Planet Terror (2007)

Originally released on a single bill with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007) under the Grindhouse banner, writer-director Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror (2007) revives the bloody, chaotic fun of '70s and '80s zombie blowouts with some fresh thrills of its own. Marley Shelton plays a doctor married to a fellow physician (Josh Brolin) who is not responding well to her lesbian affair with Fergie. In the meantime, patients are pouring into their hospital with some sort of toxic infection, only to shortly thereafter keel over and come back to pseudo-life as flesh-hungry ghouls. One-legged stripper Rose McGowan leads a pack of her fellow peelers and a ragtag assemblage of lawmen, layabouts, and not-so-innocent bystanders in bombastic retaliation against the walking dead. Be sure to also watch the Rodriguez-helmed trailer for Machete that accompanies Planet Terror. It features bad-ass Danny Trejo as a barrio action hero, as well as topless hotties that include Alicia Rachel Marek. The best of the nude scenes occurs a mere 4 minutes in while the opening credits role. Rose perv-forms a white-hot striptease on stage. She may not take anything off, but we do get a lip slip thanks to her tight-as-can-be costume! Planet Terror is a film that is endlessly entertaining while not shying away from and even embracing the attractiveness of its female cast members. This is one of those movies that you turn on for the entertainment value, and get inadvertently turned on in the process. Don't be surprised when a big girthy bulge forms in your pants while viewing this classic!
