Danny Trejo is such a bad ass that not only did he serve time in San Quentin but he also won the lightweight and welterweight boxing titles while he was there. I have no idea what "welterweight" is but I'm pretty sure that means he could kick the crap out of everyone in prison. And I guess I'm not the only one who who fell in love with the idea. It looks like Robert Rodriguez is working on a feature-length version of Machete. I've never been excited about a direct-to-video release before!
After the preview, we get into the meat of the film with Rodriguez's Planet Terror:
This is a post 9/11 zombie flick that is completely disgusting and an awful lot of fun. When people get shot, blood erupts from their bodies and cars blow-up for no apparent reason. The whole thing is just infused with a genuine affection for old exploitation movies and a real joy of film making. Oh, and somehow Rose McGowan with a machine gun leg is even hotter than it sounds:
After a few more super-awesome trailers comes Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof:
First of all, who knew that Sidney Poitier's kid (the irritatingly named Sydney Poitier) had such a great ass? Secondly, Kurt Russell is still great. I don't want to talk about the plot at all because I think it's got a couple of nice surprises. However, I will say that I think it's Tarantino's most subversive film to date. A lot of people seem to complain that this one is boring but I think that's because it's got a lot of character development. And that's something more movies could use.
Also, Grindhouse features Fergie and I think this picture pretty much sums up her role in the film:
