ********************************************************************************* Fazit sabber: Selten sooo gelacht. Selten sooo geekelt. Ach wo- HAMMERFILM! Und nur etwas für Fans dieses Schlaraffen- Genres. Grins. PLANET TERROR- ein Film, der erwähnt werden muß. Auch von mir. Neben u. a. klasse Besetzung wie Rose Mc Gowan, Tarantino und Rodriguez, Blondchen Marley Shelton, Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Michael Biehn, Danny Trejo und Tom Savini gibt es ein rustikales Wiedersehen mit den LOST- Darstellern Jeff Fahey und Naveen Andrews. Der Cast alleine ist also schon einen sechsten Stern wert! Überdies ist PLANET TERROR ein Menü, das von der ersten kostbaren Minute an lecker deftig angerichtet serviert wird. Von wegen Finger weg! Kaufen.... reinlegen und sich wohl fühlen. Dreckiger und wahnsinniger geht`s kaum. Phantastische Gore- Effekte, kränkeste Zombie- Apokalypse, - und goldiger schwarzer Humor! Ein abgefahrener Film. Ein abgefahrener Sound. Ein wilder Cocktail...herrlich geschmacklos geil! Echtechtechtechtecht! :-))) _____________________ Lauflänge: Trotzdem abgefahrene 95 Minuten ( mit Abspann )!!!!!!!! Extras: Leider keine. Außer= Original Kinotrailer, Film- Tipps!! UND NATÜRLICH werde ich mir noch die UNcut- Version besorgen. Damit das Menü vollständigen Brechreiz garantiert! Hahaha. ICH LIEBE DIESEN FILM!!
