Among the wounded is Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan), a go-go dancer whose leg was ripped off during a roadside attack, and El Wray (Freddy Rodriguez), a mysterious drifter with a past. Cherry may be down on her luck, but she hasn’t danced her last number. As the virus turns the invalids into enraged aggressors, Cherry and El Wray lead a team of accidental warriors into the night, hurtling towards a destiny that will leave millions infected, countless dead and a lucky few heading for the last safe corner of PLANET TERROR. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, this shockingly bold feature comes replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of-the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers. With a highly impressive and diverse cast headed up by Rose McGowan (Death Proof, Doom Generation, TVs Charmed), Freddy Rodriguez (TVs Six Feet Under, Bobby, Poseidon), Michael Biehn (Terminator, The Abyss, Aliens), Bruce Willis (Die Hard, The Sixth Sense), Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs), Marley Shelton (American Dreamz, Death Proof, The Last Kiss), Naveen Andrews (Lost), Jeff Fahey (The Lawnmower Man, Body Parts) and Tom Savini, one of the founding fathers of horror movie makeup, portraying Deputy Tolo.
