Trivia:
John Carpenter, who composes the scores to his own films, was originally chosen to compose the score to Planet Terror. Robert Rodriguez ended up taking over the job as composer instead, though excerpts from Carpenter's Escape from New York (1981) score would appear throughout the film. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where J.T. is lying behind the counter in the Bone Shack assumed dead by Wray and Sheriff Hague, as J.T. awakes up you hear him cycle a pump action shot gun. J.T. is clearly holding a double barrel shotgun which has no cycling action. "Double Barrels" have a break open action where the barrels tilt forward for loading and unloading of 2 rounds only. more

Better than Death Proof, 18 September 2007
8/10
Author: rogue_flight from United States

Everyone I know loves this movie, including my Girlfriend. Yes, it has it's gross-out moments, but they are all so over the top that they aren't all that disturbing. The whole movie is supposed to be grimy and cheesy so if you expect a slick Hollywood blockbuster you might be disappointed. If you are a fan of MST3K movies then check this one out. It's an amazing recreation of a movie they'd watch! I mean that as a compliment. I found Death Proof to be slightly Borning until the last 20 minutes. But, in this movie, it's almost all non-stop action! There are also some really funny cuts, dialog and special effects. This movie is not to be taken seriously. Turn down the lights, get some popcorn and enjoy the ride!
