Grindhouse Trailers

A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.

In the states Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's grindhouse films where released as a double bill, intersected with these spoof trailers, as an original grindhouse double feature would have been. A american audiences didn't respond well to this so, for its foreign release each of the films were re-edited with extra footage and given a separate release, losing these trailers in the process
