I saw Death Proof ages ago (go Zoe!) but hadn't seen this... until now!
Whoops, a biochemical weapon gets released and... they are zombies. Let's just state that we are dealing with zombies. Well, by 'we', we have a collection of random people of police officers, an ex go-go dancer, a doctor, and El Wray, and others. They aren't really bothered by the zombies, but they do see them as an annoyance, and so we get a lot of gore around.
You know, I don't think Robert Rodriguez was taking this seriously! Gun legs, balls falling off, barbecue sauce, just anything is on the table. While the intent is to honour the grindhouse films of old, this is just such a much better movie that I don't think he could go bad enough to be truly grindhouse.
Quite the cast too, with Rose McGowen, Josh Brolin, Jeff Fahey, Bruce Willis and any Fergie-Ferge herself (and she does turn out to be Fergalicious). Surrounded by practical effects (aside from the leg), everyone is having fun. (Although we could do with less Quentin.)
Fun movie, if that's your kind of thing!
