Planet Terror. Death Proof. Equally good? Unfortunately no. I read a bunch of reviews before I rented either movie, and hands down, everyone was loving Death Proof, so I rented it first.
Death Proof has the super hot muscle cars, oh yes, and you know how I am about a hot car. I believe Chiquita called me a Car Whore only a week ago since I would absolutely date a man (date is NOT a euphemism for anything else, people) for a full week just to get behind the wheel of his really hot car. The classic cars in Death Proof are fantastic…and other than that, nothing else really floated my boat. No really witty memorable banter, nothing that really riveted me to this movie.
Planet Terror was a few nights later for me, and wow! LOVED it! Zombies, a secret BBQ recipe, guns galore and a one-legged go-go dancer: what more does one need in a movie? This one was full of action and smart dialogue, crazy ridiculous gore and I was hooked. Even the preview for the fictional movie Machete just before the feature presentation had me reeled in: hilarious.
Watch for yourself, but I think you’ll agree that the zombies of Planet Terror are far more interesting than the stunts of Death Proof.
and yes I did call you a car whore.
I thought Kurt Russell was playing his Escape from NY character…it was pretty bad.
You mean it wasnt the sequel, like escape from arkansas or something? Speaking of which, what would you do to get behind the wheel of a manly Ford Flex? /flex
you don’t specify how much gas is in the tank, how well insured it is…or how you feel about the phrase “off road”
