I originally saw this on cable. I have to admit that despite the cheesiness, I liked PLANET TERROR much more than Death Proof. I bought Planet Terror and have watched it several times. Rose McGowan is always a plus in anything.

Planet Terror is now on my list of very favorite movies. I am a huge fan of Tarantino and Rodriguez and this tops it. There is lots of blood and guts, amazing stunts, special effects, and comedy! Rose McGowen is great in this movie and stays pretty while fighting off zombies with just one leg!

This movie is unbelievable... My hands down number 1 favorite movie. This movie is gory and ridiculous and as over the top as a movie could be, there is simply nothing else like it. Heads explode, balls are chopped off, and there is a beautiful ex-gogo dancer with a machine gun leg. I couldn't ask for anything more in a movie.

No value as entertainment. This tripe; and there is no better description I can give it, is devoid of humor, humanity, decency, and any other redeeming quality. Its' violence, both visually and verbally, is pornographic. Another example of the sickness that has penetrated this world of ours. I truly feel sorry for anyone who needs to watch this childish, mindless drivel to be entertained. The state of our arts is a reflection of the state of our minds and character. How sad and revealing that this film is an example of that reflection. This deserves NO STARS! Have some respect for yourselves and avoid this; I should have done so myself.

Words can barely express how much I love this movie. It has to be one of the best horror/zombie movies ever made. There isn't a bad performance in this movie, the blood and gore is over the top, and you will lose count of the hysterical one-liners throughout. One minute you're busting out laughing, the next you're watching a zombie rip someone's intestines out.
What I love about this movie is how honest it is. It doesn't try to be something it's not; it's not deep, philosophical, or thought provoking. There is no hidden message or hidden agenda, it's just pure balls to the walls blood, gore, action, suspense, and plenty of laughs. Even though there isn't much of a plot to speak of, and even though there is hardly any character development, you actually care about these characters and their well-being. The reason you care about them is because they are so unique, quirky, and interesting. These aren't cardboard cutout, throw-away characters who you won't remember the minute after they're killed. No dopey teenagers in this movie, except for the Mexican twin sisters who coincidental were the only characters I could have done without.
This film is definitely a modern day grindhouse film, and manages to capture the feel of 70's/early 80's grindhouse movies, right down to the grainy film and occasional missing real. I love it!
You can tell everyone involved with the movie had a great time making it, and that completely comes through in the performances. It's just a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't require the viewer take it seriously either. I have a feeling Gen X'rs will appreciate this film far more than Gen Y's as many of us remember the real grindhouse movies of our youth. It's like a trip down memory lane if you were into those kinds of films when you were younger (which I was!). The humor will probably go right over the heads of tweens, but if you're a fan of grindhouse, horror, and humor you simply have to get this movie.
