Grindhouse -- noun -- A downtown movie theatre - in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace of the '30s and '40s - known for 'grinding out' non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies.
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez deliver a double feature overflowing with action and suspense in Grindhouse, a wild, unique three-hour vision aiming to recreate the feel of the no-holds-barred films which inspired them to pursue careers in the movie industry.
Robert Rodriguez contributes Planet Terror, starring Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, and Bruce Willis. A biochemical weapon turns an entire town into zombies. The survivors, including a go-go dancer with a machine gun for a leg, must fight to stay alive and escape. This feature offers relentless adventure and gore, an inventive film which goes to extremes in terms of violence and pays homage to George Romero's Night of the Living Dead.
Planet Terror is followed by faux-trailers for nonexistent features directed by Eli Roth (Hostel), Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead), and Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects). The best is Zombie's, Werewolf Women of the S.S. It features a hilarious cameo by Nicolas Cage.
The double feature concludes with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, starring Kurt Russell as a murderous stuntman who terrorizes women (including Rosario Dawson and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) with his 'death proof' '70 Dodge Challenger. After a slow start, this film explodes with mind-blowing action. Using no computer-generated imagery, Tarantino creates one of the most exciting and elaborate car chases ever. This belongs on the same shelf as the chases in The Bourne Identity & Supremacy, Bullitt, and Ronin.
I'm not sure everyone will appreciate the campy glory of this film, but for those who do, this is a genre masterpiece you simply can't miss.

Tarantino, I'm there.
I agree, the dvd release should be much better.
