Planet Terror is the more action-oriented half of Grindhouse. A 2007 Robert Rodriguez film in which a military transaction goes awry and an experimental poison gas is released on a small town in rural Texas, turning the unsuspecting civilians into bloodthirsty zombies. The only people who can stop them are a Go-Go-Dancer with a gun for a leg, her expert gunman ex-boyfriend, a pair of crazy babysitter twins, a shellshocked doctor, a Jerkass cop, a crusty sheriff, a scientist obsessed with testicles, and many other trailer-park freaks from deep in the Heart of Texas. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
| Planet Terror / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: The Rapist (played by Tarantino) tries to have his way with Cherry. He is smashed over the head with a table leg, impaled in the eye by the leg's broken end, has his privates melt off from the infection taking over him, has a syringe launched into his other eye, melts into an inhuman monster, pukes up his guts, then finally is shot in the crotch with a grenade launcher. Good grief. Possibly justified, since Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Planet Terror / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The infected “sickos� (this movie’s version of zombies, essentially) suffer severe tissue damage, evidenced by the visible wounds and heavy bleeding - but the first patient we see in the movie does not display any other symptoms, and is not even in pain, as Dr. Block is poking and probing his arm and later his tongue. The tissue of his tongue even seems to have been almost liquified, and gangrene has already set in in his arm as well - which should cause extreme pain in itself, and the feeling of his tongue being covered in blisters should be extremely uncomfortable and panic inducing, but the patient is largely unphased. Later on we see Quentin Tarantino’s character (The Rapist), who stops inhaling the gas which is meant to keep the symptoms in check. The first time he stops, his face quickly becomes bubbly with blister-like formations appearing on his cheek, but when he again inhales the gas, these are instantly healed. Later on, when he prepares to rape Cherry, he also stops inhaling the gas, this time for a longer period. Everyone else in the room is horrified at the sight of Gorn his genitals literally melting into a blackish red sludge and dripping down, but again, the character itself is unphased by the damage, and intends proceed with the rape - which is exactly in character for him. Near the end of the movie we see Abby and El Wray confronting LT Muldoon (Bruce Willis), who explains his actions, referring to the fact that he and his soldiers need to keep inhaling the gas to keep the symptoms in check. For the lenght of his explanation, he also stops inhaling the gas, and in about a minute or so, the deformation is so severe, he becomes an amorphous blob, not even resembling a human being. Even during this horrible experience, he continues his monologue in the exact same tone and style as he began, implying that the area of his throat and mouth forming speech are not affected by the deformity at all, and it seems he also doesn’t really mind what exactly is happening to his body anymore - of course this could be because his gig was up, and he most likely knew he won’t make it out of that room alive at that point. The above examples could be explained by the gas numbing the patients, or even that it completely shuts off their perception of pain, but the lack of awareness and understanding of the severe damage to their bodies suggests that the filmmakers invoked this trope as biology should not get in the way of characterization. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Planet Terror / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: In one of the film's few genuinely horrific scenes. Robert Rodriguez said he used his own kid, Rebel, as Tony because he didn't want to 'kill' anyone else's kid. He also made a less-violent cut of the film where Tony survives the movie for Rebel to watch. | |

Noodle Incident: The "missing reel." Cut to the diner on fire. Sheriff Hague had been shot. Dakota and her father, the babysitters, the go-go dancing club owner and some of the dancers somehow made it there. And El Wray has told them his Mysterious Past, which somehow has made Hague become incredibly respectful of him ("I knew you were "El Wray", but I didn't thought you were that "El Wray"") and he has no problem giving him a gun afterwards ("Give him a gun. Give him all the guns.") | |

| Planet Terror / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Parodied. Bruce Willis is front and centre on the poster, despite having barely any screen time. This parodies a B-movie tradition of casting a big name in a small part and then hyping them up as if they were the starnote John Carradine being one of the most notorious examples. Note that Willis's character Muldoon rarely shares the frame with another actor, giving the impression that his shots were all filmed separately in one go. | |

Brain Food: The zombie-like mutants eat Fergie's brain, prompting the gag, "Looks like we've got a no-brainer." Similarly, a repeated line throughout the film is "I'm gonna eat your brain and gain your knowledge," first said as a small boy is playing with his action figures, although by the time Josh Brolin starts saying it, it gets creepy/hilarious. | |

The Jaywalking Dead | |
| Planet Terror / int_6c6f5a7 | comment |
The Jaywalking Dead: A small caravan of vehicles rips through several zombies, and one unfortunate dog. Also, as a possible subversion of the trope, earlier in the film, El Wray swerves to avoid a man he doesn't know is a zombie, ultimately crashing his car. | |

| Planet Terror / int_76404873 | comment |
Ambiguously Trained: El Wray is an expert with guns and blades and is the best fighter of the whole group, but the Sheriff refuses to give him a gun because of his criminal shenanigans in the time he'd met him. Once the plot re-starts after apologizing for the missing reel, El Wray has given the sheriff his secret past (but the audience doesn't gets to hear it) and the sheriff is incredibly awed by him ("I knew your name was 'El Wray', but I didn't knew you were that 'El Wray'",) hands him a firearm and lets him carry on. His interaction with the colonel afterwards implies that Wray was part of some kind of black-ops division or at least saw military service. | |

Crisis Point Hospital: El Wray notices the hospital is becoming this when he brings Cherry to the emergency room, dozens of listless people sitting around with pustules and lesions sprouting from their skin; it's a sign that the DC-2 bioweapon is affecting the town. Once people start turning, it doesn’t take long before the hospital is thrown into blood and chaos. | |

Lost in Transmission | |
| Planet Terror / int_7d32da92 | comment |
Lost in Transmission: The audience sees "MISSING REEL." During the missing reel, it's implied, we'd have gotten to see Rose McGowan totally naked, plus the entire plot surrounding Wray's mysterious origins would have been explained. And when the film comes back, everything's on fire, and we'll never know why. Possibly the best cut in movie history. There's a Meta-Gag in there as well. A presumed urban legend (re-told in the novel Fight Club) is that older movies would have their nude scenes cut shorter and shorter as projectionists removed a few choice frames for their collection. Notably, all of the sexier bits seem a lot more grainy, as if they've been watched more than the rest of the film. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| Planet Terror / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: The Sickos fall into the Technically-Living Zombie category, and their bite can't infect those with a natural immunity to their virus (such as Cherry Darling and Tolo), however it is revealed that it's possible to contain the effects of the virus by inhaling more DC-2, which is what Muldoon and his infected soldiers do to retain the ability to communicate among themselves and use guns. The Sickos also seem more intelligent than typical zombies, as Cherry's attackers run away from El Wray shooting at them and the mutated soldiers try to avoid an incoming death by Helicopter Blender. The Sickos were inspired by the irradiated people from 1980 Nightmare City. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Planet Terror / int_bfc2d765 | comment |
Later on we see Quentin Tarantino’s character (The Rapist), who stops inhaling the gas which is meant to keep the symptoms in check. The first time he stops, his face quickly becomes bubbly with blister-like formations appearing on his cheek, but when he again inhales the gas, these are instantly healed. Later on, when he prepares to rape Cherry, he also stops inhaling the gas, this time for a longer period. Everyone else in the room is horrified at the sight of Gorn his genitals literally melting into a blackish red sludge and dripping down, but again, the character itself is unphased by the damage, and intends proceed with the rape - which is exactly in character for him. | |

Shout-Out: The military humvee Abby uses to escape has "Black Flight" written on its side, which was the name of the Special Forces unit Snake Plissken served in. El Wray (El Rey = The King), to Elvis. The infected patient that smears pus on Dr. Block resembles the poster artwork of Dawn of the Dead (1978) El Wray refers to his truck as "the Killdozer". Before getting shot by El Wray and Abby, Lt. Muldoon horribly mutates ending up resembling the Elephant Man. In an episode of Charmed Paige (played by Rose McGowan) sighs that she can't dream about someone "like Quentin Tarantino". In her first major project after the show ended, here she kills Tarantino. As she was filming parts of Grindhouse in between the final season of the show, it's possible it was written in as a direct nod. | |

Exact Words | |
| Planet Terror / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: J.T. mentions that never will his brother share his BBQ recipe, even if he is dying in his brother's arms. When they are both mortally wounded, J.T. shares his recipe and his brother dies in his arms. | |

Staking the Loved One | |
| Planet Terror / int_ea1fe5d3 | comment |
Staking the Loved One: Earl does this to his wife. Downplayed with Dr. Block—neither Dakota nor her father Earl loved him by the time they blow him away. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Planet Terror / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Abby seems fond of them, cutting off people's balls and keeping them in a jar. And the rapist soldier's testicles actually melt off. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Muldoon just wanted to find a cure for himself and his men. Wray acknowledges this by saluting Muldoon for his service to his country, just before shooting him. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| Planet Terror / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted with Cherry, whose opening striptease focuses heavily on her long legs... one of which later gets torn off by zombies. She makes an upgrade, though. | |
