Planet Terror (2007) | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching | What Is This!?!

[@o0pinkdino0o]

Danny Trejo made his debut in Runaway Train. An ex-addict and convict that swore to turn his life around, he worked as a sponsor for other addicts. He got a call from a guy on a studio saying he wanted to go back on the coke, so went to the studio and talked him down. They were filming the prison boxing match in which Trejo used to actually box in jail, so he offered some advice. This led to him being a coach for Eric Roberts and scoring a part in the movie (as soon as the director saw his tats). Trejo spends his days volunteering to appear free in student films, he feeds the homeless and also rescues dogs (he has about ten !) All round top bloke.

I've heard, but can't confirm, that the scenes with Tarantino were not so subtle digs at Harvey Weinstien, with some of the dialogue coming straight from his interactions with Rose McGowan before he tried blacklisting her.

Fun Fact: The Trailer for "Machete" was originally created solely for the purpose of the Grindhouse experience. But with so many fans asking Robert Rodriguez "When is "Machete" coming out?" He decided to make it into a real movie.

I live on a small island north of Seattle and we still have am operating drive in movie. A double feature is standard and sometimes they play three movies. In the summer, because its still sunny at 9PM the first feature does not start until close to 10PM. During the second movie the snack bar switches to a breakfast menu . If you stay until the end of the third movie you won't get out of there until about 4 in the morning.

[@charleslee8313]

Rodriguez made an alternate version, where the son did not die. He wanted to show his son (who played the little kid) *that* version, and when he got older he'd see the real one.

[@Inappropriatelylovely]

The damage effects on the film is to replicate a 70s theater experience. Often, when grindhouses or drive ins would get a movie, that print had been in so many theaters and run through the projector so many times that the film would be damaged (scratches, loose sprockets, audio dropping out). And sometimes, a movie would not have all of the reels (Rodriguez theorized the missing reels were often the ones with a nude scene or something that the projectionist would keep).

[@ravenwulfgar]

And Grindhouse movies were typically low-budget, super-violent, sometimes extra gory, often lurid content that wouldn't be featured in typical theaters at the time. Later Grindhouse movies would come in the form of direct-to-video flicks from the late-80s/early-90s

Grindhouse was the most fun I had in the theater that year.

[@ScottAyers-x3b]

Rodriguez actually filmed an entire separate version of the movie where the kid lives through the entire movie, so he could show his friends he was actually init ( btw, thats Rodriguez's son, and his actuall pets.🤘

[@psychoween]

The missing is still missing in the extended cut. I laughed so hard when it went from Missing Reel to total chaos with the place in flames. The little boy is Robert's son and the pets are actually his pets. The Crazy Babysitter Twins are Robert's nieces and the doctor looking at the infection images is actually Robert's doctor. Robert shot 2 versions incase the death of the boy wouldn't fly and as far as his son knows, his character lives to the end. The worn film effects are also on the extended cut.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

"If only.......I had realized..........you...........were......................EL REY!" 😂😂😂 What I love so much about the missing reel bit is that there is actually nothing it could've been that makes sense, which means they put WAY more time and effort into making the movie work without it than they would've making a movie that actually "worked". Lmfao. My favorite from RR.

When "Machete" got made into an actual feature film, to promote it at San Diego Comic-Con Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez gave an interview sitting in a lowrider at a parking lot a block from the San Diego Convention Center while Robert Rodriguez served fans tacos (vegetarian or chicken) from a taco truck at the front of the lot. Robert Rodriguez gave me a chicken taco and I told him how much I loved his movies, but security didn't let the public get anywhere near Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez.

The missing reel is a callback to the time that Robert Rodriguez was watching an old 16mm film but one of the reels was missing so he had to guess what happened. By the way, there is no extended version of Planet Terror, only Death Proof.

I don't see the benefit. if you're editing both videos together into one supercut like u said u will, that can still be done with the extended cuts. if they're suggesting Grindhouse I think they're just saying watch it in the GH order (PT first, DP second) other than that it has the filters Mrs Movies said she hates and the fake trailers (not sure if they appear in the EC) that's all it has going for it. extended cuts are universally better imo.
