Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantinos exploitation double feature Grindhouse heads to Blu-ray in its original form.
But how does it fare three years on?
Heres our review…
Rose McGowan shooting zombie-like infected hordes with a prosthetic leg.
A melting Bruce Willis.Losts Naveen Andrews stamping on a detached testicle.
Striving for authenticity, Rodriguez goes to all kinds of lengths to disguise his movies moderately high budget.
While undoubtedly good fun,Planet Terrorcould have been even better had it confounded audience expectations.
(Rodriguez was responsible for theMachetepromo, which appears before the start ofPlanet Terror.)
Quentin Tarantinos feature,Death Proof, follows.
Oddly,Death Proofsoon veers from the scratchy aesthetic so closely adhered to by Rodriguez.
The polarised reviews forDeath Proofon its initial release are a sign of just how divisive this portion ofGrindhousecan be.
